BMW Car Diagnostics
BMW vehicles (1, 3, 5 Series, X models) support the OBD2 standard and basic diagnostics can be read with AutoMulti. BMW's VANOS (variable valve timing) systems and ignition coils are common sources of timing and misfire codes.
Where is the OBD2 port?
The OBD2 port is usually on the driver side under the steering wheel; on some models it's behind a cover in the lower panel.

Coding and hidden features
BMW has a broad coding culture: video-in-motion, mirror fold, sport displays, comfort features and DRL can be coded. Note: on newer BMWs (F/G series) some writes require a signed/secure session; AutoMulti evaluates this within safe limits.
