I just bought a Foxwell NT510 elite scan code reader and checked for codes.
Car never threw a code, shut engine power, or ran with reduced power, and only 31k miles on X1 s28i.
However, I did have some track days where the DSC would cut power momentarily. I left the DSC on kept the ediff working.
I got a 2D57 Vanos code which involves the Vanos problem of stalling car, and I also got code of 36FD DME having to do with faulty programming of DME.
Look up Vanos troubles, since many BMW's have this trouble.
I got my foxwell from it's website for $129, and it seems easy enough to use, and will register AGW battery change when it comes.
Oh, and I checked the oil level which said 72mm and anything >60 is good.
