I did just order a new ecu for the car, mine is a little corroded, as far as the fuel, I have the correct fuel pressure, and just cleaned the injectors, I have a cleaning stand that pulses the injectors while running solvent through them, the pump, fpr, and filter are brand new.

I did make some progress on mine, I got the tool from ecs that holds the cams flat and found out at tdc, the intake cam was off, set the timing and ran a compression test, cyl #2 is 80psi low, so It seems some vales are bent, the other 3 cyls are at 182-185psi, thought i could probably get it to start, but it's just not wanting to, so off comes the head today, and hopefully it's repairable, I'll make sure it's saveable before I order a timing rebuild, if it's junk, I'll be ordering the sikky ls conversion. 😆 I did just pick up another e30 for my wife, it's an 84 318i and hers had the same issue of taking forever to start, I replaced the fuel pump, filter, regulator, cleaned the injectors, and re-timed it with a timing light, and it fires right up now, maybe yours needs the same?
