BMW E91 - Is BMW E91 diversity amp same as BMW E70 amp? - carnut1980

If someone could go on google, they look identical, and both are 868 MHZ.

I need one for my E91, there are none on ebay at present, but there are two for the E70, slightly different part numbers, but then so are many identical E91 units. Any ideas?

Not sure if this has anything to do with your problems

Carnut 1980, I have exactly the same issue! Need a diversity unit for my 320 touring. Any joy with the X5 E70 as an alternative? Many thanks

hi, the e70 amp made no difference ,so i sent it back, tore my hair out a bit, then found a broken wire. in the right hand rubber loom (RHD)

I soldered it back together, problem sorted. I am a happy man

The wire was red ,with a thin yellow line, obviously the main power lead for the remote side of things. The loom itself wasn't even damaged, but someone elsewhere on this forum mentioned it, and i thought it was something i hadn't tried!

I would check the wires within the rubber. Both sides. Failing that, get another amp. The e70 unit mas much cheaper, but it looked identical and fit fine, yet made no difference, as the problem was a severed wire!

hope this helps

Thanks carnut,

It's certainly the amp as the garage confirmed that rather than wiring so my give the e70 one a whirl. Thanks and all the best

If it is the amp, do tell the garage to keep hold of it and give it back to you.

There are buyers on ebay who can refurb them.

I know this is an old post, but for the benefit of others still searching (I was), I can confirm an E70 amp fits an E90 as i tried it today and it works :-)
