ECU Removal?

Brendon · 11-30-2023, 10:09 PM

Curious if anyone is familiar with the steps neccessary to remove the ECU in the G07? Both forum and google searching didn't turn up much. I did find some stuff for the previous generation X5, where it is located directly below the HVAC air intake, but am curious if anyone here can say definitively where it is located.

I am not finding it either but I am sure someone on here will point it out. Maybe it is a secret

Thanks, you're my hero. Any chance you have torque specs handy for the tension strut bolts when I got to install it?

Also, curious which service manual you are using?
