New X5 Owner

Post by Rik » Mon Jan 11, 2016 7:11 pm

Hi, new X5 owner from Southampton here.
For no particular reason, we have never owned a BMW before, now all of a sudden we have 2.

The new addition is the X5 collected on Friday, had been looking at E53s, but managed to stretch to an E70 3.0d SE.

Im looking to get some diagnostic software, I have a Creator C310 scanner for use with the Z3, but looking for a PC based system and lead that would run on a small XP netbook and possibly cover both cars.

Im sure its been discussed before but not sure where to look, any pointers appreciated.
