My Ride: 520i
Default Scan/diagnostic tool help !!

Good day ppl,I would greately appreciate your help in the decision on purchasing a scan/diagnostic tool, before I get bashed,I have red most of the topics and have an issue,firstly I live in the Caribbean an own a 2008 E60 Lci M package right hand drive from bmw,my car is a 520i petrol with the n46b20b engine, most of the places I have searched support 525i and up . Iwould like a unit to read codes,clear them,clear check lights, do some coding and allow data streaming with anything extra. I'm a do it yourself kinda guy who don't believe in getting ripped off by the dealer. Thanks for your help.

See if this works for your car:
BMWhat App Android | iViNi-Apps

This is pretty simple. Believe me, the stuff link INPA and NCS Expert and the rest are very hard to set up and use.

thanks I'm looking into it, I forgot to mention I also have an audi and mercedes, so a scanner which would work on all would be useful.

The scanner from BMWhat on Amazon.com says BMW and MERCEDES on it

But u might need a MB app

But BMWhat is awesome, I bought it and coded the digital speedometer, no seat belt chime, unlock doors with key is removed, and some others I am forgetting. I also read and cleared the fault codes. So far so good. That's on my '08 535i N54.
