Message
to BMW owners:
If you answer
"yes" to any of these questions, you need an R5/FCX-3!
Has your BMW ever stalled, been slow to start, idled poorly or hesitated
during acceleration? Has the Engine light (also known as the "Check
Engine" or "Service Engine Soon" light) come on when
everything seemed fine? Have you ever received a costly repair bill
and wondered if the repairs and charges were legitimate?
Without the
R5/FCX-3 scan-reset tool from Peake Research, you may be forced
into accepting what the repair/service center tells you and charges
you. Wouldn't it be great to know exactly what's wrong before you
bring your BMW in for a repair? Or, better yet, if you're handy
with tools you can avoid the repair shop altogether- run your own
diagnostic and fix the problem yourself! That is, if your car even
needs a repair. Read on..
What is
the Engine light trying to tell me?
The BMW Engine light can mean any number of things. Sometimes it's
alerting you to the real need for a repair, so the Engine light
is something you should never ignore. But quite often it is merely
indicating one of the many, simple (topped off your coolant, loose
gas cap or oil cap) type problems. Imagine paying a hundred dollars
to a repair shop to tighten your radiator cap and reset the Engine
light. Without the R5/FCX-3, you're stuck staring at your Engine
light until you're in the mood to see the mechanic who can reset
it.
Are you starting to see that the R5/FCX-3 makes great financial
sense? There's more..
Routine
Maintenance Lights
As an added benefit, the R5/FCX-3 includes the ability to reset
the oilservice and inspection, routine maintenance lights, and the
maintenance mileage countdown indicator on most 87-04 models. Considering
that an oilservice for a BMW can sometimes equal the price of the
R5/FCX-3, this feature alone is worth the price of the R5/FCX-3.
Note: People often confuse the SI lights "oilservice"
and "inspection" with the CBS system, which does not have
an oilservice or inspection light. It should be noted that on many
05 and later models the R5/FCX3, while fully able to read codes
and reset the Service Engine Soon light up to 2007¹, is unable
to reset the CBS indicator.
Check your 05+ BMW (or 745).
Indispensable
for Mechanics and BMW owners:
- compact
size
- Very easy
to use
- inexpensive
- available
for most BMWs from 1987 to
2007¹*.
- durable
enough to withstand daily use by professional mechanics.
According to
our toughest critics (BMW mechanics), we have succeeded with flying
colors! At this price, every mechanic can afford at least one.
*Adaptor:
Most BMW owners do not need an adaptor, however in circumstances
where the tool will be used on a variety of BMWs, such as in a repair
shop, an adaptor may be necessary. In such cases you will need to
order the R5/FCX-3-U.
