obc question.

Recommended Posts

Currently my 323i m-spec has the 11 button obc, well its not really an obc its a mid. Question, is it possible to swap in the 18 button obc or would there be to much work involved in doing such a thing. I would have thought (well was hoping) the modules would be the same except one has the feature of fuel mileage etc.

It requires modification of the wiring harness and some other things. Google "18 button OBC conversion", there's a few DIY's about the place.

As Mark said, new wiring harness and sensors are required to do this. Not an easy job.
