Friends swapped cabrio

I dont want use cheap aftermarket ecu. That was one point of this swap, to use many as possible bmw orginal parts.
if you want faithfull and everyday working ecu, it cost. Otherwise have to pay someone who tune it because i dont want to learn that.

Close to me lives few guys who can tune motronic and other stock ecus (siemens/denso/bosh/ etc) i dont ask yet but i think they are not tune stock s38.

I know that with good aftermarket ecu there was many options to tune and more detail but this old and simply engine i think that it costs more what i really need

I was thinking of swapping to 55 pin ecu megasquirt on my s38 to be able to tune it. Of course you lose the intake butterfly which is a lot of low end torque

Last week Change throttle body bearings HK1210, org number f-83416
Two was not good but Ok one has neadle crosswise.
Now axle rolls smooth.
Have to put New oils and filter for this summer, friend promise synchronise throttlebody.

Thinking about optimize motronic to this decade, did anyone has experiece how much stock engine can modified better. Are the factory left all tunes to fair safety Line, Or on the limits?
now its runs too rich all the time, In garage get headache five second and highway can almoust smells gasolin to drivers seat.
When i swap engine deleted airpump, catalytic converter and air conditioning but im not sure didt all that do this.
I now that motronic needs some info what Is circuled about airpump/throttle sensor/idle motor. Or Is it just old engineering.
