I tried it on an X3 (e83) and, as the OBD port is next to the driver's door, had I closed the door completely the unit would have suffered.
Upon inspection, a common theme as comments in Amazon (where I got the software) is confirmed: the unit looks flimsy and it is not very robust. The Mini CD contains all the software needed, although it really is better to download it from the web. The hardware/scanner arrived in a small pouch which was very basic.
