I am new to BMW standard tools and INPA. I am trying to get this going. Ive watched alot of DIY videos and read alot of threads but I am a little confused.

My INPA reads my engine just fine but when I try to read my transmission it gives me a dialog box that says that the versions do not match and malfunction is possible. When I say ok, another dialog box that says the languange variants dont match. When I say ok to that one, it appears to read my transmission as I can access the temperature readings but im afraid I dont have the right datens or files or something so I refuse to try to do anything but "look". I am including pictures in this post to show you the errors and programs so that you can see exactly what ive got going on and can possibly help.

I have a 2006 BMW 325i E90 N52 engine ZF 6 speed automatic transmission.

I have no current error codes and no issues as I try to keep my daily driver in good shape. I just noticed the issue because I was about to do the transmission fluid replacement and needed the program to monitor the transmissions temperature. It appears that I can see the temperature but im not sure if I can trust the readings if I have the wrong version.

I am using a recently bought Bimmergeeks cable and recently installed Bimmergeeks BMW standard tools on a windows 10 laptop.

I downloaded the base folder and E89 folder from the bimmergeeks link to the mega site for the sp-datens.

I updated the sp datens using the E89 folder, as I dont even know what the base folder is.

The bimmergeeks website link didnt have an E90 folder so i grabbed the E89 folder as the only next option was F001 folder.

Does anyone know what I need to do? Im making this post so that others new to BMW standard tools can navigate through these hurdles as im trying to do. Im sure others are running into the same questions.

Im surely not going to try to code anything if I dont have the correct versions or datens.

Where do I get them from? Of course free is cool but if they need to be bought I can do that as well.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Here are some pictures, and I apologize for the huge pictures as I dont know how to make them smaller yet.

You are fine- INPA is operating normally.

You've got the correct daten (E89) - all E9x models use that daten. However, if you downloaded BMW Standard Tools from Bimmergeeks, you actually won't need the daten for anything except WinKFP. The files from the daten necessary for INPA and NCSExpert are already preloaded by Bimmergeeks in their BST distribution. Remember you must extract with 7-zip.

Thank you. What a relief to hear that. I was thinking that I missed something.

Yeah I extracted and installed the E89 datens. A change that I noticed after installing the E89 datens is that instead of saying "F10 end" in english, it now says it in german. That was just an obvious change that ensured me that I had correctly installed the datens.

Again, many thanks.

it's fine. it has nothing to do with your car or transmission - it's an INPA warning, which you can ignore.

thanks
