DME Plausibility – Engine Inoperable
The BMW DME M1.1 (and similar, 1.2 and 1.3) is an early Bosch Motronic ECU, used on all of the 6 Cylinder BMWs up until 1990, and a few more after that.
M1.1 and M1.3 was used on the M20, M30 and M40 engines, whilst M1.2 was used on the S38 and M70, which are the early E34 M5 engines and the early V12s.

Amplifier 2 in DME Control Unit
The Motronic 1.7 and subfamilies, and the M3 and it’s variants are the next generation of BMW ECUs. The M1.7 was used on the M40, M42 and M70, the M1.7.1 was used solely for the S70, used in the BMW 850CSi. M1.7.2 was used for the M42 and M43 4 Cylinders. The M3.1 is a 6cyl ECU, used on the early M50 24v engines without VANOS. The M3.3 family were used to run the later 3.8 litre S38b38, the S50 3.0 M3, and the M60 V8s. M3.3.1 included VANOS control, and is used on M50 engines with VANOS, introduced to the E34 and E36 in 1992.

Tyre Pressure Front Right
The MSS52 is an M Power ECU designed to run the E39 M5, the Z8 Roadster, and also the Wiesmann Roadsters. The MSS54 is used on the E46 M3 and on some Z3Ms. The system uses an Electronic Throttle to accurately control Air intake instead of the more common Cable throttles used on earlier vehicles

Torque Monitoring
The Bosch DME 7.2, also known as ME7.2, can be found on a number of V8 Petrol engines, used in the 5 and 7 Series amongst others. It uses Torque modeling to control the engine torque output depending on Throttle Pedal Position.
Boost Pressure Control Deviation
This is an Updated version of the previous DDE 2.1, and was introduced in 1995. This system was used on the M51TU engines.
