BMW Vehicles On The RTS OEM Calibration Requirements Search
I-CAR · October 3, 2025 · BMW
Summary
BMW vehicles on the RTS OEM Calibration Requirements Search direct users to refer to the OEM scan tool for camera/sensor identification and calibration requirements. Because BMW houses most ADAS calibration procedures and configuration-specific details directly within the scan tool rather than the service manual, technicians must connect an OEM-level scan tool to the vehicle to identify active systems and required calibrations.
What to do on the job
Connect an OEM-level scan tool directly to the BMW vehicle in the stall to identify equipped ADAS sensors and their specific calibration requirements, and document these requirements using screenshots or photos of the scan tool screen.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the necessity of connecting an OEM-level scan tool during the blueprinting/estimating phase to identify ADAS components and calibration requirements. Since these details are not fully documented in standard service manuals or third-party databases, scanning the vehicle and taking screenshots of the scan tool's calibration instructions is required to document and prove the necessity of ADAS calibrations on the repair estimate.
