BMW M52 engine. (HALL-HALL)
Black mot88 connector lock is slightly different from the natural color M50 (either type can be used with a bit of filing).
The mot88 pinout of M52 is VERY different. So only plug in ECU explicitely made for M52. Do NOT plug in ECU made for any other type (M50 or S50 or other).
See [M50-vanos-vs-s50b32.xls] columns.
Easy to apply, but NOT Plug and play

- follow same install procedure as with standard (Econoseal) v3 (with harness made by someone else) : disconnect ignition coils, injectors and other outputs initially
- before connecting output loads, verify output configuration in VemsTune, eg. the expected output is activated in order (eg. cyl, 153624)
- failing to do so might result in unspecified behavior, damage, and loss of warranty
- eg. misc output configured to inj might flood cylinder and cause hydrolock; ignition transformer ON (for more than the desired dwell time) might burn fuse or trace or IGBT output.
