Diagnostic Tool for both BMW and Porsche?

[Hobbes]

I was looking at the durametric package forh my '00 996 Cab C2, but naturally, Durametric does not cover BMW's. I have a '03 BMW X5. I'm curious if anyone in the forum has a recommendation for a diagnostic tool for both BMW and Porsche.

Many Thanks,

Ken

The Durametric Tool does some special things with Porsches that factory tools costing thousands of dollars can do. So I don't thing you can compare that to a more generic ISO tool.

If you need the features of the Durametric software then you might want to consider it plus the Car Code OBD-2 Vehicle Explorer Scan Tool that I reviewed here.

Loren,

Thanks for the quick response. Looks like this is the piece I need for both the Porsche and BMW. The price dwarfs the other options.

Much appreciated,
