Recently I have been sent this BMW scanner to check out and I've found that it is far more capable that I was even expecting. Not only can you scan BMW specific codes, you can scan the individual modules on any BMW, MINI or even Rolls-Royce cars. Some of those modules include the Engine, ABS, Transmission, SAS, SRS, TPMS etc), test your old and EVEN register your new battery, reset adaptation, perform special DME engine functions such as injector compensation coding, reset your fuel pump and much much more. If you work on your own car as much as I do, this is a great tool to have in your toolbox!

Just received my BM700 scanner for my 2009 e89 and decided to give it a try. I know your demo was on your 5 series and the ecu is a little more sophisticated than my e89 but have you tried the I/M function on your e89? The one thing I couldn't bring up is the I/M readiness menu. It's not shown on the screen like in your demo (3 ecu choices) and it doesn't show up on the display by simply pressing the I/M function button, Am I missing something? or are the I/M readiness faults (if any) stored in just the one ecu menu? In your battery registration BM700 video (while scanning your e89) I noticed at the 3:24 mark there is an option to clear all fault codes would that be a viable option? or should the faults be cleared one at a time?

@SimpleCarGuy 2 жыл бұрын

Make sure your car is in accessory mode when checking I/M, other than that it should work. As far as clearing codes, I normally clear all codes when I start working on a car or project, then go on a test drive and see what comes back. Then I take it one at a time and erase one module at a time as I fix the issues. Thanks for watching!

Hi, thanks for the video, I'm new to looking at these scanners & really want an affordable one for my BMW, but my wife also has an Audi. Do I need two scanners for both cars? I really like the new battery register function, would this work on the Audi as well or not?

@SimpleCarGuy 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Steve! This is a BMW specific scanner. It is a bi-directional scanner (meaning it can write to modules, like registering a battery, programming injectors etc.). These functions will only be available for BMW (Mini and RR) cars. The regular OBD2 scanning will work on any car, including the Audi, but you will not see internal codes or be able to do any of the bi-directional functions. It will act as a standard OBD2 scanner (that can be found for $20) on all cars that aren't BMWs. So, your options are to get this one for BMWs and find an equivalent for the Audi OR get a multi car scanner that can do both (and many others), but those start at around $400. I'm in the process of reviewing one of these and will have a video out in a week or so: amzn.to/2VYJrI9

@@andyb4417 I would go with the BM700. The difference is that BM700 can actually do bi-directional communication on many items. Anything from injector coding to throttle adaption etc. However, if you are just looking to check the module and see what the actual codes are and reset those, both will work just fine.

New subscriber here a couple of days ago i was in the market for a great scan tool for my e60 and i found ur creator c501 video and u convinced me to buy that one Lol now i want this one which one is better? Also will can this one code a new key fob?

@SimpleCarGuy 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the sub! I would say this one is a little better because it has the special functions the c501 doesn't. This can program injectors, idle, register batteries, etc. It cannot program keys, no.

So do you feel this will superceded all your previous scanners?

Yes, it does everything my Autel AP200, creator c501 did, but much much faster.

hey man can you please help me on my e70 im driving today park it and then started to go home i got a EDC code any simple idea? thank you

I believe that has to do with the adjustable suspension, but other than that it would be very difficult to tell without a specific code.

@@SimpleCarGuy I'm sorry for the bad English, I'm Portuguese ... I already bought and used it, my opinion: It is very complete and works perfectly. The only problem I found is that if you press the initial item OBDII - it cannot establish a connection - which forces me to enter the item "for bmw". I wonder why??? But good news, no errors in my z4 e89 2010 model 23i with 54000km is immaculate , the battery is still original,is not very good... I can add that it also works on my other mini r56 cooper s 184hp car My best regards FA

@@jfjajfja8676 That is very strange that it would no establish connection for OBD2. I haven't had that issue on Mini R56, E89 Z4 or F10 550i. I'm glad the rest works and thanks for watching!

Quick question does this scanner read codes regarding timing chain failure

@SimpleCarGuy 2 жыл бұрын

There aren't any codes that will tell you exactly that timing chain has failed, but yes, it will show you codes for all modules including engine ones reporting timing information.
