It should be simple to switch between OBD and EDIABAS by changing EDIABAS.INI from interface = ADS. I have it setup to use ADS/ODB.

As I recall, it said E36 support. That is probably true but have limited access via OBD. I'm not knocking the seller. He instantly offer me a refund. It's just an FYI for those thinking this have ADS support.

Soo what should I buy then?

bmwmotoon will do if you don't need ADS.

I personally like to have one tool to scan older models. You never know if you need it in the future. In my case, I have 94 325is which require ADS interface.

If that happened to me in 5th gear (probably doing 60mph) it would absolutely scare the shit out of me.
