At some dealerships they have a parts bin that they can construct different harness connectors. If i have the connector they can match it up but if i don't have the connector i dunno of a way to find which ones fit that thing.

Yeah it is that hard. They hook me up so i do the work for them to save em time. So if a missing connector is part of the harness where do i find out what kind of connector it is? This is for e30 m3 btw. Don't see it on realoem. Got any info modfox since ur a "bmw technician".

I vaguely remember a list in a old copy of TIS I have no idea where my copy is.
can't you use another connector ? just cut and splice? but you said its a E30 M3 I could totally understand why you would wanna keep it original. I have access to tons of online wholesale E Catalogs for mostly all European manufacturers i could try and match it up, you got a pix?

Without having the trays of connectors that the dealer has, I would say the next best thing might be a salvage yard. Snip off the connector end that you need and re-use the terminal from it. I know they aren't designed to be re-used (because you have to un-crimp it) but it can be done, I've done it. It's not easy, but if you are experienced in connector replacement, you should be able to do it.

I went to my dealership today and the parts manager showed me what they have. They had a cool multi drawer case with all kinds of connectors and basically everything for a wire harness. And there was a book too that actually was a list of all the different connectors and their part numbers. I might see if he'll let me scan it.

It doesn't matter if he lets you scan it or not. You need to know where to get them from...in bulk quantities.
I've worked for three different dealers over the years and all had the trays of terminals. You need to find the supplier of the terminals and see if they will sell to you in smaller quantities.
Why would i do that? I can use the connectors that are in stock and just order any additional connectors or wiring i need. In addition there are some used woring harnesses i can strip too.

LOL, yeah I suppose you aren't looking for them in bulk. Not sure what I was thinking there. Just get em from your dealer as needed.
Got all the parts i need just gonna take some time to put em together it's just one of many projects atm.
