The e30 is my wife's car, so one of her requirements is an automatic transmission. I would like to swap in either a m54 or an n52 in to it. The auto transmissions paired to those engines are dependent on the dsc module for proper operation.
So I am researching abs upgrades compadable with newer transmission electronics. I figure the MK60 unit may be the easiest solution, late z3 axles could be used & it has been shown to work without the steering angle sensor & rotation rate sensor wired. So that would limit me to 5 speed autos with external modules. I would prefer to step up a generation to e90 transmissions. That would be 6 speed autos with internal modules, or my preference the 7 speed dct.
These cars use the dsc MK60e5 module with PT can communication. I have not been able to find anything about running this unit stand-alone other than there is a race only version of it.
Does anyone have any experience in swapping a newer dsc module into the e30 or making a newer transmission work without can/pt-can data. I know there are some standalone transmission controllers but none seem to be plug & play. Maybe I am wrong, but I feel an abs upgrade would be easier than making a full custom transmission map.
