Fault code reader on eBay
Thinking about purchasing this fault code reader for my 2007 335i coupe on eBay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/U380-...item35b520fdaa Anyone with experience with this fault code reader or readers in general? any suggestions on what to use? I think the one above comes with a pdf that lists what the codes are. That's all I need, something to show the codes and something to translate the code. |

(Ken-He's the owner) popular vendor on e46fanatics dot com ..and go with the Peake scan tool It's one of the best on the market because it not only reads the generic fault codes, but it also reads the proprietary bmw codes. I personally own one, and it's one of the smartest things I purchased for my ride to date...

I would be willing to spend up to $200 for a good code reader, but are there any alternatives to find fault codes in your car without dishing out much money? if spending some money on a good code reader that you can use down the road is the best way to go, I don't mind, just wondering if anyone went the cheaper route. FYI - I have a feeling my o2 sensors are dying or has malfunctioned. Need something to see if this will show up in the fault code. BMW will charge me $125 diagnostic fee I believe. |

I have used my reader (with adapters) on my last 2 vehicles over 30 times, no joke. Well worth the 200+
