best source for peake code reader?

[Russell]

Searched and could not find anything reagarding "best" source for a Peake code tester for my 525i.

Found stuff on how to use and codes it would read. Also, I have not seen any resonable prices for used readers on e-bay.

TIA

There probably are no reasonable prices on these things. Best bet would be to share one with one or two other BMW owners in your area.

bought one through Bimmerzone

I really do not know any other people to share BMW tools with. In fact, I think tool sharing can be a bit of a "losing" proposition if you are not careful.

In fact, I think I may have some tools that belong to my brother I borowed many years ago. :)

What can the peake tool do that you cant do with a piece wire and the stomp test?

I love mine. I use it all the time when checking out cars for friends, at shows, auto-x etc. Well worth the $150

stop test is a pain for my weak eyes :)

A stomp test is a pita....

there are some tools that do airbag resets.....

I do not want to spend big bucks? I do not know of any other low cost alternative. Of course, now that I just spent money for a Peake, there will be other choices. :)
