2011 BMW M3 2D Coupe, StandardSECTION Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 333 other vehicles, including the 2007 BMW Z4, 2007 BMW X5, 2007 BMW X3, 2007 BMW M6, and 2007 BMW M5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The OPPS (Optical Testing and Programming System), OPS (Optical Programming System) and the diagnostic head can all be used with the Software Service Station to serve as the interface to the vehicle. Optimal programming speed on MOST bus equipped vehicles is obtained by using the OPPS/OPS head connected to the OBD connector and directly to the MOST access port on E60, E63/64 and newer vehicles.
