e53

[Google44]

Hi everyone. It has been at least 4 years since my e39 has gone and now I am back with e53. In the mean time it was Audi TDI.

I need help with two things:

1. having Audi I was use to VCDS and £10 cable of ebay which help me with diagnosing all possible faults. Is there anything similar for BMW and what cable/software to get

2. The car I bought came with panoramic roof faulty. Curtain only could be moved back and forward. I've tried to initialise it by pressing up and holding button but made it worse. The curtain split for an inch and it all stopped. Now it will not move either way. As per youtube video I've removed the interior light but there is only a white control module there - no motor. Fuse is OK and I can hear control module click when roof control is pressed. Any advice welcomed. This is why I think the diagnostic tool will help.


Beside that looking for tutorial on how to replace a mirror glass (burned out) and fix rear parking sensor - intermittent.

update: got this now on ebay 251516954596 - hope it will help. Any advice still welcome

Thanks
