XSMini  Change ECU
rockrock
hey hello how are you everybody?

I have a question with taste and wisdom of all of you will be able to clarify.
I have a mini cooper r50 2004 that the ECU no longer going well.
the interface plug my mini BMW ICOM A2 + B + C and the ISTA rheingold updated INSPI me the ECU detects a problem and it can not be repaired.
serious question eh seen selling on ebay complete kit ECU-BC1-EWS-key-cylinder engine starter and cylinder door.
here in Dallas TX is a yunk car that sell for $ 350
but I just wanted to buy the ECU- since the ISTA-P software gives you the option to change the ECU. but not if this has already been tested by you who do not have problem with the new donated unit of a mini cooper r50 same model year.
I want to clarify that the ECU would yunk yard of a mini cooper crashed for parts with this exchange only the ECU and the Body Control (BC1)
ISTA-P believe that reprogramming does not need to change the key the key cylinder the door panel and EWS module?
some already you made such changes?

RE: Change ECU
Buy it because the car was covered entirely by water in a flood last year in Texas.
ECU does not enter the water (or so it seemed) I clean all the componenetes auto dry clean them and only had to change.
sensor transmission, body controls (water damage) and the starter.
but I did a test with my ICOM a2.
and rheingold with ispa ECU detects errors that can not be repaired as the electronics of the engine.
I want to clarify that the car runs well.
redline use in engine oil and transmission fluid in cvt.
iridium spark plugs.
no problem with engine and transmission only in the mornings a burning smell gas no black smoke or anything.
but really I have problems with the automatic door opening either with the key or the switch in the center panel of the car.
I have problems with light inside the car.
I have problems with opening the trunk.
I have problems with the upper rear lights only turn on the right (passenger) and change the diode brakes and brake sensor
the brake work well.
I made a mistake when buying the BODY control because it is a 2006 and cooper mine is a 2004 version of hardware and software are different.
so my intention is to put a proper body control for this year with hardware and software version and accurate passing correjir ECU problems with a new (used) and thus solve the problems of my original ECU.
ECU morning I pick the parts and body control that donor car and tell them what was the experience.
I appreciate your comment gives me confidence to do the job
KOZIOL thanks for attention
