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.
