Need an ECU for a 530d e60. Where can I buy? ( not a dealer)

[lund3486]

My ecu is broke in my 530d 2004. I took it to my local BMW dealer and they said it had been letting water in, coroded and then shorted out. A price for a knew one is £1400 +. Is there any where else that sells them cheaper!

Ridiculous, ask your dealer to request BMW UK for a goodwill gesture. Why was it letting water in?

Try one of the breakers on Ebay?

My guess is because the tuner didn't seal the ecu box back up properly after the remap??

I would take it back to them and tell them to cover the costs!

the problem you will have with a second hand one is its chassis embeded and is unlikely to talk to CAS the immobiliser.BMW programming will reject ecu

it maybe possible through someone with autologic

Oh, that's if there is a remap?

Celtic tuning did the map.
