I just picked up my used e38 off eBay for 85.00 shipped. You have to find the one that has the correct service number for your application. Be careful of new ones that don't have any programming in them. You will have to take a new one to chevy to have the programmed. You give them a vin and they program it, for a fee of course. Some dealers act all crazy about it like your trying to steal a car or something. So my understanding is that the best thing to do is get a used one with the correct service number, then buy the access from HPTuners for that VIN. Then download the correct program for your application and write it to the ECM. The VIN won't match your VIN, but that won't matter. At least that is the way I understand stand it.
