anyone know if i can i use the 0261203277 ecu on an M1.7.3(M43B18) engine ? both are for for 318i

I just got myself a cheap car becouse the former owner swapped engine and was unable to get the new engine started in this car.
(im*obilizer problems)

he gave me 2 ecu`s, and i found an im*o off file for the 0261203277 ecu, so i hope i can still use this ecu on the M1.7.3(M43B18) engine


0261203661 = M1.7.3 - engine M43B18
0261203277 = M1.7.2 - engine M42B18

If anyone knows anything about this please let me know :)

Regards.

It did endeed work, today i drove the car home without the ews-II box :) needless to say: the former owner was not very happy when he saw it becouse everyone he had talked with told him it was impossible.
