Does anyone know for certain which code reader will work on an early (Apr 97) M44 Z3 please? It's OBD One, OBD 2 readers don't work IME.

Have developed a hot start issue and obviously would like to read the codes as a starting point.
Cheers,
Ian
 
OBD2 should be OK on an 2001 Z3.
Think the Creator is favoured by many for OBD2 cars. Doubt whether Argos sell them!
 
As far as I remember the early cars could be read using BMW INPA software on an old style laptop with a dedicated serial port, they cant use usb cables. Your car probably only has the round Pacman diagnostic socket in the engine bay, later Obd2 cars had the Pacman socket and a 16pin OBD2 socket under the steering wheel. If you do a search on here you should find more info on Obd1 code reading.
