So I decided on the NT 710, but I also spent some time today uninstalling amd then reinstalling Mikes easy BMW tools so I could have INPA again. After the install on my 4 or 5 year old Windows 11 laptop I went thru the readme file instructions on setting the USB ports to Com1 (default was 3 after install), and voila, it works on my e53.

Ironically I temporarily bricked my rear axle suspension with the 710 too. I think (emphasis on think) that I selected self level suspension “2” versus “1” when I was trying to bring the right rear up about 15 mm to level the back out from left to right sides. I figured out my mistake and canceled the operation, but this morning had a self leveling suspension inactive message waiting for me when I drove the car.

The semsors and compressor tested fine on the new foxwell, but the message persisted. It did finally clear when I reset the “line mode”, which as it turns out is “assembly line” mode. I’m assuming that the suspension module completely reset when I selected this option.

So after getting inpa up and running this am I brailled my way into the single axle “tune” page and messed around until I got the right and left sides set equally.

So far I’m happy with the 710, which should also work on my wife’s 50e G05.
