Title: WTB/WTT for DME's to experiment on...
Post by: DesktopDave on December 01, 2011, 04:42:49 PM: If you have a dead/dying/weak DME, please LMK. Shorted is OK, flooded is OK, burned likely isn't.

I'll send a bit of money, advance credit for potential future DME repair, or accept a trade. I have power sunroofs, cruise control bits, trim stuff, etc.

I'm looking to repair my spare 175 DME, needs a coil driver. Make/model is pretty unimportant..anything M42 M44 or even M50 would be great.

I have a fully functioning DME out of a 91' 318i I would gladly unload. I am interested in cruise control (currently driving a 91' 318iS) modification know-how/parts. Let me know.

Post by: DesktopDave on December 09, 2011, 09:24:08 PM: I'm specifically looking for broken ones...I want to see if I can repair the ignition drivers. They're hard to solder correctly and I need the practice.

Our DME's run four of these these odd Bosch-specific darlington IGBTs, haven't found info on them despite hours of digging.
