KJ,
By all chassis I was referring to all of an individual vehicle's systems not all vehicles. My point is that there is nothing that is going to fulfill the OPs needs for around $100.00. And for Westend, I worked for BMW for 30 years of my 38 year career, the last 8 as an independent, and there are a few good diagnostic tools available if you have the where with all to purchase them.

Hey Randy,
I try to get by with an OBDII reader and my wits. I do have the Bentley Manuals and they lay a lot of it out there. I would like to reset the indicator light for the airbag and my DSC is also not engaged. The latter may be due to a failed sensor on one of the axle ends.
I'm not looking into getting into the trade ao I may just take it into the shop to look at these two things. Also, not trying to make it into a new vehicle, it's an '01 530 with 165K on the clock so value is diminishing fast.
you might try an alldata subscription. Not that expensive, and IMHO they provide way way way more troubleshooting info on a specific vehicle than bentley et.al. manuals. You may not even need a code reader to solve your problems, they may have info on how to reset.
