Foxwell NT510 has good success with BMW

bought Foxwell NT510 scanner... share something with you all..

I have had good success with BMW

So far all BMW’s supported auto vin & autoscan, was able to get a quick easy accurate report of issues.


2006 BMW X3:
Was able to find 2 misfires because of bad plugs.

2009 BMW z4:
Was able to diagnose and find bad HAL sensors stopping the roof from retracting

That product is very similar to my ECS tuning scanner.
Mine is also designed by Foxwell and interface looks similar, but it has "BMW" options too so you can adjust almost everything. Recoding injectors, registering new battery service reset, shadow codes etc.

Sounds good. Battery reg would pay for itself. Do they provide real good documentation manual for turning off or turning on options like Actuating the top while moving etc.
Thnx

I have the ECS version on my E89 Z4, make like so much easier when changing rear breaks as it retracts the rear brakes. Very good for diag also
