    can the computer of a 325iS fit in a non-iS?

    hi guys! i tried searching this, but i couldn't find anything. so i'm hoping someone can shed some light on this.

    i've got a 1990 325i coupe. i noticed that the trip computer on the iS and the M3 are the same, but the regular e30s have a computer with less features and buttons. can you retrofit an M3 or iS computer on a non-iS?

    thanks!

    What do you mean when you say computer?

    I get the feeling you're referring to the OBC? If so, there's a write up in the DIY section.
    "We praise or find fault, depending on which of the two provides more opportunity for our powers of judgement to shine."

      Here is the writeup for the OBC change. Sounds like exactly what you want to do.

        Make sure you use the correct code plug for your car.
