Hello All,

So I am once again an owner of a BMW, after a few years off. I had an 07 335i, and I used the Bavarian Technic cable for service interval reset, battery reset, shadow codes etc. BUT they do not support the M235, so what is everyone using now?

Oooooor, am I just not in the know anymore? How are the previoysky mentioned items handled?

Thanks

I have the Schwaben version sold by ECS Tuning. Many use the icarly app with good success.

I had the Bavarian Technic cable as well.

Check out both but I would say most have the icarly because it allows coding and connects to your phone.
.
I have not been disappointed with the Foxwell. For instance, I just connected it the other day and checked to see how long it takes for the transmission oil (AT) to reach 30C and then Hit 40C which is of great interest when changing the AT fluid / filter. I will do this at 50k. It also allows for AT adaptations & oil rebalancing if you have a repair like solenoid valves on the ZF.

i have the bavarian technic cable from my older bmw cars.

It works with the 2 series just fine. It doesnt say its supported, but you can use it to reset condition based services, brake pads, oil changes etc... and to clear codes.

I contacted Bavarian Technic & they said they hope to have support for the 2 series by the end of the year. But ill hold off till they have full support. Ill look into the Schwaben option & icarly option for now. I still have warranty & service till December.

Thanks for the input.

Foxwell looks pretty good, does it do everything the Bavarian Technic can do? I like the stand alone tool rather than hauling a laptop out to my car. I have no real interest in coding my car but i do want to be able to take care of all the servicing after warranty & service expire.

Very complete and can be used on as many BMWs as you have - not limited to 3 cars etc.

I bought the Foxwell from Schwaben as well . I haven't used it much.I wanted it to cycle the ABS pump during brake fluid changes and to register new batteries. I'm glad you give it a positive rating.
