ya i know this isn't the best place for this but imo e46fanatics blows and i always get maybe one shitty guess of an answer there 3 weeks after the thread is started so I'm posting to almighty r3v. Thanks in advance.
Hey so i have some questions about swapping a non zhp m54b30 into my 2004 330ci zhp. My engine is on the way out and I'm getting blue smoke from the tail pipe, its been running bad for a while and makes bad noises pretty sure it needs a new engine and i don't have the downtime for a rebuild.
So my question is if i buy a non zhp m54b30 can i use the same dme which is a ms45.1 from my car ? from what i understand the standard 330ci uses an ms43 dme but i also read that m54b30s from 2003 on use the ms45.1?
so if i swap the non zhp motor in will it run w/out problem on my zhp dme? if it won't can i plug in the ms43 dme w/out problem ?
basically whats my best option here ? could i send my dme out for a flash to the non zhp software ? who does that ?
Thanks in advance any help would be great. i don't care at all about the 300 rpm loss or the 10 HP.
Here is said ZHP
