Do I have EWSII?

[Pettas]

Here is a pic of my ECU. Ive read Silver label is and maroon isnt. Well its kinda a silver label, then i got some maroon writing, so im lost. Anyone clarify?

Yeah the silver 413 is EWS. Just get an aftermarket chip and you are good to go. Turner has a 413 chip without EWS fo sho.

You have EWS

I ran into the same problem, I swapped my Ecu with the burgandy tag.
Plugged it in and started the sucker up

You don't necessarily have EWS II.. I have a silver label 413 and it does NOT have it. What is the production date of your motor? You can look that up with the VIN number sticker that should be on it. 12/94+ had EWS II, 11/94 and earlier didn't.

My carfax that I have does not have a production date. I bought the motor from cali.

Go here and plug in the last 7 digits of your VIN: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/select.do

If I read your last 7 digits correctly off of the DME in the picture then your production date is 05/1995.

Fucekn EWSII lol. Anyone got a non EWS that wants to trade =)?

[permit]

Just buy a fucking chip. You don't even need to buy a Turner chip, just find a stock M50 chip. Nobody would ever want to trade an EWS for a non-EWS computer.

[Pettas]

So any M50 chip from before 12/94 will eliminate EWS?

[permit]

So long as its for a vanos M50. I'm sure someone has their stock chip laying around after replacing it with a Turner/whatever chip.

MarkD has a chip for you dilema I believe
