Any recommendations?, I've bought a e32 735i for a e30 engine swap and wondered what ecu upgrades I could do?. Or are there better mods to carry out?

Cheers guys :D

M30B35 Wild, suitable for 179 ECU code, +12bhp, raised rev limit (7,000rpm). Brings the M30 alive with stonking grunt!

As recommended by several Zoners, please see my Feedback in this ad http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... 72&start=0

Simply look at the label on the ECU (which will be under a plastic lid on the driver's side of the engine bay near the bulkhead on an E32 735i). It should be 0 261 200 179 on one of that age. There is just the Wild chip for the M30B35. If you'd like one, my Paypal address is mtjhunt@yahoo.com

Cheers,

0-60 should be around 6 seconds or less and a top speed of over 150mph with a healthy M30B35 and manual box in an E30.
