2007 BMW 335XI - ECU Question
Hey, quick Q for the modern-ish Beemer guys
My friend is trying to get her 2007 BMW 335XI running. A previous "mechanic" really screwed the car up, stole her ECU and other stuff, then absconded. She bought a used ECU thinking it could be reprogrammed but her current mechanic says that is not possible, the car needs either the original ECU or a new one programmed by the dealer - and that is a $2,000 item for a car worth maybe $4000 so . . .
Does this make sense?
