Im pretty sure it is mate

be careful which one you buy as my one doesnt work on the bmw, luckily i have a mechanic friend who has some more ££ expensive readers

is there anyway i could find out if my car is obd 2 compatable cheers

call a BMW dealer and ask lol

Dealers will sting you to hook it up to their systems, any small garage can give you a reading, probably cheaper than buying a reader.

If you reset the ecu then all the codes will be lost from the memoery, so best going to a small garage and get the codes read and see where you go from there.

this is true but it you can get to the service department they can tell you about OBD compatibility in seconds.

ALWAYS go to a local grease monkey before main dealership for work like this because it will save you a truck load of cash and tbh cant exactly go wrong on a job like reading ecu codes

your car is obd 2 i use this system every day and have just changed a camshaft sensor on a 318 and the managment light did need reseting
