Trouble reading code

I went to autozone to see if I could determine what code was being generated as I have a SES light. The actron machine that Autozone had gave me an error saying that it could not communicate with the car. Suggestions?

Thanks,

Chris

Just the usual... get a Peake code reader. Codes are inevitable. Every M5 owner should have one.

Chris,

Have you done the BMW OBD II Emision recall campaign. Perhaps you should do it. Once you do this any OBDII reader should be able to communicate with the car to read generic OBD II error codes.

Regardz,
