I have an E38, 735, I think it was built in May 1998, it definitely has steptronic.

 

I don’t know what you mean by the transmission computer or how I could acquire the information you need.  But if you give me baby steps to follow I’ll do my best!

 

I really don’t know that I should help as you’ll be under the hood, in the blazing heat and sunshine of Arizona while I’ll be freezing my knuts off under the bonnet here in Edinburgh!!!!

 

Just kidding, welcome to the site.

Welcome to the forum. my other half's cousin lives in Arizona somewhere - loves it out there and has a far better job than he did over here (and far better paid).

I appreciate the offer i dont think it would work as 97 production is different then 98+ and since my il was made in 6/07 i have to find a steptronic made between 01/97 and 10/97 inorder to work with my tcm

Maby ive been told i can have mine reprogramed via the dealer but i need all the numbers from the ecu i need. Since the steptronic wasnt sold here US until 99 the computer is different. But if i give the dealer the ecu information for a steptronic computer my right year they can program it.
