Condition Based Service Problem

Bottom line, the Schwaben scan tool turned on a CBS function that does not exsist on 2008 USA X5s, (perhaps only exists on certain non-USA market M cars.)

So far, my newly acquired Schwaben scan tool is 0-1; it's first use causing damage that cost more to undo than the cost of tool itself.

As if I needed another reason to stick to INPA/DIS.

Glad you got it sorted. But that's pretty condemning of the Schwaben tool.

I'd return that Schwaben tool immediately. You're not the first I've seen/talked with, that has had these types of problems with the Schwaben scan tool!

INPA/DIS is a bit outdated. Why not try ISTA/D?
