need ... can anyone help me out?? part # on unit 67.11-1 387 606 - 141 306

If your in auckland i can plug you into my scanner and see what your problem is.

I got version 6.5 off ebay, came with cables and everything. version 1 pro (covers Minis) is worth 1400 pounds, so i went with the cheap option (bmw only) for $140.

That was the issue yeah and yep ... seems to be fixed.

Not a problem .. the software covers the E46

Well .. i found the problem, The trans was in mantaince mode. I plugged the laptop in and reset the transmission. Took it for a spin and the problem was gone, checked it again when i got home and it says that everything is OK. It can't be that easy, but bugger it.. LOL

well i'll be buggered, it actually works!. The software showed me all the errors in the car, even allowed me to reset them and provides live data while the engine is running, plus resetting the service lights. It has a few features i cant use, like programing the buttons on the wheel (i don't have any) and other bits like that. Brilliant. I think i may have even fixed my trans issue with it .. LOL. Now i just need to find another car to plug into and compare the results .. who wants to be my test subject ?? ha ha

LOL .. hmm .. the light has come on a couple of times recently while driving and then gone out again.

LOL ... never mind that ... ha ha .. whats the freakin light mean ??

Has anyone used this software?? I'm looking at buying a copy and want to know if anyone has had any experience with it. http://www.carsoftsales.com/bmw/index.htm

How about this one ?? It's not even listed in the owners manual ..

yeah, but how hard is it to drop a manual in it, who can do it and what would it cost?? as to the 3k, all is was told is that the issue i have is common and that my mechanic's "trans guy" can fix it for 3 grand... personally, i think i can get any work done for a sh*t load less than that. I think the issue is just the age of the trans.

hmm a bit of detail would be very good. Not only on why this issue is happening but on what a manual conversion is going to cost me .. LOL

Heres the problem, When cold the the car rev's to hard and then drops into gear, I've been told that i can either live with the problem or spend $3000 to get it fixed as it is a common problem. Has anyone else had the same issue?? and if so what did it cost to fix?? Hmmm ... manual conversion ??? Thoughts please. Cheers
