CL55 ECU Swap

Can anybody on here tell me if it is even possible or just a bad idea to install a ECU from another CL55 that has been upgraded ?

ECUs are VIN-locked. It will have to be married to your car and that will over-write the file on the car.

55 files are cheap and you can switch back and forth rom stock over OBD with a Block Tuner ... why shop for another ECU?

Ok, Thanks... I just had a guy that was parting out a CL55 with with a upgraded tune and was wanting to just sell it. I was told I could just install it and remove mine.
