    Green 540i MSport Build Thread (EDC + OEM)

    Hey folks. Thought I’d start a build thread for my new to me Oxford Green 1995 M-Sport. Pretty good shape, almost no rust. Engine runs like a dream. The main things I’ll be working on in the near future is getting the EDC back up and running + some paint and interior revitalization. Never done one of these so go easy on me!

    Did the accumulators today. Picked up a new set of Febi made in ermany ones from Bimmerworld. The ones on there ones were 16 years and 50k miles old and had blown nitro bladders.

    I got a good look at the rear EDC shocks while I was in there. Overall look quite solid with no wetness or drips near the solenoids. One thing that did worry me was a funky seal on the drivers side shock. Could this be the solenoid error root?

    Not a hard job but not super pleasant due to tight clearances and pentosin drips. Haven’t put a lot of miles on it but not seeing much of a difference in feel of the car. On to the next checklist item I suppose.

    So I've started to get a bunch of random CCM errors (ESD Regelt, Brake Light, ASC, etc.) that don't seem to correspond to anything. According to Shogun and others http://twrite.org/shogunnew/diagnosis/ccm.html, this seems to be symptom of a failing CCM. I'm going to take a look at repairing the unit I have but it looks significantly different than what most of the write-ups reference.


    The unit I have is part 61351388097 (for '95 3.8 M5 / 4.0 M-Sport) and has a blue box whereas standard E34/E32's seem to use 61351388098 with a black box. I'm wondering about the interoperability for these two PN's. Does anyone have a 3.8 or M-sport with Nurburgring package and has used 61351388098? Or has anyone switched between CCM's on another platform?
