    anyone try the obc chip from a 735?

    had a really good day at the junk yard today. among the many treasures that i brought home, i found obc's from a 325(E?), a 528e and a 735i. my question is that i am wondering if anyone has tried the chip from either the 528 or the 735 in their s52 swap? the 735 was, i believe an 86, but i dug parts out of so many bimmers today that i can't remember that to be fact. the engine was an m30 with the 3.2/3.5i intake manifold. i would think that one would be pretty close to the fuel consumption of an s52? i wonder if the obc chip is preprogrammed to the capacity of the fuel tank? i would suppose a 735 holds a shitload more fuel than the 16 and a half gallon tank i plan to run in my car

    in the photo below, i discovered that the chip actually tells the series of the car it came from. in the top left corner of the chips in the photos below you can see a 3,5, and 7 respectively. i believe the 3 and the 5 series cars were both eta's. the eight following the series may stand for economy.

    Huh?

    You can't interchange chips based on fuel consumption or tank size.

    Your chips won't work in an S52. Trust me.

      OBC, not ECU...

      I'm still not sure it will correct the fuel consumption and mileage because it's based on injector pulse rate. You're much better with a conversion board like Hoveringuy sells (if only it would work on my car.)
