About to pickup a Bavarian Technic professional - any deals to be had?
Hey all,
Finally going to grab one of these and going to go with the pro version. I have 3 BMWs to work on currently, and potentially more one day so don't want to be limited to 3 VINs. I'd also like to be able to help with other cars in the area etc if needed. Question - I see zero deals on this stuff out there. Does anyone know of any discounts? Thanks! |

If you do business with some of the vendors on here..they may be able to cut you a deal..I got some decent quotes about 2 yrs ago..but that was for the enthusiast version not the professional.

I've been holding out for more options, but this seems the best for logging. I can probably do the service intervals etc with some leaked tools, but the upkeep is annoying and I use them so infrequently that I'm somewhat scared of screwing something up. Also curious to see how easy/useful their coding functions are vs. the leaked BMW tools. |

Interesting. Using NCS Expert myself : ) Works well, but can be confusing to use when you aren't in-it all the time. Potential to screw things up fairly badly if you make a mistake also.

Yeah NCS Expert is the only thing that will really do the coding. The BT tool won't come anywhere close.

I was waiting for the Evolve data logging, but that is not out yet either. Perhaps I should just look into other factory tools for the service related stuff. M3 is out of warranty in October of this year. I just want to have this problem solved without it becoming a huge project; but perhaps that is inevitable. |

I don't mind the cost if it is a pretty complete tool. Would be nice to just take 1 program/laptop with me on road trips. ; )

I sent a PM to a forum vendor. We'll see what they say!

Well, the bad part is if you have an E46 with an MS45 DME..this tool will not read any sensors. Boo.
