Driftit 2079 Report post Posted May 7, 2021 Anything from Bimmergeeks. Their stuff just works. You can use their software (extra cost) or they have some guides on how to use their gear with ISTA and INPA which can be found for free. They take a bit to learn whilst the bimmergeeks software is easy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NZ00Z3 187 Report post Posted May 10, 2021 BMW Standard Tools on the E46Fanatics forum works well. It is INPA plus the other software tools needed for module changes etc. https://www.e46fanatics.com/threads/how-to-install-bmw-standard-tools.1274003/ I also have a Foxwell NT530 scanner with BMW software. It's not too bad for a hand held scanner. Works in both OBD2 and BMW modes. Plus it has a data logger. I use it in OBD2 mode for general engine issues like rich/lean running problems, as the OBD2 fuel trim information is easier to understand. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
