Where can I buy a diagnostic tool for BMW?
Q. My cousin has a shop and he wanted to know where he can purchase an authentic diagnostic tool like the ones the BMW dealership mechanics use. Do the SnapOn tools just give codes or do they perform like the real diagnostic tools where they provide actual information and show a diagram on how to access that particular part?
