MK60 DSC Module Identification

While waiting for my engine and ECU to be delivered I thought I would try and confirm if I have a MK60 DSC Module. This would allow me to enable M-Track Mode (CSL style DSC) through INPA when I get the car back together.

Firstly I had to try figure out my modules serial / part number. Unfortunately this is very hard to do with the unit installed but I really didn't want to disassemble it... despite the fact the rest of the car is in pieces... To do this I used and Inspection Mirror and my camera to take a photo of the back of the unit where the identification information is.


As you can see from the picture (although inverted by the mirror), I have a 10.0960-0813.3 unit.

Next I did a bit of research on the MK60 DSC Module. There are a few good threads on the topic:
MK60 DSC Thread
MK60 ABS Standalone Info

So it turns out the 0813.3 unit is the same hardware as the CSL unit but with a different software version. It can be modified or re-flashed with the CSL software, although that shouldn't be required as the standard MK60 software should allow activation of M-Track Mode.

Now once I get everything back together I should be able to follow the below guide and activate M-Track Mode. I am still haven't checked if I have the dash light and/or decided if I will install an LED if I don't so I will follow up on that later.

Mishimoto Cooling Upgrade Order

As the car had done ~94k miles I thought it would be time to refresh the cooling system as part of the build project. It also gave me an opportunity to remove the viscous clutch fan, as I have never liked these. This is similar to my dislike for sleeving engines that aren't low-revving V8's, I have no science to support why I don't like them, I just don't. My main driver here was to upgrade to something better than stock with increased reliability. As with my other parts decisions I also wanted to stick to something that for the most part came as a ready to install kit specifically for the E46 M3. Fortunately (or unfortunately) there was a lot of options to chose from when it came to cooling upgrade for the E46 M3. I compiled a list of some of the options I reviewed / considered: Zionsville Radiator Fluidyne Radiator and Oil Cooler C&R Radiator and Oil Cooler Mishimoto Radiator and Oil Cooler CSF Radiator and Oil Cooler I am sure there is more opti...

///M Clubsport Door Sills Search

Whilst starting the preparation and install for my Karbonius CSL Carbon Fibre Roof I started thinking about the final overall style of the car again. It particularly came to the front of my mind when a friend, who was working with me on the roof install, asked what the deal with the CS badge on the boot was. I realised tat whilst that choice had made sense to me it may not really land with others who are unfamiliar with BMWs and understand the history of the CS badging or the idea of what the Clubsport moniker encapsulates. From previous research and investigations into Clubsport branding from BMW that I could use to keep the style I knew of the somewhat rare E46 330i Clubsport so i thought I should take another look to see if there was anything from that that might help pull the theme together at all. It was at that point that I came across the ///M Clubsport door sills that are used on the  E46 330i Clubsport.  They struck me as perfect to help tie the theme together. They a...
