01 View BMW DiagramSee this part on the official exploded view→This is a genuine BMW basic control unit DME (exchange unit), part number 12 14 1 438 878. The number stamped on the part is 12141438878; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 1438878. BMW's catalog calls it “EXCH Basic control unit DME”. You will find it on our Electrical shelf, under Other Engine Electrical System parts. It supersedes the older number 1438877, so a part carrying that number is the same part.
It fits the E36 sedan, coupe, convertible and compact (318i and 318ti, 1992–1999), with the M44 engine.
BMW draws it on 4 diagrams, among them Basic control unit DME (12_1994) and Basic control unit DME (12_1996). It weighs about 533 g (1.2 lb).
We have not had one on the shelf yet. Request it and we will tell you when one comes off a car.
