Could anyone please confirm how to connect my BMW (57 plate - LCI) to my Laptop?
I've done a bit of research and apparently you can connect using the OBD port but i can't seem to find it. Apparently it should be on the driver's side by the right kneww but i've only got a storage compartment in mine. Any help is appreciated, picture would be nice.
Thanks

I have LHD so I am not sure if it is different but it is on the driver side above or under the "Open Trunk" button.
Here is a pic from an E90, mine is in a similar spot but over the trunk button:

you can actually use a OBD2 bluetooth or usb adaptor and do this from your iphone or android phone (torque application on android now supports USB in addition to bluetooth)
