* restriction apply. Void where prohibited.
So I purchased a Bavarian Technic cable for dealing with my recent water pump issues. I bought the pro version of the cable so that I could help out others locally and use it when looking potential cars to buy (my son is looking at E46s).
For those who don't know, the BT cable is made by the same people who make the Durametic cable for Porsche and is basically the same in operation. Basically a OBD2 reader that is very BMW specific, and is able to clear codes and read faults on most newer BMWs. The one BIG exception unfortunately are E90s with the N55 engines (E90 335 models). Supposedly the new F30 cars work as do E90/92 based M3s.
There are two restrictions however:
1. I won't lend the cable out. It's a $700 cable that is very easy to damage/lose. I'm more than happy to help you, however, provided that:
2. You are a Dorki sponsor in good standing - i.e. you sent in a donation in the last 12 mos.
If you need any help, just shoot me a PM.
