Apparently my model needs a Foxwell NT530, which is arriving today--we'll see if it can register my new battery when my shop with autologic can't.
I've also found specs of my fluids, I hope:
Trans: MTF LT-5 1 L (only one liter?)
Front Diff: hypoid axle oil G2 .5 L
Rear diff-- hypoid axle oil G1 3 x .5L
I'm not a software person so much, so will try to avoid ista and the temptation to make too many changes to things.
Thanks, folks! Hopefully we can learn from one another on the b58.
I've been diying since '94 on bmws...not sure how much translates from the e36/46, but some of it should.
