I just took another look at your post Steve and yes you're right the E36 318is in the later years had that valve (which apparently changes the size of the intake to allow more air in), which means the E30 ecus might not work or might not work well.

These look like they would work. However, they probably have the donor car's EWS system in them, and Jim will have to purchase a separate performance chip with EWS delete to go with them :

I believe most performance chips being sold do not have the EWS system in it, if not it would cost way too much for the buyer to go back to the dealer and recode etc etc. That being said, Jim you should check on all of these directly with the seller.
