    Default Need new Computer?

    1993 525i / 137k mi / part # 0261200413

    With installation and part, Im looking at about $1,100.

    Lately, my idle has been off and its just running real rough, sporatic stalls, etc,,,, Recently, I've replaced the plugs, fuel filter, O2 sens and fixed a vacuum leak on the intake but it turns out the computer in there now has some moisture in it so its

    Some of you guys seem to pop computers in and out from different years like its no big deal. I dont want to chince on buying a new computer but am I risking anything major by getting one from a fairly low mileage M50 or a compatible one?

    I can drive it for a few days more if need be and Im gonna do a little more research tonight, but I use this car everyday so I gotta take care of it sooner than later.

    Thanks!
