BimmerPortal.nl - Online BMW Forum

Hi there,
First and foremost I apologize that I do not speak Dutch and my topic will be held only in English. I am pretty sure though, everybody will be able to read this easily, hoping to find somebody willing to help me.
I bought a second hand BMW 5GT (F07, 2010, 3.0D, 180 KW, N57 if I am not mistaken) and would like to hook it up to the software, scanning it up as much as possible for finding any errors, malfunctions, checking injectors etc. Actually, I am looking for somebody who has a software and really knows how to do it in detail. Especially what should be checked out to ensure the car is in a good shape and do not require putting any big additional money to it. From my experience I know that it is better to ask bimmer folks for help with scanning my bmw since you know where to look up to find any errors, critical points etc. I have only an INPA software and the connector to older models, since I am still having a beautiful E38, 730d, 2001 in a full option. Therefore, I am not able to check out my F07. There are a few concerns which I currently have, but I will give details later on to those how are hopefully willing to help me out. I live in Heerlen and any assistance is truly appreciated. If you know any forum members living around my location, who should I talk to in getting this done, feel free to let me know. I do not expect that somebody does it for free..... I am open for any proposals and suggestions. You are also encouraged to reply in Dutch. Bimmer folks always find a mutual language

Hi carlito99

I do have good knowledge about software however I'm located near The Hague.

Hi

I appreciate your reply and offer, but it's too far to The Hague. Maybe I'll find somebody who lives close by and is willing to help me. From time to time I am in The Hague and let you know if so.

Thanks again!

Do you have a laptop included E-sys and a cable? Otherwise Source could try to take over your laptop in distance and could do the same form his lazy sofa

I have INPA software installed on my laptop and the cable K+DCAN as still have my E38 2001. I spent entire last weekend trying to hook up my F07 but I'm not sure if this is possible using this kind of cable. I don't have also inputs to F07 in my INPA but was only curious if the engine is visible and the connection is possible. Maybe you can give me some hints what I need to install (software) and which cable should I use to hook it up and conduct scanning. I have Windows 8 on my laptop.
