This video goes through how to use INPA to diagnose engine problems on the 6-Series, and in particular the N62 V8 engine, but these routines are suitable for all BMW engines right from the 3 cylinder to the V12. It's great fun, and you can't do much harm. In particular I go through Adaptations - and the dreaded error adaptations at limits.

We spend a bit of time explaining Adaptations and what the values mean. The strange terms such as Lambda Integrator, Total Air Consumption HLM, and the difference between Additive and Multiplicative Adaptations - all explained here.

Diagnostics can seem daunting to start with, so many pages of information and things to fiddle with. Most of us just check the error codes and leave it at that. Fortunately, there are three pages on INPA that gives us a window into the engine that is easy to understand.

Although this routine shows diagnostics on the M62 V8 engine, the INPA pages used here are useful for all BMW engines. These three pages, Analog 1, 2 and Smoothness gives an insight into the condition of the engine and any impending problems.

We also look at Adaptations and how the values can enable us to get the best performance and engine economy.
