Looking at putting a 16 valve motor into my M40 engined 318i. Also looking at chipping it. Is it possible in this case to use the m40 loom and ECU or am I going to have to source these items as well?
Thanks,
Craig

The M42 ECU is unique to the M42, you can't use the M40 one.

Thanks Magpie, I'm in Australia, how much do you want for them and what would it cost to mail them?
