This works on almost every car....I know in the Mercedes the only diff is that you have to get the shifter as well..Great Information....The program alone one one of these cars can run 1k or better
Of course they will all start it. The problem and difference between the 3 is the software on the engine computer. You need to update the software to the correct one for your car. This varies based on year/model and what transmission you have.
+Matt M 1 thing, if the PN in your new (used) DME was not for your VIN and you flash it based on your VIN you will have data mismatch or internal damage DME ERROR, reduced performance and MIL :-).
Thanks - great videos. Interesting to see that you must have components from a same/similar model (same engine). Also worthy to note that you cannot use a DME & EWS from an automatic in a manual. Not sure if the reverse applies - would be worthwhile investigating if you can? The EWS from the auto looks for a signal from the automatic gearbox to say it is in "P" (or "N") so it can start. Obviously manual boxes do not send this signal. Hence - no crank nor start will continue! Cheers
you know that's you have to reprogram it right ok so if I have only ecm replacement but not ews or key will it still work how can I reprogram it to work for my 04 BMW 325xi 2.5l awd
I transferred a 2002 330i that I swapped the motor out from a 2003 330ci, I have the dme unit out, so to make this swap complete, I just need the EWS and key cylinder? They have the same MS43 computer, just the car does not stay idle well with the 330i dme.
I have a 2001 530i that got broken into and they broke my barrel and ground up the ignition lock assembly as well. I found 2002 330i that is being parted out. Can I put that Key, DME and EWS system in my car?
would recommend putting from 01 530i instead, that way you can change door and trunk key cylinder and only have one key versus 2 keys. We have DME kit off 01 bmw 530i if interested.
bimmermerchant ok. I sent an email for a parts inquiry about it on your website. Hopefully you get it before the kit sells haha. I’ve also sent an inquiry about the tumbler to my local bmw dealership.
Sorry for asking this question if it’s already been answered. I swapped a 330 engine in a 323i I have both complete cars can I just swap over 330 dme, ews and key cylinder or entire steering column and have an successful start or will I have to still flash dme?
I am wondering the key remote functions of the donor key such as to lock and unlock the doors and the truck. Also the window functions. I appreciate for your time. Thank you.
Hi, nice video I might be having issues with my DME and was wondering how to swap it for testing, very helpful. Have you tried an DME and EWS from E39, 525i or 530i? Would that work?
lochigue DME issues are not that common. Most people think its a dme issue when it could be other issues such as a fuse or blown relay. Replacing DME's should be the last resort. You should only swap dme's from same car so if you have a 530i, then replacement dme should also come from a 530i.
+lochigue I am having issues myself with a 2007 328I. The dealer told me that I had to replace it with a new one only!,,, That part is $1,900,, with labor its gonna cost over $2,500 A TOAL NIGHTMARE!!!!. If
+Adrian G. Thanks bro! i got it done , couldnt believe i got a dme, cas module amd key programmed. it costed me $775 and the car runs awesome,, the only problem is that when i go to autozone due to engine light my vin doesnt show. is that normal?
Not necessarily. If you put a 330 dme on a 325 or 323 model, driving performance will not be the same because 330 dme's are tuned specifically for 3.0L engine.
bimmermerchant swapping a 06' 330i into a 04' 325i what type of running and performance is it you think will be like? stall? safety mode or limp mode?? or just a few little things like dash lights on? I purchased a 06 330 for my 04 325i zhp
Never install, DME / EWS / Key kits in order to replace DME. 1.The EWS holds VO / VIN / coding data. Also you will never be able to order a key from a dealer if yours stops working or you loose it. 2.Also you will have mileage manipulation dot on the cluster because EWS has different data. 3.Also the DME from another car has different software (not for your car) even when it has the same engine and it will cause problem in the future. 4. Finally, you can get E46 DMEs programmed to your car (EWS, software) on eBay for very little money. So, what is the point here???

Matt M so can I just send my EWS to get fixed?

Thank you Brian for your feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to watch our channel.
Does anybody know if you can still use the obd2 port to connect to the ecu (read codes, etc) ?
Are you able to read normal diagnostics after this?
Hey is asking me to give Them my EUM from the vehicle do not know the location or how to take it off can you please help me
What if you had only switch the ecm?
I have a 2007 x5 e70 4.8L. If I purchase a combo set consisting of a dme, cas, and key from the same year, make, and model, would it be plug and play?
When you switch the dme do you have to switch the ews? I got code p0604
you know that's you have to reprogram it right ok so if I have only ecm replacement but not ews or key will it still work how can I reprogram it to work for my 04 BMW 325xi 2.5l awd
hi can you replace just the key ignition and lever the original ews and the other box will it start the car up thanks
I transferred a 2002 330i that I swapped the motor out from a 2003 330ci, I have the dme unit out, so to make this swap complete, I just need the EWS and key cylinder? They have the same MS43 computer, just the car does not stay idle well with the 330i dme.
you didnt have to swap dme's. if your engine won't stay idle, then somehting else is wrong, not dme
Si, to swap dme only matters the kind of engine? If the donor and the receptor cars have the same engine, it should work well? Pleease help me.
don't understand your question.
Wat other ecu can i use is a 2001 e46 323i? Please help
Hey I see someone selling everything dme ews and keys I wanted to know if I can use the keys if it is a 330xi on my 330ci.
No
@Bimmermerchant what about if I want to change just the computer and ews from a 00 323i and keep my original key from my 00 323i would it work?
won't work
do you need the key, or it will start just with dme and ews?
Do you have any info on that bro?
Can this type of dme can be repair? do you know anyone ?
The older ecu kit probably expected a cable throttle, later cars are fly by wire throttle.
correct
CAN YOU DO IT TO A 2003 BMW 745LI AND MAKE IT START?
I have a 2001 530i that got broken into and they broke my barrel and ground up the ignition lock assembly as well. I found 2002 330i that is being parted out. Can I put that Key, DME and EWS system in my car?
would recommend putting from 01 530i instead, that way you can change door and trunk key cylinder and only have one key versus 2 keys. We have DME kit off 01 bmw 530i if interested.
would this be a cheaper route than getting a new key tumbler from BMW? I don't see the DME kit from an 01 530i on your inventory
Don't think you can order tumbler from dealer, I could be wrong though. We just got the DME Kit and will post tomorrow for $200.
bimmermerchant ok. I sent an email for a parts inquiry about it on your website. Hopefully you get it before the kit sells haha. I’ve also sent an inquiry about the tumbler to my local bmw dealership.
Will notify you once DME is posted in our website
Sorry for asking this question if it’s already been answered.
I swapped a 330 engine in a 323i I have both complete cars can I just swap over 330 dme, ews and key cylinder or entire steering column and have an successful start or will I have to still flash dme?
different engines, can't be done.
Did it work for u??
Can you put a ms45 in ms43?
can i jus swap the dme from an exact same car inside my 95 e36
can I use a 318i ecu on my 316i se 1.9 petrol
what if you only change the key with the slot and the ews-module ? so without the dme? would it work?
wont work
bimmermerchant i thaught it was reprogrammable so they afterwards can connect the key with the dme?
I am wondering the key remote functions of the donor key such as to lock and unlock the doors and the truck. Also the window functions. I appreciate for your time. Thank you.

+bimmermerchant Is it possible to install a used one on 2007 328I e90???. My DME is damged and I am driving on limp mode.
+Jazzi jef go on eBay there is a guy doing it the wright way. Very cheap.

with the 330 dme the performance become better?

1.The EWS holds VO / VIN / coding data. Also you will never be able to order a key from a dealer if yours stops working or you loose it.
2.Also you will have mileage manipulation dot on the cluster because EWS has different data.
3.Also the DME from another car has different software (not for your car) even when it has the same engine and it will cause problem in the future.
4. Finally, you can get E46 DMEs programmed to your car (EWS, software) on eBay for very little money.
So, what is the point here???
Can't agree more!
Andy G Ok how You gonna get it from ebay reprogrammed, the one they sell on ebay are took off from another different car , make no sense
can you reprogram EWS? or does EWS have to be programed from BMW ?
Mileage will remain the same unless you change the instrument cluster
Its becouse the trotle body M54 is electric M52 is cable
Hi I’ve got a question where can I find en engine cod or number on a e46 2003 saloon and how can I notice the difference between 320. And 325
