The problem at hand pertains to the misalignment between the DME (Digital Motor Electronics) and EWS (Electronic Immobilizer System).

Apologies for initiating another discussion. I have extensively searched through the forum in an attempt to locate relevant information that may assist me. However, as a last recourse, I am submitting this plea for assistance.


The user's text is not provided.

I have just completed an engine replacement on a 1996 BMW 316i, whereby I have successfully installed a 2.8-liter M52 engine sourced from a 1995 model.

The DME (Digital Motor Electronics) unit has been sourced from the 328i model. The EWS (Electronic Immobilizer System), keys, and the other wiring harness have undergone minimal modifications, with the majority of the components remaining unaltered from the 316i model.

I purchased a data head from an online marketplace, namely eBay, in order to assist me in my endeavors. With this device, I am capable of extracting information from both the Digital Motor Electronics (DME) and the Electronic Drive-Away Protection (EWS) systems. Additionally, I possess the capability to reset error codes and activate the fuel pump, among other functionalities. I am of the opinion that I am "plugged in." The EWS-DME alignment component of the package was used; however, the system fails to begin and instead displays an error message indicating an invalid password for the EWS in the DME error memory. Additionally, I attempted to manually establish the ISN number by extracting it from the DME coding page and transferring it to the EWS. However, my efforts were unsuccessful.

Printouts of information:

The information on the Early Warning System (EWS) will be discussed in this academic context.

The user's request pertains to information on Durable Medical Equipment (DME).


The Durable Medical Equipment (DME) coding screen is a tool used in the healthcare industry to assign appropriate codes to DME items and services for billing and reimbursement purposes.


Lastly, the EWS error is seen.


I have encountered a significant obstacle in my progress, since I am uncertain if I have made an error or whether there is an incompatibility issue between the EWS and DME systems. Alternatively, it is plausible that the DME itself is defective.

Based on my observations, it can be concluded that the Electronic Wiring System (EWS) and the other components of the car's electrical system are in proper working condition, since I have personally seen the vehicle in operation. The examination of the DME and engine loom presents a distinct issue, since there has been no observation of the engine in operation.

Assistance would be much appreciated.

Thank you for the advice. I examined the available alternatives for aligning the EWS/DME components, attempting each one, but unfortunately, none of them were successful.

Upon reflection, it is possible that I have caused harm to the Electronic Warfare System (EWS) during the process of dismantling the vehicle. Specifically, I connected a battery charger to provide electricity to the car while the engine was removed. I had a little incident when the charger was inadvertently set to a voltage of 24 volts.

I came across a digital motor electronics (DME), electronic wastegate system (EWS), and key bundle for a 328i coupe on eBay. It is my hope that this purchase would help alleviate any potential difficulties.

Apologies if I misinterpreted your first statement, but it seems that you possess knowledge pertaining to the electronic warfare system (EWS), loom, key, and other components associated with the 318.
Is it not the case that the loom, electronic control unit, and other related components are derived from the 328 model?
I apologize if my previous response did not align with your intended meaning. I have made the necessary adjustments to address your concerns.

The problem has been resolved.

Understood. To clarify my previous statement:

The subject of discussion is to the DME (Digital Motor Electronics) system of the BMW 328i model. Specifically, the focus is on the engine loom of the aforementioned vehicle.
The subject of discussion pertains to the car model "316i" and its associated components, namely the "Car loon" and "Ews/key" systems.

I purchased a set of coordinated automotive components, including a DME (Digital Motor Electronics), EWS (Electronic Immobilizer System), key, transponder, and antenna, from an online marketplace known as eBay.

After doing extensive testing, it was determined that the DME product initially purchased was proven to be defective.

Currently, I own a functioning automobile.

The subject of discussion pertains to the engine loom of the 328i.
The vehicle in question is a car with the model designation 316i. The car's electronic control units include the Digital Motor Electronics (DME), Electronic Drive-Away Protection (EWS), and the key used for authentication and access control. Additionally, there is mention of a 328sport variant, which may have additional features


I now own an additional set of components, namely a tested and functional EWS (Electronic Drive-Away Protection)/Key/transponder/antenna unit, which has been aligned with a modern DME (Digital Motor Electronics) system.

I have purchased the following items: a BMW Diagnostic Software Cable lead Ediabas Inpa DIS SSS from eBay, as well as a BMW 20PIN MALE TO 16PIN Auto Car Diagnostic Tool Cable, also from eBay.

However, it should be noted that those with proficiency in computer skills may encounter significant challenges during the setup process of this program.

I am now experiencing difficulties with starting a 1996 328 convertible. Despite successfully cranking the vehicle, it fails to start. I am in urgent need of assistance. In my attempt to resolve the issue, I have replaced a faulty DME unit with a replacement sourced from eBay. Additionally, I have bypassed the EWS system. As a result, fuel is being supplied to the engine, but there is a lack of spark.
