Nice one, thanks again

Hi Adam, thanks for the detailed response. One final question, what is the "bare drain wire"? Is this the fine wires that incase the 2 insulated wire?

Yeah, using both A and B looms, 2.5m, which I'm planning to terminate at the flying leads from the OEM sensors.

Hi, I'm just starting on the loom for my supercharged M44 motor. First time building a loom from scratch and i have a few basic questions. The M44 uses a reluctor crank sensor (3 wire) and a hall effect cam sensor (3 wire also). The BMW wiring diagrams show the crank sensor using a shielded groud to sensor pin 3, and i believe signal is pin 2, which accounts for both wires grouped together in the loom (Shield Gnd & Trigger 1). I know i need to provide the sensor power, but what i can't seem to find anywhere is if the sensor runs at 12v or 5v or even 8v? The Hall effect Cam sensor doesn't have the same 'shield' on the OEM diagram, should i still use the shield ground which comes paired to trigger 2 in the loom, or run a separate ground? 99% sure the hall sensor is 12v... but woud be great if anyone can confirm this for me. Thanks!
