The bimmer-tool app provides a range of functions for BMW cars, including reading and clearing fault codes, requesting DPF regeneration, and reading live engine data. However, the application's functionality is limited for cars below model year 2008, and a reliable OBD adapter is necessary for optimal performance. The app can be connected to the car using K+DCan USB cable, ENET cable/Wifi adapter, or ELM327 Bluetooth/WiFi adapters. The bimmer-tool app allows users to perform various tasks, such as resetting DPF adaptation values, reading actual and expected values for air mass and fuel pressure, and logging data to a CSV file. However, it may not work with some older engines or models, and some common problems may arise, such as the "No response" error or no connection, which can be resolved by adjusting the advanced connection settings or restarting the phone. The app requires certain permissions to function properly, such as storage, photos/media/files, Bluetooth devices, and full network access, but it does not use or read location information.
