BimmerInspect

For BMW & MINI

Know the car before it costs you.

Inspect the BMW or MINI you drive, or the one you’re about to buy. Your phone reads what the car’s own computers know about its engine, gearbox, battery and mileage.

Three steps. No workshop.

All you need is your phone and an OBD adapter.

  1. Plug in an adapter

    A compatible Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or ENET adapter goes into the port under the dashboard.

  2. Run the free inspection

    Start the engine, open BimmerInspect and follow the guided check.

  3. Unlock the report

    For free, you see how much data your car provided. The results and the PDF are in the full report, a one-time purchase.

Some engine checks need a warm, idling engine. If a condition isn’t met, you get a partial result instead of a guess. Which adapter?

Coverage depends on model, powertrain and equipment. BimmerInspect complements a physical inspection; it doesn’t replace one.

Questions

Which cars are supported?

BimmerInspect is made for BMW and MINI models of the F and G generations, built from about 2011 onward, including plug-in hybrids. Older E-generation models are not supported. How much it can read depends on the model, engine and equipment, and the free inspection shows exactly what your car makes available before you pay anything.

Which adapter do I need?

A quality ELM327-compatible Bluetooth or Wi-Fi OBD-II adapter, or an ENET cable with a suitable Ethernet adapter for your phone. Cheap copies may not support every command the inspection needs.

Which phones does it work on?

BimmerInspect works on iPhone and iPad. An Android version will follow later.

Is the inspection really free?

Yes. Installing the app and running the inspection are free. The inspection shows how much data your car provided; to see the results, you unlock the full report with a one-time purchase.

Can I inspect my own car regularly?

Yes. Run an inspection whenever you like, for example before a service or a long trip. Reports are kept in the app’s Garage so you can look back at earlier results.

Can it prove the mileage was changed?

No. It compares the mileage stored in several control units. A mismatch is worth investigating, but it can also come from repairs or replaced parts.

Do I need an account?

No. BimmerInspect works without an account, and reports are stored on your phone. See the privacy policy for details.
