Interesting! I wonder if the SD's EGR computer uses the same chip as the 83 240D's EGR computer? I know the 83 240D EGR computer uses the same chip as the tach amp in an 83 300D turbo, that's how I was able to install a tach in my 240D (in place of the clock) by taking the tach signal from the EGR computer to drive it.

This system was also used in the 300d's but not implemented until later.
