====== Description ======
This part was taken from a Motronic M1.7.3 engine control unit (ECU), which was commonly used on 1.6L & 1.8L 4-cylinder BMWs of the mid-E36 generation. While this chip was likely used on a number of ECUs, the specific one in this case had Bosch PN 0 261 203 661.

This chip is believed to be a Hitachi HM6264B 8KB SRAM. It provides XRAM to the 80C515 MCU used in the ECU.

The die seemed to have a polyimide ("Kapton") coating over most of its surface. Attempts to peel it off were unsuccessful, so it was imaged with this intact.
