Comprehensive MSS54/MSS54HP DME Information

[bmwfnatic]

Pardon my ignorance but ... is there an easy way to determine whether I have MSS54 or MSS54HP such as VIN later than XXXX? Would like to do an MSSMapper tune with a reduced redline (~7k RPM)

Should be manufacturing date after 09/2003.

Should be manufacturing date after 09/2003.

Im right at the cusp i think, do we now when exactly on that month?
My car has 2003-09-04 manufacture date, since its earlier in that month, I'm assuming its a non-hp

Even if the catalog says one thing, if it’s that close it’s not always accurate. Just check with INPA or physically by looking at the sticker on the DME.
