    Hey guy

    Repost this to: E85 - E86 Problems - Z4-forum.com

    The aforementioned forum is mainly used by UK owners of Z4's. You might get better help there and actual hands on aid.

    I strongly suspect that they will tell you to get a used ECU/DME via ebay or a junkyard. You'll need to recode the DME/ECU to your car. Someone on that forum might be able to help you do this recode.

    Lot's of luck with this

    Get a used ECU from a 2.2i, delete EWS, and change the VIN. If you get stuck, drop me a PM. I can do all of it for 10% of what the dealer quoted.
