But it may only be the wiring to the solenoid and not the solenoid itself. You can use the Bentley and a ohm meter to narrow it down. In my case, the problem was the filament wiring inside the pump. I replaced the wiring (pain to do) and it has been fine since. The only problem with getting a used pump is you might have the same problem again as these pumps are notorious for failing due to the filament wiring cracking from age and exposure to brake fluid. There are some posts on www.bimmerforums.com that archive my experience with this. Look for the E36 DIY sticky, and then E36 ABS Repair. Regards, Matt /Been there on a 1996 328i without ASC. I had the exact same code. Went to two online parts dismantlers, Zionsville for one part, Vines for the other. Around $250 together. Solenoid goes out in the pump and takes control unit with it. $3200 at the dealer. If you just replace the control unit, first application of the ABS takes out new control unit. If you just replace the pump, the control unit output transistors are still bad and it won't clear codes or actuate.
