BMW i8 MAP - Sensor placement

Hello there.

Does anyone have any pictures or tips on how to reach and plug in a new adapter on the MAP connector?

Trying yto install a tuning kit from Essing Performence but i can localize the damn connector. Anyone have any tips?

I looked at the i8 Training Manual on page 22, item number 4, and found the location of the intake manifold pressure sensor. I believe this is the same as the MAP sensor you are referring to but I'm not sure:

I also found a picture of a long block and it appears that this same sensor is the one in the photo with the brown wires connected to it:

If this is true, then this area is covered with acoustic covers. You'd have to remove the top acoustic cover on the engine by pulling straight upward. There are 4 rubber grommets keeping it attached to the engine. Then, try to remove the acoustic cover just in front of that one, to get to this sensor. It's a tight area.
