I've done it, no problems. however, if you do it, you'll either be too lean on one end or the other. I suggest lean on the low RPM range, and richer up top.

Ideally, you should run a piggyback to tune it correctly. I believe there is one narrow year range of M30 engines that used motronic 1.0, but the AFM still used a 6-pin connector, so you would need to swap the internals for this to work.

as for tuning, you can initially just play wiht the toothed wheel inside the AFM to adjust the spring tension and you should be able to get it to idle and respond ideally. (blip throttle a bit and see how engine responds). ideally you want it to blip up without any hesitation, and then return to a solid idle.



but back to your issues with bogging... you may want to just adjust the spring tension in your current AFM to see if that helps out at all. springs weaken over time, might want to just tighten it a notch or so. try that first...
