Use a different power tailgate lift control module for E70?

Hi, everyone--


We had some heavy rains recently and water leaked into the right side of the trunk, where the fuse box is and the power tailgate lift control module is.
It flooded to the brim and shorted out the tailgate control module such that it no longer works. The water did not get high enough to spill into the center compartment where the battery is, thankfully.


The cause of the leak is shown in this YouTube video (not mine--I want to thank this guy for nailing the cause and describing what to look for):

Anyway, I have been looking online at used tailgate control modules, and the ones for the E70 are quite a lot more expensive than the ones for other BMWs.


The one for the E70 has this Bosch part number on it: F005V01255.


The one for, say, the 2011 X3 has this Bosch part number on it: F005V01253. It costs on average 25% of the part above.


Both units appear to have the same connectors.


I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck using the F005V01253 module as a replacement for the F005V01255 and whether any reprogramming was necessary. I can probably do some programming using INPA, as I have that working well enough that I can register batteries using the USB to KCAN cable.


Thanks in advance!!!

If they were interchangeable, why would BMW/Bosch make two?


Sorry I cant answer the question...

Well, my hope is that the one for the 2011 X3 is just a newer version of the one for the 2008 X5 or that they have the exact same hardware and just minor programming differences.


(For the latter, to capitalize on it, I'd need to know how to re-program it, which might be as simple as programming the max and min height that the tailgate could be lifted.)

Speaking of there being two part numbers (one newer than the other) for the same part, I just noticed that the actual sticker on my module has Bosch part number F005V00811.


Functionally, F005V00811 should be the exact same as F005V01255. (In other words, they should be drop-in replacements for each other.)


I'll go shop for the older part number and see if I can find some low-cost units.

Here is the BMW part number succession.


https://bimmercat.com/bmw/en/parts/i...ft/61357207576


I am supposed to be looking for BMW p/n 61357230669 (made in 2014). Bosch part number appears to be F005V00833 from used part photos.


The price is still ridiculous ($200) compared with the X3 equivalent ($50 or $60).

It gets even crazier. If I type in my VIN, I get a different BMW part number succession.
