OBD reader

[Johnny h]

Hi
Just wondering (probably know the answer already but...) is it worth investing in an OBD reader for my E89? Ive recently had a couple of warning pop up, like (in a previous thread) bulb warning and sometimes a tyre inactive indication. If so what would be any recommendations for a decent one would be appreciated.

Bimmergeeks ProTool if you have an android phone tablet. I use a cheap AllDocube tablet and my old Samsung phone. https://www.amazon.com/URAO-Tablet-Android-Octa-core-Camera/dp/B0H1CKFT28/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=3RNPTR3SAM8UV&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.pw5RhNM6Saq8gKXVKo8_nLBwc9TKq5w6pU9OuzF7ZnvU5qLWs4HhK7NM75GHaYsG40JjDXV2i7Mm3dSvtppk3hdJTrJIsFus5-ozIGVYJNDujjpbrL2iOfyOUsxS2d69gVGJFYZ3Kx2TmCOaT20N8Le1xvF6Ng_XAaQsc_IeMmu6cdkuMP5c6Hwnrj-KnSnXBrntoXnMpX91sx9a_ewdbuIzZozD4fMhBIL7A3iZ0Lc.O1N70wXkfsMXsGIgAWTn2-ynNc5CNt7Tir3c3UJARs8&dib_tag=se&keywords=alldocube&qid=1787486578&sprefix=alldocube,aps,146&sr=8-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1

As apps go ProTool is the gold standard…frankly an E89 without a suitable coding / diagnostic app is not a good place…unless you like garages and breakdown services…other apps are available..as well as dedicated machines ..
