I need help, I really do.

I found a web page for the e34 loom into an e30, and was hoping this would help, but niet.

the diagram I have, says which pin to which pin, and the colours of said wires from each pin.

but my e34 loom, even though it says this is the loom to use, has different pins, and different coloured wires.

this is the diagram I have

and below is the actual pin numbers and colours, from both the e34 v8 loom and the e36 4 pot...

can anyone help me out here. free tattoo to anyone who wants it and can get me sorted

all the pins that match are pin for pin colour for colour, leaving 4 wires on the v8 loom not in use, pins 1,2,3 and 10

could it really be that simple to just match pin for pin colour for colour?

also pin 7 on 1 is like 2.5mm thick green and on the other its a thin 1mm green?

so if its pin for pin, what do the highlighted wires do? any ideas?
