I am also trying to find out whether anyone will re-synch the ECU, immobiliser and key once the rolling code has been lost. No luck as yet but the research continues...

Well, 4 years on and it now looks like you can get EWS deleted on an MS42 ECU for the M52TU engines now on ebay!!
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-EWS-3-...item233eacaa13
But it does come with the following warning....
"Please note, for an engine transplant into a different chassis without the same electronic subsystems that the ECU expects, the ecu will run in safe mode and a EWS delete is not enough for such a transplant."
So it may still not be a complete solution to using the dual Vanos M52/M54 engines.
It has also raised a concern that I need an ABS delete for my MS41 ECU to stop it running in 'safe mode'?
Is there anyone on here that is running an MS41 ECU without an ABS delete?
