Any reason for the vm snapshots? hurting performance and disk size. Of course there's the advantage of rolling back after you screw up something.

Alternatively you can use Oracle VirtualBox which is free.

After you install Oracle VirtualBox, you can hit new and hit hide description
Name the Virtual Machine
Select Microsoft Windows
Select Windows 7
Set your memory size to 2048 or larger depending on your machine
Under hard drive section, select Use an existing virtual hard drive
Then find the *********.vmdk location
Hit Create

Now you should be able to start the BMW Coding Virtual Machine in Oracle VirtualBox
Do you have the issue where the Whole computer crashes whenever you unplug the KDCAN cable? This only happens whenever I use VirtualBox.

Not looking to do any major work. Just headlight error coding and the other fun stuff like all windows up when holding lock on fob. My E90 is really stock with the addition of hot climate package and sport package with paddles. I only wish the guy would have gotten heated front seats(he did too).

I got an amazing deal on this 08 E90 with 64,000 $11,500 private seller. He did the euro delivery and took great pride in it. He even replaced all tires, rotors, and windshield wiper pump before he sold it. Even the dealer said the car was in great shape when I had them change the brake fluid. They had no work needed to be done to upsell me!

Well V1 is all you'd need but its not in english regarding BMW Standard Tools. It works but not knowing the wording is a headache. Possible try wildcatcrazy setup of BMW standard tools. It is the most fluent I've seen

New in V2:
Reduced VM ram to 2GB (Increase this if your computer will support it)
ISTA/P 3.56.1.002
ISTA/P Loader 4.5 with K+DCAN and ENET ICOM Emulator
ETK 01.2016 with Prices
Switched to UBlock Origin from AdBlock Plus in Chrome
CutePDF Writer for saving diagnostic reports via print to PDF
Additional help files and documentation.
Couple little tools such as K-Line to DCAN Switcher, EasyConnect Tester
All Windows Updates Completed
Theme switched to Windows Classic for quicker operation.

VM Size is now 205GB Extracted and just under 100GB Compressed

Make sure to keep resolution at at least 1280x1024 for proper ISTA/P operation.

I will only be seeding V2 as of tonight 1/31.

Please provide feedback and rep if you enjoyed this!

Enjoy!
I see PichaDis11 is already on the thread. I haven't read thru all the pages... but i have a nice macbook pro with vmware 7.1.3 or do i need to upgrade to vmware 8 to use this? i have about 16gb of ram on the macbook

Has anyone had issues with their coding cables getting bricked by the drivers on this VM?

You are about set. You should definitely try it with what you have and see if it works first. It was made in Worskstation 12 I believe.

No bricked cables on my end. The OS on the VM is Windows 7 so upon startup, you should disable the wifi then jump into settings to turn off automatic updates. You should be good to go from there.

There's one issue. If you install windows updates you will get genuine Microsoft warnings. If I find what update to uninstall or a fix I'll advise you.

Found it. Avoid the update KB971033 at all cost. But if you do install it like a dummy, open a command line as administrator and run:
wusa /uninstall /kb:971033

Turn off automatic updates. I turned it on because I wanted drivers. My bad

WOW, can't wait to get home and download this. When flashing a 07 x5, I would need to use an ENET to obd cable correct? I've heard also about using the fiber optics ports for some things. Anyways great job.

Sweet. You're all set. Just download V2 and unpack it. Click on the vmx file and that will open vmware workstation. Specify you have "copied it" when asked.

When connecting your cable, you have to allow your vm to use it. So plug it in while the vm is running for getting a popup asking you what to do.

Check your BIOS and see if you have VT-x disabled in there. I have to on my desktop because I run a hackintosh and it doesn't play nice - but I'm using my Macbook Pro w/VMWare Fusion 8 for this.


On top of that - I'm currently downloading / seeding and getting about 2MB/s - should be done in 8 hours or so LOL - but I'll keep seeding as long as I can to help others out.

As far as I know everything should be already installed in the Virtual Machine - if you have that running you should be good to go!

Just make sure your cable is being recognized on COM1 in the virtual machine and everything should work fine! Do some testing first before attempting to push coding, to ensure you can read everything you want to.

I'm still learning myself so if I'm missing anything I apologize - maybe a coding veteran can chime in.

Upon extraction I got an error: ! H:\VMWARE\*********V2-1-31-16.rar: CRC failed in the encrypted file *********V2\*********-000001.vmdk. Corrupt file or wrong password.

Anyone else?

Am I going to have to re-download the whole thing again?!
