E36 328i Touring

Hi
Used to have a 328i manual Touring in Arctic Silver. The car still exists but was SORN in January 26 Id like to buy it back any one who has such a car let me know. Would prefer the OG but would consider an alternative unit.

Replacing an ECU I’ve lost

Morning Zek
Welcome to the Forum
Not done this for a few years but as long as the replacement has the same part number registering to the chassis should work. With an E53 some years back it needed the ECU and EWS to match if you have a donor car you should be OK

Replacing an ECU I’ve lost

Hi, I don’t know if anyone can help me I’ve got a 2016 bmw F20 that I’ve had for years and it blew the engine in 2023. I stripped the engine bay completely like an idiot and only now got a donor engine in, but I’ve misplaced the original ECU from my car having moved house and garage and moving the car out from storage. Can I use the donor ECU in my car without cloning it as I can’t and just reprogram it to my vin as I’ve been told they’re locked to the chassis and been told to give up. If anyone can help me or has any advice on how to get around this would be much appreciated.
Thanks
