I have a 1989 325is with an OBD2 M52B28TU. The car was tuned last summer in Portland, and then shipped out to me in October. Since it arrived it's been having a hot start issue, which the tuner claims is likely some kind of crank sensor problem. He sent me a cable to scan for codes, but I have yet to get it to connect to anything so far.
I've tried the following with a K+DCAN cable connected to the port in the engine bay:
-BMWLogger on Mac OSX (10.11.6 and 10.9.5)
-BMWLogger on Win XP
-ProTune Logger on Mac OSX (10.11.6 and 10.9.5)
This is basically the same software/drivers as BMWLogger, from what I understand
None of them connect or see the ECU, despite installing several sets of drivers for USB-to-serial emulation.
I'm kind of new to this, so does anyone have a recommendation or best practice for getting codes from the ECU? I'm kind of surprised that it's this difficult, but maybe I'm doing something wrong.
