Diagnose and Maintain Your BMW's DPF System

bimmer-tool empowers BMW owners to read and clear trouble codes, initiate DPF regeneration cycles, monitor live engine data, and perform various diagnostics on their vehicles.

Compatibility Notes

For vehicles manufactured before 2008, functionality may be limited. We strongly recommend using a K+DCan USB cable connection for pre-2008 models as wireless ELM adapter connections may not support all features.
