Looking at getting a Dinan tune from a fellow bimmerpost member for my 2013 335XI. Before pulling the trigger, I need to know whether my wastegate is mechanical or electronic. I looked at Dinan's site and tried to use their pictures as a reference but couldn't figure out where the wastegate is located in my engine. I took some pictures of the engine bay just in case they help identify it. Can someone guide me however where exactly I should be looking? Anyone have a picture (from further away) that shows it?

This is what the PWG looks like. It's on the passenger size of the car.

Here's the EWG, top-left-center

Thanks guys! I'll take a look in the day tomorrow (when there's light out). Just to confirm though, this should be totally visible with the hood open and looking at the engine bay from the front of the car (at the passenger side, by the sounds of it)? -- not from underneath the car or anything?

I looked at Dinan's pictures before posting and tried to identify parts in their pics against my engine, but I couldn't tie anything together -- that's why I asked for a picture from further away

Production date could help as well - I remember it to be pre-July 2013 production cars being PWG, maybe someone else could confirm with certainty.

If it's a 2013, odds are its a PWG. My car was a July 13 build and PWG.

Mine is a 2013, with a 2012 build date (08/2012, I believe), so I'm 99% sure it's PWG -- but wanted to be sure with a physical inspection before I drop the $ only to find out it isn't compatible.

Here's a pic of mine - looks like Trcb777's, so PWG?
