M54 DME options

Most likely, Theres an M54B30 with trans and 110k on Milwaukee (Thats WISCONSIN you crazy PNW'ers) Craigslist right now for $600

$600... wow, if it's not an overheated motor that's a good deal even without the transmission!

Plenty of M54's were overheated because their related cooling systems (radiator, expansion tanks) in the chassis sucked. Beware!

Wouldn't you have to get the stock M54 ECU reprogrammed just like the S54 ECU to disable things like DSC and CAN-bus besides just dealing with EWS before using it in a E30?

sort of, maybe..

Well now this has me concerned about being able to use the stock engine controller from the M54 if the EWS and other unused features can't be removed by a reflash from an established tuner.

[nando]

They can be, for sure.

It would be fine.

So who can delete ews on ms43? Euro II reflash will take care of the emission tid bits.

[nando]

Im sure mark d can, or you could just install it if your dme came with the module & key.

I can delete EWS 3.3 and other components that are not needed for swap. And M54 will work fine in your E30

Post by mistake.

[Gruelius]

bump, so can the stock ecus be made to run in a e30 without much stuff

[hoveringuy]

You will need all the EWS stuff.

Stock ECU w/ EWS flashed out.

I second that. Preferably a MS45.1 if you plan to run ZHP cams.
