DME / ECU mount

[87-325ic]

why is the 318is mounting hardware used to mount the e36 DME / ECU ?

is it mountable without this? how much easier is it to get this piece

[asubimmer]

cause thats what came stock in my car ;)

idk never heard of ppl not being able to use the holder from a 325?

because the holder on the 325i/e are build onto the ecu. so there is no seperate piece. you need the 90+ ecu mount.

then just use the screws that held in your original ECU.

Slightly related, does anyone know or have any theories about the validity of the 318 holders grounding the DME through the case?

No, i don't think this is possible. The dme grounds through the harness.

As far as I know it does need to be grounded. Lots of people had problems due to improper ground on DME. If you use the late 318 mount it will ground it.
I might be wrong but grounding the case won't hurt it for sure.
