Hello all! I purchased a 2008 335i with a missing DME module - everything else *should* be fine. The car was a salvage and the computer was lost/stolen somewhere between the auction and time I purchased it. My question is: Will I be able to buy a key, CAS, and DME to just swap out and have the car running fine, or is there more to it?

Thanks, more questions to follow pending the answer to this one.

how can a used DME be programmed without the original? do you also need the cas and key for the programming? What is the cost? Thanks

yes, cas and key is needed indeed

can be done thru OBD (and on bench of course)

Unfortunately I live in NY, but Im pretty technically inclined, what would be needed to code the used DME? Thanks again man
