The engine electronics are almost self contained. You could run that engine on a test stand with the computer attached and without the car electronics.
Except that the engine electronics are not self-contained, they are integrated to (and communicate with) the transmission electronics, the transfer case electronics, the gauge cluster, the energy management system electronics, and so on. How would you implement iDrive in an E53?
