and motronic embossed in the front.

my question is, is this standard in some cars or is it an uprated ECU? also will it be interchangeable with a bosch?

possibly been chipped or remaped

Motronic ECUs are standard on some E30s. What year and model is your car?

And forgive me for asking, but why are you thinking of replacing it with a Bosch? Does it not work?

The lable on the ECU is unlikely to give any indication of re - chipping by the way. You'd have to open it up and check inside.

i had sold it to someone with a bosch one but im sending a refund as we dont think it will work on his car.

The important thing is the number ending 073, which I think is pre facelift, and possibly a 325?

Anyone out there who wishes to correct me, feel free

isn't bosch the make and motronic the softwere on the ecu . so a motronic ecu would be made by bosch . may be wrong though

Completely correct. Motronic is the 'operating system' if you like.

073 is a '85 - '87 325i ECU, running ML3.3 software.
The Camco sticker probably just signifies that it has been repaired, or sent for testing
