Depends what software your existing ECU has apparently. Not quite as straightforward as other E30 engines.

Presumably from the writing on the current 'chip'.
Ant and speedtouch are the 'chip' gurus on here.

not suitable for euro M42 really folks, uses a closed loop version of the code.
remove the ECU lid and protective sleeve off the chip, the number you need is the one on the silver label on the OEM chip itself, they are all 0261 200 175 ECU regardless.
I do the 2 most common, the 3rd is not really worth doing as its emmission control spec.

What's the difference between the US and Euro ecu?
