Thanks Jim! I will go talk to the BMW dealership about this problem...
hopefully its under warranty. BTW. I had my car go through Inspection I
this past week and they found no faults in the Motronic unit. So, I have
no idea why the "check engine" light occasionally blinks.
Please let me know the status of your project with ELP and if you are
working any chips for supercharged cars with other mods (headers,
exhaust, etc.).
Thanks again,
