Now it seems to start to make sense to use the BT tool for datalogging purposes on the M3 as well, IMO. However, I'd like to see how the SW behaves on a Netbook ( Intel Atom * ) using Windows 7 64-Bit. Can't test, sold my Netbook .
I'll post to this thread when I use it on my M3, I'm going to be buying it as an additional diagnostic tool since my 335 will be out of warranty soon and I refuse to believe that $3k or more for extended maintenance is cheaper than DIY when the fuel pump issue is already warranted to 100k regardless.
