Worked like a charm to reset throttle adaptations and also regular codes. Easy to use.
Bought to clear out airbag warning and to reset service intervals in the future when I change oil, etc. Works great. Very intuitive interface. Definitely recommend!
The unit i Received had version 6.4 installed. Works fine on my Mini Cooper. Can access all areas and reset Airbag and ABS.

Better than paying diagnostic fees and then labor costs just to reset the light. I spilled a smoothie in my 2007 Mini Cooper and needed to take the seat out to clean the spill thoroughly. Of course, I read online afterwards that we are technically supposed to disconnect the battery first because there are sensors that will think that disconnecting the wiring harness under the seat for the seat belt and airbag sensor will cause a fault in the system (like the wiring shorted out or got a break in it accidentally and it needs attention). In any case, just received this code scanner yesterday and hooked it up to reset my warning light. Plugged it into the OBDII port and selected my vehicle in the configuration. Then I turned the car on so the scanner could communicate with the ECU. There are quite a few things to scroll through so it took me a while to find the restraint system option, but once I found it, it was as easy as 1-2-3 to erase the fault. Once done, I unplugged my scanner and started the vehicle up and voila..no more warning indicator on. This little gem has already paid itself off because I know the dealer would have charged probably double the cost of what this scanner costs here on Amazon. Although it might be difficult to find the right thing to diagnose from the menus, I still give it a 5 star rating because 1) it works and does what it is supposed to do and 2) just like anything else, time and more use with the device will make you become an expert at using it. Great tool for the home mechanic, but like another review said, if you are looking for actual BMW codes, this will not give that to you..I'm no BMW expert or BMW mechanic so I don't need the true fault code. =)

I have used this extensively in my 2002 525it sportswagon. It has never let me down and has pinpointed the problems with great accuracy.
It feels a little sluggish at times but it is well worth the money.
The only thing I have not seen in my model is the capability to reset the steering wheel angle.
Everything else, it has worked like a charm.
I tried more expensive scanners, they were as sluggish (If not more), were more difficult to use, sometimes did not have all the features this one has, and costed a lot more.
I do recommend it, specially if you have an older model Bimmer.

Altho a crude tool it is hard to argue the functions it can provide for a small investment, It has most all bmw chassis designations in the software and is fairly simple to use. I was seeking to reset SRS lights due to a passenger restraint system error on a 2013 bmw X3 F25. It cleared the code easily once I programed to the right vehicle and turned off that annoying fault alarm. With OBD , ABS, SRS functions it is a very usefull tool for simple diagnosis

Used it once to reset my SRS airbag light on my 2006 BMW X3 (E83) after servicing door and forgetting to disconnect battery before I disconnected airbag. Took a little while to navigate through menu options, but once I got the hang of it, use was pretty simple. Even if it breaks tomorrow, which I doubt it will, it still saved me a bunch of money by not having to have the dealer reset the SRS code. I toyed around with it after I reset code I needed and there is a ton of data that it can pull, including real-time diagnostics. Hope it does not come in too handy in the future, but glad I purchased and should have done so a long time ago. Said it would come with software version 8.0, but had the most recent 10.7 installed.
