Car: Z4 3.0I with the ZF 6HP19 transmission. BMW INPA 2020 5.0.6 + NCSEXPERT 4.0.1 + EDIABAS 7.3.0 + SPDATEN V67. New year, new version of Inpa. Technical version 1.0. Feel good for a quick description. In the first place I focused attention on the lack of E39 in the previous version. Also in the previous one there was a problem with units of type.C and.F. Welcome to Joel Confer BMW We are proud to be celebrating 40 years of serving the State College Area with BMW Sales, Service and Parts. The staff of Joel Confer BMW would like to invite you to visit our showroom at 120 East Clinton Avenue in State College, PA and Experience the Difference.

You are at your risk. INPA will work with few select things for an E38 such as resetting adaptations, diagnostics, code reading, etc. NCS Expert will NOT run on a 64-bit operating system. If you have a 32-bit version of Windows 10, please feel free to try ECS Expert and let me know if it works!
