I believe Carsoft makes a package that is capable of talking to and exercising the ABS modules on our cars but i can't confirm it. Autoenginuity makes a good system that is priced within reach but it does not support OBD 1 BMWs. There is also a European company that makes a very capable system (I think it is Autologic) but their system is also in the $10K region.

They sell you hardware and it is up to you to figure out how to make the software work. The Ebay vendors do not sell turnkey systems. If you buy the clone, you are going to need a computer expert to make it work with the laptop of your choice. Legit versions are around $10K and chinese clones around $1500 on Ebay. The BMW GT1 diagnostic system works with pre OBD 1 vehicles like the E34 but it is uber expensive. I strongly suspect the Snap-On MT2500 and other systems you mentioned are still mainly code readers. Im not finding much online either about Bosch lllДЄre there any technicians out there that can help a budding technician here? There must be a simple way to skin this polecat!(and PETA dont bother me) what aftermarket scan tools will work on this system )E34 '94,89-95/6 just prior to OBDll. No one has done a DIY article for this system from what I can see. However, before I do that can anyone comment on these units capabililty to do what I want or what they can do? The Bently book in the ABS section says see the dealer end of story and although there is a great DIY article on E36 ABS in this forum and how to rebuild the solenoid pack and also how to jumper the relays to cycle thru the solenoids for bleeding etc. Our E34's were a little left out and BMW wasnt verycoperative when it came to ALDL diagnostic connectors using there own proprietary design and then not consistent as other BMWs have different plugs you'd thought they would at least use the same one but.NO. So I may have to invest in these before I can use the available scan tools.ДЄdditionally, I have access to genisys, omiscan, drbll and a couple of others but they are mostly geared for OBDll and later CAn systems.

Of course the manuals don't discuss these item except generally. Also missing is the European (german BMW cartridge about 150.00 ) cartridge and a 'personality key' It seems the kits have every connector (adapters for Asian, domestic etc.) except the BM-1B adapter (89.00) for the firewall round plug diagnostic connector to serial port plug.

I have access to Snap-On MT2500 and a Snap-On Modis system.

I want to know my systems in and out on my 540.can anyone recommend a scan tool for this vehicle or BMWs in general other than the official dealership scan tools by BMW.
