You are taking all the necessary safety precautions. (Fully charged battery etc…)
You have DIS working (We used EasyDIS 1.0, Base 44)
You have Ediabas (INPA, NCS Expert, IFH Serve) installed and working.
You’re able to read between the lines of our crappy document, some steps may differ slightly and our wording may be somewhat imprecise.

A step-by-step guide for reprogramming a BMW E36 328i ECU/DME after converting from an automatic to a manual transmission. Covers updating the GM code in the EWS using NCS Expert and DIS tools, reflashing the DME with a manual-spec control unit part number, aligning EWS to DME, and clearing adaptation values. Also includes hardware modifications needed for a Carsoft OBD1 diagnostic cable to enable INPA/Ediabas compatibility.
