[QUOTE="gwumpkus, post: 59010, member: 493"] on board computer: OBD-II i believe.. conrtols engine functions as well as a plethora of electronic devices... assicsts modic diagnostics, when the car goes wrong. read: when u send it in, mechanic plugs in the diagnostic handheld computer hich scans the OBD for errors, and other discrepancies. onviously, the E36 version and E46 versions are different..differnt engines to start with... for the 4-cylkinders, the E36 has a few different engines: the early M-40 (timing belt version; 8 valves) carried over from the E30...then later the M43(16 valves)...theres an M44 i believe used in the 318iS if i' m not wrong. early E46 used the M43, then there was a "technical upgrade" version M43-TU.. i think with VANOS (like "vtec"..variable valve timings of sorts..) ...hope this is useful..and understandble..:) cheers!
