ScanTool ODBLink LX and MX
Found this product on the WWW and thought it might be something of interest to us. Given how we always want more information about our cars this could be nice cheap tool to used with our phones/tablets.
Has anyone had any experience with using this product with BMW cars? Opinions wanted. http://www.scantool.net/scan-tools/ |

Works with any car with OBD since 1996 except a few one-offs from Renault and Mitsubishi from what I know.
Works on my E82, mates F10, dont see how a 2 series is different in any way. It interfaces better and can clear codes etc better than a P3 Vent guage. Also if you setup the app properly, after 600s of no activity on that speficic dongle it will shut itself off. https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...g.prowl.torque You can make it look however you like as the app is completely customisable. I use this one with Torque Pro: http://www.scantool.net/scan-tools/obdlink-mx.html
