I know I had them at one time, but my computer crashed and I lost all the data.

Here's something to look at: http://www.e38.org/e32/bmw%20code%20defaut.pdf

I believe that's an OBDII code. What code reader are you using? For example, Peake Research says their reader is for US market cars and you may have to experiment to find the correct table.

Fourth page, upper right hand corner: http://www.peakeresearch.com/manuals/FCX3-manual%201.0%20NA.pdf

I had an '89 318is when I lived in Italy and I used a Snap-On MT2500 to read codes.
