Time, MPH, MPG computer

[rmgeis]

I ruined this computer a year or so ago by hooking a battery charger up in reverse. The screen reads "PPP" now. Anyone know what part number I need, where it is, etc.? Looked on EBAY and found only engine controls and cruise controls.

I also found that the through hull fitting (don't know what else to call it, I'm a sailor) for the antenna has disintegrated. Anyone else have this problem? I found this one on EBAY:

Thanks in advance

Depending on which year you have, you'll want either 1 or 3:



01 UNCODED CLOCK/ON BORD COMPUTER 1 04/1999 62138377996 $193.09
Important: on-board computer must be
coded within 36 hours of installation

You should be able to find a good used one from any BMW/import salvage yard. I've had good service from Bavarian Autosalvage. Once installed you'll need to have it sync'ed with the rest of the control system.

That ebay link looks a little expensive, but that is the correct part

Thanks for the help. Will keep an eye out for the clock/computer now I have the part number. Bavarian Autosalvage has it for over $100, I'll give ebay a couple months to come up with a less expensive one.

I see what you mean about the antenna grommet, Atlanta BMW website has it for $2.52, I'll get that at the local dealer.

You'll need it to be dealer coded if you fried your coding plug as well. Good places for discount mail ordering: www.bmwpartstore.com and www.bwpartzdirect.com.
