Thanks M3nace, I just did this today. I thought there has to be something else holding the module up there. But there isnt. Its a small metal tab that keeps you from pulling it forward, once you clear that, it just basically falls out. Thanks !

for anyone struggling with getting it out the key is to push back while tilting it down, then pull it out. It won’t tilt down if you’re pulling it.

I pulled so hard I yanked the mount off the chassis tabs and had to go through the blower motor area to pull the entire thing out before getting the computer off the sliders... Hopefully understanding how it works will help others. Down first, then out.

ok so ive literally been binging the series. my ecu has a dinan tune on it, i still don't know but I'd assume stage 1. it has that warning label on it that says to call dinan before an EPROM update, idk if this will mess with the tune at all. but still i would rather not have an unknown tune on it, i wanna get an RK tune that's custom for what's done to my car. do you think the RK tune will overwrite my dinan or should i just get a new ecu

M3NACE I have a 1998 E36 M3 that just did manual transmission swap. Removed the chip as per your video. Removed the transmission bulb from instrument cluster also as per your video. I did not flash DME as I did not have any engine light on. Why do you think I did not see engine light on. So far it’s not displaying any code. Car seems totally OEM look and feel. I tried to reflash of DME but so far I was unsuccessful as tried it using GT1 software off laptop. I’m just wondering why I need to do this reflash as Car idles normally, appears to drive normally and I have No Engine light on. It’s OBD2 car and can’t figure out why I’m not getting any faults. This swap just was completed so it may still throw a code just hasn’t so far any suggestions or thoughts. Would you still try to reflash DME if you were me. Thanks for all your info, so great can’t thank you enough, made things so much more clear. Good work ! Steve
@M3NACE

yeah so it will run and drive fine. you do not need to reflash for it to drive properly. you will need to reflash to get the check engine light off. OBD2 cars require a code to be thrown twice in sequence for it to trigger a check engine light. the first time you start it, it will not throw the check engine light. that is because it has thrown a code for the auto trans, but it has only thrown the code once. the next time you start the car, it will throw the same fault code again again, and then it will trigger the check engine light. the reflash is only to get rid of the check engine light, nothing else. your car will run and drive normally. I have yet to make a video on how I reflash my car, because i have yet to do it. I have been driving it for 5 months with the light on and the car runs fine. lol. my car wont pass california smog with a check engine light on, so i need to get it reflashed at some point. also, if your car throws a real check engine light, for o2 sensors, maf, misfire, whatever, you wont know because the check engine light is already on.
