Getting ready to bleed my wife's 2011 R56 brakes. I've got the pressure bleeder, catch can, and wrench. Reading my Bentley book, it says you need to hook up a mini cooper or equivalent scan tool to call up service function ABS/DSC bleeding. Any idea what OBD II scanner to buy? I've read elsewhere you can just bleed the brakes, drive, slam on the brakes on a dirt road and engage the ABS and rebleed the brakes, but I'd rather just buy the tool. Always great to have more tools.

 

This tool from ECS Tuning should work.

OK great, I ordered it and it says it will ship tomorrow! Thanks for the great tip on this product. Plus it says I can use it on my wife's son's R53 S and my F56 JCW!

 

Thats the one, thanks RB. Its cross plat-formal, just select the model. Updates are available for 18 months.
