Although like another poster mentioned, you might be better off just replacing the MOSFETS as needed and sticking with MSD80

The VIN is in a one time programmable area of the DME that no one has managed to blank out to my knowledge (I did a lot of research after making the initial post). Like you said, it's done for security reasons. It was possible to change the VIN on older DMEs though (I actually have a different DME installed in my e39 right now with a correct VIN and ISN).
Also, this is purely academic for me right now. My DME is currently fine, I wanted to replace it because I'm worried about the MOSFETs dying and leaving me stranded. I do have have a bag of 20 new MOSFETs ready to go though
