BMW Fault Code Database

Hi All,

If this post is not allowed, please feel free to remove it (the site is free and has no ads so I make no money from it!)

Many of you may already be familiar with a site I put together, it is a resource that can help many of us who work on our cars ourselves or are attempting to diagnose our own car. It is essentially a database of every fault code for modern BMWs (and most of the older ones) along with extended information for some of the fault codes (causes, things to check, etc).

BMW fault code database:
http://bmwfault.codes/

Feel free to check it out and let me know if you have any feedback!

I've had the site running for a few months now, but have been off of these forums for a couple years so haven't had a chance to share it here. I hope it can be helpful to everyone!

Awesome thanks! Any idea how to determine what ECU variant you have?

Sadly, there's no great way that I've found for me to extract that information from a VIN or anything. The only way to know for sure would be to connect to the car directly.

For most of the more common codes it shouldn't matter much, but for some of the obscure ones it can get confusing. Sorry I can't help more on that front!
