Hey everyone,
I'm Donda, and this year I got my first BMW – a 2023 320i G21 LCI.
I’ve got some experience with VAG tools, especially when it comes to remapping, but I joined this community to get up to speed with BMW-specific tools.
I'm mainly interested in things like scanning for maintenance, diagnostics, and repairs, disabling the annoying auto start/stop feature, and maybe even getting my hands on some service and repair manuals. So far, the forum has been really helpful, and I’m glad to be part of the community.
If anyone’s reading this, I’d love to get some advice on what to keep in mind when starting out with BMWs!
