The BMW E36 has long been celebrated for its balance, handling, and versatility—whether at the autocross, road course, or drift track. Now, the E36 gains a massive upgrade in tuning potential with the release of the MS3Pro Plug and Play ECU. Designed for both earlier and later E36 models, this standalone solution delivers modern engine management power with effortless installation.
Why Choose the MS3Pro PNP ECU?
The MS3Pro PNP combines plug-and-play simplicity with the full capability of a motorsport-grade standalone ECU:
-
Boost-Ready: Built-in 4-bar MAP sensor, boost control, and anti-lag support.
-
High-Rev NA Performance: 16×16 fuel and ignition maps, VANOS control, and sequential injector control with individual trims.
-
CAN Bus Expansion: Add digital dashes, data loggers, and auxiliary I/O modules.
-
Advanced Tuning Features: Launch control, rev limiting, traction control, idle control, wideband O2 support, table switching, and more.
Whether turbocharged, supercharged, or naturally aspirated, the MS3Pro PNP delivers the flexibility to support any build.

Connect a vacuum line to the built-in MAP sensor port.
