General note to the thread, the kidneys on the hood were peeling off the Titan color, so I pulled all the grills and sprayed an epoxy based paint that matches the Shadowline trim. I chose epoxy for its durability against minor rock and bug chips to the finish. |
In case it helps, I just installed BMW Scanner 1.4 / PA Soft on my Win10 laptop on Saturday.
Copying from a post I made yesterday on this:
I bought something called BMW Scanner 1.4 on eBay:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Programmer-...3/132853106131
Searching eBay for the 1.4 BMW Scanner will find it. I paid $12. Was supposed to come from China, but somehow mine arrived 3 days later from within CA. That eBay listing very clearly says that it will only work on Windows XP, but I did not try that since it worked fine on my Win10.
Then these instructions:

Work perfectly. No need think, guess, iterate, experiment. I just followed them exactly (despite the post being 7 years old), using my completely normal Win10 x64 laptop (about as normal as you can get), and it installed, ran, etc.
Reading / clearing errors (including some my Foxwell NT520Pro did not find), editing EEPROM, etc. all worked exactly as it was supposed to.
