hi sifus, am interested in fitting an OBC on my e30.

first thing first, is it even worth the hassle of hunting for it, buying it, then trying to get it to work fully?

second would be, i see the US OBC have different buttons compared to the ones i used to see ppl selling. will the 'malaysia boleh' statement pull off wit this? or its just not the same thing?

third and last, how much should its value be? its getting harder to find one..searched for it but the ones i found are all years back..

kindly advise.

err.. u dont have any OBC on ur ride now? What's ur ride specs. Care to share? and why u want to fit OBC now? Sorry just curious to know.

fyi, as for my ride, I didn't have any.. just a dummy =)

mine's a 1984 320i. i dont have an obc on my ride now. its an analog clock. i just thought the obc looks cool replacing the classic finish clock..

as far that i know of, OBC only can be install on Motronic ECU

Bro, I found something interesting from Uncle Google HERE =) .. Good luck! .. Even 318i can have one! haha

interesting..

btw, the engine has been changed to a 2.7l..i guess its that m20b27. so i guess im back in the game right?

i still havent gotten answer to my question of whether r there any difference among the OBC units that are taken from e30s in different parts of the world?

2.7 still L-Jet kan? mmm but no harm done to try, since tha data was from the meter cluster. (but meter cluster to ECU..mmmmm) try try lah

I guess theres nothing wrong to use your OBC, the diff maybe calculation/calibration between mileage and kilometer jer (logically speaking)
temperature reading either Celsius or Degrees etc

oh ya...forgot its jetronic...not motronic...sorry i just learnt bout this things recently..you got ur point..im not going to try fitting obc until i figure out. they dont come cheap at all...so its not a matter of just trying. a lot of damges involved.
=)
thanks for the input

Maybe he could share some info, wait a minute... the car came with OBC or he bought OBC and install, is it working or just for display? like i said, since it was connect through Meter cluster, it might work.

Some specs not only OBC it also have Auto cruising, reverse sensor, headlamp adjustable, headlamp wiper, LSD differential.. this is a special request/order when you bought your car new.
