There are only two codes I have right now. A slow O2 sensor but I am sure it just needs a new sensor and the exhaust flap error (which does not throw a CEL) it shows up when reading with Carsoft BMW software.

I still have an old school reader on a a MacBook with Parallels that runs a Windows XP virtual machine but it reads the extended BMW codes. I tried Carsoft on Windows 7 but it won't run.

If you check online for Carsoft, I think it works with a bunch of $15 readers I have seen on fleabay.

Kind of a hassle unless you have an old XP machine around but maybe more productive in the long run to have around.
