Hi Tharon, I have got one and it works fine on R1100S EVO 2 spark model with MA 2.4 Motronic and servo assist ABS, currently running from home PC with a 5 metre long USB cable running out the window to my bike parked on driveway,{ I couldn't get the bike inside the house I was going to wait until wife went shopping} As I am very reluctant to let anyone sevice my bike I do all the maintenance myself with the OEM manual, However about the only thing that would stop a Beemer from running would be a hall effect sensor used for Crankangle sensing or a fuel pump failure or something even more basic than this, so the idea of taking one with you on a journey and using bluetooth to give you a fault code in the middle of nowhere, I am not sure in reality this would be needed, because if the bike still has the basics in electronics still working I think it would get you home due to the fact it doesn't need all the sensors operational to run the engine, only a few basic ones. If the basic primary sensors failed [very unlikely] you are going to need a trailer, and at least you would need a fluke meter to confirm diagnosis before attempting to fix the problem
