Your car is OBD II compliant, this means in part that the data port will be located in a specific location that is inside the passenger compartment. Under the dash there is a little cover that says 'OBD' on it and I removed that, but I didn't see a port of any kind to plug into.Ĭan someone let me know where that is? THanks!!If your CHECK ENGINE light is on (some cars may say, SERVICE ENGINE SOON), then the data port is behind the cover that says OBD on it. I went to Auto Zone today to plug up their OBD check engine code reader and see what code my car is throwing, however I couldn't find the port to plug it in. A couple of years ago BMW stopped making their proprietary connector (too redundant?) and all the new cars now use only the standard OBD connector. This is where the emission inspection computer on the places that this inspection is required is connected and all BMW's since 96 have it.

What he might not be aware is that all cars, BMW included, that comply to OBDII standard must have a OBD plug in the car where any standard scan tool can be connected.

What Fissionx refers to is that all BMW cars up to around 2000 used a proprietary port in the engine compartment where BMW dealers (and the Pake scan tool) connects to access the error messages and the computer in general. The port is not very visible on itself but is up the cavity behind that cover. Can someone let me know where that is? THanks!! It is exactly there. Under the dash there is a little cover that says 'OBD' on it and I removed that, but I didn't see a port of any kind to plug into.
