Link BMWLink ECU - BMW E36 (M50TUB25)
Break free of the limitations built into the factory engine management with the Link G4X BMWLink ECU. This plug in unit is purpose built for the BMW E36 fitted with the M50TUB25 engine, giving you full standalone tuning control while keeping the factory look and wiring intact.
This listing covers the BMW E36 equipped with the M50TUB25 engine only, SKU 201-4000. The Link PCB is designed to sit inside the original factory ECU enclosure, so there's no need to cut or modify the factory wiring loom during installation.
Note: The M50TUB25 left the factory with a Bosch ECU. This Link E36X is a direct replacement for that factory Bosch unit and is specific to the M50TUB25 engine only — it is not a fit for other E36 engine variants.
