INPA for e82

[La128i]

Downloaded INPA and trying to register a new battery for my 128i. All I see is E87....no E82. Is there a newer version available? Had my seats recovered and want to replace my original battery (2013) and get rid of a possible airbag light. Forgive my ignorance but all this is new to me. Thanks

I recommend you register your battery with a scan tool like snap on

^He has no idea ...



Use the E87 option. It's the same thing ... and actually there is no E82 option.


An alternative, and easier to use, is ProTool --> https://www.bimmergeeks.net/protool .

I've always been told and used E89 (F10)

Maybe they both work?

The e87 is the original 5-door hatch version of the 1-series that was never sold in the US (sadly, IMHO). the 3dr hatch is the e81. Since all e8x cars are electronically the same, that is all that is in the software.

Just one of those weird BMW quirks - you would have thought they would have used e81 to represent the whole family of cars in the software. IIRC, the e81 and e87 were introduced at the same time, with the e82 and e88 three years later.
