Diagnostic port location on the BMW 1 Series E87

Model: BMW Serie 1 E81, E82, MK 1, E87 - Years 2004-2013
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, we can see where the EOBD (European On Board Diagnostic) port is located on the BMW 1 Series version E84; E82; E87, which are models produced from 2004 to 2013. Unlike many other models, which have the diagnostic port along with the fuse box, BMW has designed a specific location for this component in this version. It is located on the front door pillar, driver's side, towards the front. Here we find a small door that can be removed by applying force to the corner of the pillar; we remove the protective cover and find our diagnostic port.
