So my E46 went into limp mode when the crankshaft position sensor failed. Replaced the sensor and the DME still has an error and no matter how much you erase the CEL code with an OBD2 scanner, the DME still puts the car in emergency mode. Now I'm stuck with nowhere to go and don't want to steal it, so that's the next option. The cable itself is fine and works out of the box with INPA and other BMW software. Before that I used the previous cable which I had to throw away because it wouldn't connect 90% of the time. Using the cable and INPA I cleared the codes from the DME and the car started and ran fine straight away. Saved me a lot of further frustration and time.
