I would advise you to send it to someone who specializes in BMW DMEs. I pinged my group to see if someone is close to you that can assist by putting it on a bench.

What happens to the programming results that you posted was that for a different code? Just as I said previously the internal failure was a concern. Personally I would replace it and for that you need AutoHex and ISTA which is only cost efficient to people who does work all the time on modules

I’m looking at this website specifically. Looks affordable and they reference my car. Unless you know of a better option
.https://the-ecu-pro.com/garage/servi...mevd17-2-6-cas
they want the dme, cas and a key to test

Just be prepared to pay that $1499 cost. Most DMEs can't be repaired due to the nature of the failure. Since they are doing it by bench and programming everything he would need those things to do the programming portion of replacement is needed. Personally I wouldn't waist my time with testing. I would purchase another DME then send it in for cloning service you'd come out cheaper if replacement was needed. The sad part is the DME is a discontinued part so your only choice is used which would possibly have you in the same predicament later on.

That’s interesting advice. Thank you I’ll look into it. I may do a hybrid of testing my original to verify that’s the issue and cloning a replacement. The other codes I get relate to my park distance control .I have a few cas faults referencing terminal 15 and 30f limits . I can clear those but not the dme fault. Which seems to be related to power to my valvetronic motor

hey u all I would highly recommend a Obd 11 u can buy for about 40 bucks and then you can download Bimmer link and Bimmer code and it’s awesome cause it’s pulls up r codes and u can programmers all new info for r model and also register the battery if u every get a new one, I think they charge you 175 but what I just told you it all free except I think Bimmer link was 40 and Bimmer code was approximately 40 but u can take it with you or use it for other bmw save me so much and installed so many kool upgrades it the shit obd link CX and have better ones but my poor ass got that so under 100 bucks u also can download a flash for performance just takes money Brian Keeies motor sports out of New York on u tube is the man! Good thing r not cheap and cheap things r not good lol I’m poor ass dude so I check him out just can’t afford anything I like lol good luck peace
