Excellent news....but how long after that might the first real BMW release be? (The E46.) This year sometime? About 1/2 the E46s in North America are out of...
BiM-COM guys: Would you be interested in accepting a deposit for the E46 product? Even if I have to wait a year, I'd be willing to contribute $100 to help pay...
So I saw something that said "soon," and that you've got a version that's ready except that it doesn't work on '05 models. Is there any reason that you can't...
Hello Nicholas, ... the first product will still support Mini only; this has not changed. i've finished coding the '05 support for that. ... thanks for your...

OK, there's some miscomunication here. At the present time, the BiM-COM stuff is only working with Mini Coopers, the R50/R53 chassis. The big hassle with BMW...
I guess that all I can really say here is OUCH. Out of curiosity, will you be able/willing to do a staggered release for the E46, so that as you develop...
Hello Nicholas, ... it's not as bad as it seems. the majority of the "work" in developing BiM-COM has been the architecture of the framework. since we know...

I own a 2003 MINI Cooper S that is rapidly approaching the end of its warranty, so I'm looking forward to your BiM-COM release. I do have a question about the...
Hello mkaufer1, ... "we do not comment on unreleased products" so i'll say what i can... the track record of the Ross-Tech philosophy regarding product ...

Heck, I'd bet there are quite a few people who would pay good money JUST for a product that bleeds the brakes. I know that that is almost half of why I want...
Actually, I'd buy it today if all it did was reset the oil change and service lights on my 2000 M Roadster. I can wait for the enhancements. Here's the issue....
... I know with E36 it's just a paperclip trick to reset service lights. My small mechanic has a tool to do it. I don't know if you necessarily need a full...
Rich, Thank you. I will take that as a positive response. While the diagnostic capabilities of a scan tool are invaluable for troubleshooting problems,...
I'm curious as to whether the BiM-COM will be able to upgrade the DME on the E46. On the performance-package equipped 330i, there was a rough idle issue that...
I assume that BiM-COM goes the same way as VAG-COM, that's what Uwe and Rich have mentioned more than once. So according to that, I think BiM-COM would not get...
No way. We don't do this on VW's either. When a diagnostic session goes wrong, the ECU reverts to normal operation. When a flash-update session goes wrong,...
will the software be able to code new modules like bc2 units or speedos sorry if this is a basic question as i am not familiar with Vag Com and any idea of...
I've seen a screenshot with E36 and E46 in the menu column. Will these model ranges be in the first release? I use VAG-COM almost daily and other diag tools...
Hello scartboy, ... no. certainly not in the initial betas. they're there because we are developing some of the modules necessary to support the E36 and E46...

Will the BiM-COM software work on the E39 series cars? 528i, 530i, and 540i?...
Howdy Uwe, I'm an old Vag Com user at German Auto in San Luis Obispo, Ca. I just joined this group because I want my shop to be one of the first in line to get...
I am an owner of a 2001 1.8T, 2002 325CI AND a 2003 Mini Cooper so you can see my concern with the functionality of your software. I am about to purchase...
Hello mahunik02, ... 1) because there is a big groundswell of enthusiasm about the MINI, it has a lot of diagnostic-capable modules, there is a big base of ...

Christian, ... that's mostly true. of course, MINI is a very complex BMW :-)... we're now pretty good at bringing new ECU's online, now that we have the...
