Auto Code Tester - Where's My Connector Location - BMW

It wasn't any laughing matter. The red-faced man had a check engine light on in his sparkling symbol of success and it had let him down. His BMW was clearly a source of personal pleasure, but his chagrin was very evident when he moaned:

"I worked my ass off to be the top salesman in our division, and buying and paying cash for this car was my personal reward. It's bad enough that I got laid off four months ago, and have gotten rejected on every job interview I've gone on since then -- but at least when I drove away from those rejections -- I had this Bimmer that I loved. Now, even it hates me! The check engine light is on and the dealership wants over one hundred dollars to diagnose the problem."

His neighbor had an auto code scanner that he could use, but neither of them could find out exactly where his data link connector was on his BMW.
