My experience with a laptop GT1

[koister2001]

Thanks Jose,

I will definitely take some pictures of the setup for pre-facelift models. If $tealers can do, we can do!
My 330ci is 2001 (2001/05 build). I will go over the document and report the progresses. One thing that I realized is that I have to put the gear in neutral (I am 5 speed) before running DIS. Hopefully that unlocks the mystery.
Weasel, have any other suggestions for the issue with my 3?

I was going to suggest the exact thing. As I understand it, the round connector is a BMW proprietary connector. So, for later models BMW went with the standard OBD connector.

Obviously, all my DIY are for facelift models but maybe you can help out now. Can you take pics of the location in the engine compartment and of the actual connection then post or send it to me. Then we can add it to the first post. I'm going to add the pics I have of how to connect the cables so that would help.

On the 330ci .. what year is it?

Okay, koister2001 just confimed to me that the issue with his 330ci was the same as his X. Apparently, if you have a manual tranny just stick it in neutral!
