BMW owners and technicians today are facing the urgent need to read and reset BMW's unique factory engine fault codes and lights. This requires a NON-OBDII tool, such as the low cost R5/FCX3 from Peake Research, which will read and reset factory dealer codes and reset BMW's unique dash lights, like the Oilservice - Inspection and engine lights.

Why is "NON-OBDII" so important?
There is a huge difference between OBDII codes and the highly specific factory codes. The R5/FCX3 accesses BMW's vast array of factory diagnostic, analysis and repair codes enjoyed by BMW dealers, where OBDII tools and the misleadingly named "Manufacturer Specific OBDII tools" simply will not. Keep in mind, BMW did not go beyond the governments most narrow and basic legal requirement for OBDII code reading in their cars. Therefore OBDII code readers are of virtually no value outside the realm of smog testing.

(Example: All BMWs 1996 - 1999, All Z3s and all 740is regardless of year are "dual connector" cars. Also note that X5s and many three series up to mid 2001 are also dual connector). Check the car before ordering.
