    E38 750i dead. Help

    Hello,

    Im in UK Hastings area.
    My e38 2000 750i v12, has dme problems.
    I got one dme from ebay.original one had water damage.I got one dme from ebay.What is match for other, but i need to clear the vin number or flash whole unit.
    Is anybody around Hasting who could help me with that ? as i have no sense in electronics.
    Problem is that i have everything working. But when it comes to starting it gives everything except spark.
    Called out some professionals, they couldnt even connect to dmes what so ever. they said i need complete new system (dme, ews , keys, etc.)

    Can some help me about this. Really want to get this up and running.

    Thank you.

    I can do this for you.
    Downside is I'll need both original dmes and replacement shipped to me along with key/ews module.
    I can then program a used dme to your vin/ews as original and sync it.
    Should be a complete working set to your original key,when you get it back.

    Yeah, Problem is that broken DME got chucked away with all rest of unused parts
    Will try to figure out something.

    I was just thinking if Anybody was around East Sussex. That could come down with computer. :/

    Wouldnt mind sending away as i have one DME original, And second is replacment one. EWS will not be problem one weekend and it would be off.

    Any other suggestions ?

    Thanks.

    As long as one is still functional. They're nearly identical software between the 2.

    is it possible to replace a 5/97 DME with one after the update?

    What do you mean with one after update?
    Your 5/97 should be a 5.2.1 with 5 connectors. We can easily tune that DME for more power/dtc deletes and replace them to lock to your EWS/etc.

    RealOEM shows 5/97 and up as a 5.2.1, but IDK if that's true.
    Only way to know is visually confirm.
    1 single 88pin dme connector is a M5.2 DME that is not tuneable.
    5 small connectors per dme is a M5.2.1 and is tuneable.
