perhaps repairing your ecu may be cheaper as i've seen some people selling early ecus for ridculous amounts.
i bought my z4 for £75 about 2 years ago and have seen thenm for sale for upto £100

it depends what is required as from your description it just needs the loose wiring reconnected/soldered.

Could always speak to Scott T (PolarPerformance) as he does use early ecus but he may be a long shot
