    What's the ECU # & chip # in the ECU? I've got one I bought for my '95 540 M-Sport but when I cracked my ECU open the chip # didn't match the standard 5hp30 # and it says to call Dinan and not install it. Figures they used different chips in the 5hp30's for the M-Sport.

    Chip I have (that's never been opened) is for ECU # 0-260-002-321 & ECU chip # 01-00-1-469-154

    If that'll work for your tranny and Dinan won't or can't exchange mine for one that fits my tranny then I'll happily sell it to you.

    Dinan part # for the chip I have is D902-0321. Looking at an old Dinan price/application guide it lists that as for 9/93+ E34 540's. But it doesn't list that part # for the M60 powered 840's. Is there a software difference between the M60 powered E31's w/5hp30's & the M60 powered E34's w/5hp30's?

    The correct Dinan trans chip for your 840 is D902-0262. That is what I have in my '95. I have the install instructions if you need them as well

    I am running D902-0262 on my '95 (with engine D900-4042-E). Relatively inexpensive (compared to many other things the 8 can whack you for) Very happy with performance of trans before/after.

    Disclaimer: the wokke engine chip better (koizumi recommended to me after I already installed)...will switch to that sometime in future as part of my next $5K budget appropriation.

    Dinan Tranny Chip Still Available?

    Hi Don,

    I am interested in the Dinan tranny chip for a 1995 840ci. My ECU is a 404. Is still available? If not, do you know of anyone who might want to unload it?

    Called Dinan and gave me a run around about needing to buy other stuff and cannot sell the chip by itself.

    Thx.

    Noel

    What's up dgreen, I finally got a chance to put in the trans chip you sold me a while back. I wanted to install the wokke chip first, which I bought recently, before the trans chip. The dinan d902-0262 is giving me a trans fail safe for trans ecu 0 260 002 262. Is this the wrong chip for my car? March 94 840ci. Any ideas?

    I just checked the dinan website and the d902-0262 is the correct chip for my car, which means there's probably a problem with your chip. Just curious dgreen, why did you remove it in the first place?

    I plugged the oem chip back on and back to normal.
