: Well, sadly, Dinan and BMW in Norwood agree that the sporadic stalling in my 850 (6spd) is due to the DK motors AND EML control unit! About 5 times now since I had my Dinan chip and manifolds installed, the car has stalled immediatly after starting, most of those occurances were warm starts. I looked over the error codes the dealership printed out and found references to each cylinder bank having gone dead once (I thought this was related to the intake manifold leaks) and a couple errors regarding faulty communications between the control unit and some parts with random acronyms I didn't recognize. Though none of these are good signs, I'm not sure they explain the stalling I've been having. Further, they told me that the EML control unit needed replacing because it is related to the DK motors going bad.
: Does this make sense to all you techies? I would be grateful if anybody could explain this to me since I don't know what interdependancy there is between the DK's and the EML control unit.

: thanks,

Andrew,
Once upon a time, BMW was upgrading all the EML units under a warranty item. You may want to check into this.
