    How to set up a BMW Diagnostic Computer doityourself

    After getting my computer set up, I've decided to start an ongoing DIY thread on how to set up a few programs for diagnostics and coding our E46. It'll be a brain dump, if you will, while the information is still fresh on my mind. In attempt to reduce the amount of hotlinking to other forums or images, I'll try to cover everything regarding installation within this thread. Please do not quote any of the images or steps, as this is an ongoing DIY.
    As far as general use of the software, DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK!

    OMG thank you for starting this!

    I fully plan to do this as soon as I get a cable; I was dreading the amount of searching & forum reading I was going to have to do to get it all working.

    Thank you Spencer, I fiddled around with it a couple weeks ago but failed to get it completely working - hopefully by following these instructions I can get it to work right!

    The title says 330i, but the application chart says all e46.. I hope it'll work fine

    Cable won't get here till 3/30, starting to install XP on Boot Camp now.. this goes against every fanboy fiber in my body...

    UPDATE, the Early 2001 MacBook Pro QC does not support Win XP, only 7... Will buy a license and try it on.
