retrofitting BMW Mk60 ABS as a standalone

I have the tone rings installed already. I'm currently using passive sensors for the Racelogic Traction control. I could add a second set of tone rings at the inboard position (next to the transaxle) for active sensors. I've never seen a stand alone active sensor though. Can you point me in the right direction.

I'm only marginally knowledgeable on what specific sensors will work with your system so I'm hesitant to suggest anything, Louis probably knows exactly what will work for you or might even have something at his shop.

Were you able to use the stock wheel position sensor on the steering column with a CAN emulator or did you need to adapt the one that comes with the harness?
My SL-C uses the Cadillac XLR column which is almost identical to the C6 steering column.

Seems you will have to convert the ECU to a stand alone system such as the ones used in LS swaps. Which means the EBCM and various other functions will be lost unless you are willing to R&D deleting the factory ABS/Active handling/traction control. I doubt it would be an easy process.

Does the factory PCM really go into some kind of "limp-home" mode if the ABS module is not present?
I was hoping that it would just put a warning on the dashboard and let you keep driving.

They pop right in the C5 diff, easy cheesy. Once you have the 09+ active hubs with the different spline, the ZR1 axles slide right into those. It's extremely easy.

While you wait for GSpeed, I believe the body control module would need to be deleted. IIRC it controls ABS. You'd need to deal with whatever the effects of no BCM has on the ECU.

I got my hands on a pair of 09-13 hubs that are for sure 33 spline but have a black abs wire cover instead of yellow. Part number is GM# 19208048. Shouldn't all 09+ have the active sensors? Especially if it's the 33 spline.
Do you know of any way other than color to verify active vs passive?

Reviving this old thread as I'm pursuing this for a C5.
I'm having trouble sourcing 30 spline active hubs. Does this exist? I will mention that if I can obtain blank hubs, I can cut the spline myself.
If the only option is to convert to the BR930544 X Tracker Zr1 hub (33 spline) with active yellow wire I would have to get custom axles or redo the whole rear end (from what I've read).
GForce is also concerned with the axle switch for "rubbing"
From them:
Axles:
https://gforce1320.com/product/c5-c6...eft-and-right/
Direct link for their suggested hubs:
https://www.mechanicalpower.net/shop...-hub-assembly/
Once you have these hubs, you would simply purchase the newer 09-13 based C6 Axles.
The Viking coilovers would be my only concern. They use a bigger shock body towards the bottom assembly, and I'm afraid they very well may interfere with the actual CV body of our axles. I think your best bet there is to scour the internet and see if anyone has had any luck with that same setup using our axles.
Thoughts and insight?

But for now, I really am looking for all options to make this work.

Do you have a part number?
