Question for the 04+ series 3 guys who kept the drive by wire and original pcm. Who programed your pcm?

Thank you. I sent him an email. Praying he can help me. I can't believe how many people say this swap can't be done. I may need a new prescription for my blood pressure before this is over with. Lol

The series III 3800SC swap has been done many times, but mostly using a series II PCM, cable throttle body and a LS1 or LQ1 MAF. The drive by wire swap has also been done but the programming becomes more difficult as the traction control features must be disabled. I prefer the simple approach as I did not want to introduce the slight throttle lag of the accelerator pedal sensor into my swap. If you use the DBW approach and the swap is stock then very little tuning will be required. I can't say that with my setup.
