I was reading the blog here http://xdrivers.co.uk/forum/https://xdr ... ic.php?t=9 and am interested in buying one of these scanners for my E53 , but I have a question , the model suggested here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/310249608189? ... 1497.l2649 says at the bottom ''not compatible with Windows 7'' .
As that's my operating system , does anyone have a scanner recommendation for that pls ??

Cheers, Chris

It's a somewhat quick Alpina tuned E36......I worked with someone who had the 5-series Alpina from that era and it went like a bat out of hell but was comfy as anything.  The E36 B8 will put an M3 to shame.... :)

There's a few vids of the E36 B8 on YouTube.
