Well go for a Z4 or 6K ecu and a td05 (about £250ish perhaps) as far as i know you shouldn't have any problems but don't know if the engines are different in wagons to saloons.

Put your dream back togther again?

im not sure that the z4 ecu and td04 mix is a good idea. the mixture will be wrong. asking for trouble. get a td05. there not that epensive. £100-£200 lst time i looked.
