Hi,

Has anyone ever fitted an OBC from a 325i to 318is??

As a straight swap what were your findings regarding fuel computer accuracy?

Also there is a code plug that fits in the rear of the obc display unit that is unique to the 325i, 320i and 318is (Note not one available for 318i that i could see). Has anyone swapped this during this retro fit?

Does it need to be coded by BMW or is it a simple pre set plug in item?

Questions over!!

Thanks for you advice.

Gareth

there is a coding plug for the 318is, you'll need that for accurate figures. i can dig out the p/no if reqd

Cheers mate, does this have to be programmed by BMW???

Got the number and its £35+VAT

Erm is it worth it? Yes, No, Yes look at my digital clock, No, Yes, No, No, No YES

Indecisive Gareth!

ive fitted one to my IS but didnt realise you could get a plug fo rit as i though it was only avalible on the 6 cylider cars. as regards fuel and MPG, range gives a reading but i don think its accurate and mpg is stuck on 7.1 mpg constantly.

IMO i would say it would be worth doing it right and now i know theres a plug avalible i'am gonna order 1. it nice to have the hole thing working.

I've fitted an OBC from an 318i to an 325i, and stil have the 318 plug, marked:
