MK60 ABS can be run standalone, and it has wheelspeed outputs (or CAN if you have an actually decent standalone)
Does this apply to all MK60 ABS or just the BMW E46M3 ABS? The MK60 ABS was used in a lot of different vehicles and the units (ECU and hydraulic block) can be found for around $200. Would be great if all MK60 ECUs could be flashed or are there differences between front-wheel, rear-wheel, all-wheel-drive units?

EDIT: did some research and no, you can't use any other MK60 units other than the E46 M3 ones. Two reasons:
1.) The hydraulic block is car specific. VW for example has two diagonal brake circuits (front left and rear right, front right and rear left - so no front rear bias possible!). BMW has front circuit and rear circuit with a brake bias.
2.) All MK60 except the M3 units have a ROM chip whereas the M3 unit got a RAM chip. Can you change from ROM to RAM? Don't know...
