Now, this is a new step in my project, with the genuine engine.
The only bad point is that the motronic wasn't saved. Just hope my car still have the correct one, or i will need a good motronic to make a copy of the chip. I don't have Alpina sticker on my box, but there is some kind of dirt, like a sticker was gone some times ago.

My B9/1 Motronic unit also does not have any labels on the case but you can see where it was affixed at one point. With mine being brought into the US, I was worried that the motronic may have been switched. I contacted Alpina and was routed back to the US parts distributor and they basically wanted to tell me about the availibility and prices of new units. So I opened the unit that I have to see what is on the chip and it is marked as Alpina. I sent the pics to Alpina for possible verification and was told that they can no longer accept my core to be reconditioned and must now purchase a new one because I have opened the unit. They did not seem to understand that I do not want to buy a new unit.

So, I remembered looking at your site and thought that I remembered seeing your motronic and searched back to see if I could see your case size and markings but did not see enought to help. Your site was great and I really enjoyed it but I am still trying to figure what the base motronic that Alpina used was. Is it the 060 or 061 motronic, or something else?

These are pics of mine and my chassis build date was 05/85.

B9projectcar, I have a few questions about your new motor. Does it have the ICV (Idle control valve)? Mine comes off the left side of the intake boot and goes towards the back of the motor. What is the red decal to the right or front of the valve cover? Mine has 2 seperate exhaust manifolds in place of the type on yours. Is this because yours came from a RH drive car? The Fuel Pressure regulator does not look like the stock BMW part; was this an ower added piece or an Alpina part?

I found an 011 Motronic on ebay (# 270032329689 ) and it looks like the type that had the replaceable chip. I thought the ones with the non removable chip were in a different case. I do not know for sure because we do not see many of these DME units here in the states.

Thanks,
Todd

Congrats! Now get it in the proper home.

When you get a few minutes, can you send me a picture of the intake. I would like to see a better picture like the one you have with the intake sitting on the floor from the valve cover side.

Thanks and good luck, Todd

Actually a closer shot like this one. I want to see a better shot of the hoses that come off the throttle body to AFM boot. I am trying to see if mine has been Americanized or what it should be like.

Thanks, Todd
