Well it started my ECU died without any reason.

battery was a bit weak seems ECU works only above 11.5V?

Few things I did before changing ECU.

Cleaning all the contacts blue relay and the main plugs.

All OK

Replaced the spark plugs just in case.

Checked for spark - OK .

Cleaned my injectors - OK

Checked fuel pressure - OK because, the fuel pump and filter is replaced two years ago.

Some pictures:

Like those shots of the dash. Almost identical "under the skin" to later BX, which of course it overlapped with.
XM is the same - ECUs do not like depressed battery voltage.
