Variant Code Identification and Display
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 136 other vehicles, including the 2008 BMW 760Li, 2008 BMW 650i, 2007 BMW Z4, 2007 BMW X5, and 2007 BMW X3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The variant code for a DME M1. X control module can be displayed in three places.
- Electronically displayed
- Control module Identification page of the DIS or MoDiC diagnosis software.
- Programming software display with MoDiC. In the "adopt code" function, installed variant code is displayed.
- DME control module variant code label.
The control module ID page of the DIS is the quickest method of viewing the installed variant code. Electronic display is also the most accurate (code determination by the label could be a incorrectly written or accidentally placed on the wrong control module.)
Cross reference the BMW and Bosch part numbers in the display with the installed variant code. The correct variant code installed in the wrong control module, or an incorrect variant code installed in the correct control module, will undoubtedly cause control module malfunction.
