JaseNZ 53 Report post Posted April 15, 2009 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark 178 Report post Posted April 15, 2009 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
