There’s a guy on the 2002FAQ that makes a modern version of this if you can’t find one.
What's it do?????
It looks like it connects to the diagnostic port on later model cars for testing of supported systems. I'm sure there were BMW tools out there somewhere that did the same thing, but probably were junked long ago.
I have the one from the 2002faq, it reads voltage, rpm and dwell and can start and run the motor without the key in the ignition.
I have 2 diagnostic ports on my 72MY E3. One near the front left of the cam cover and one on the left inner fender...
Which port do these aftermarket tools plug into?
What functions did each port originally measure?

The one on the fender reads the info I identified. Not sure what the valve cover one does.

Valve cover port may be for ignition timing?
I've heard anecdotally they were used in most cases by mechanics to start and shutdown the car remotely while working on it without having to worry about getting the interior dirty..
If you are hunting AND have a D-jet car, then you might as well hunt down the EFAW 228. That can actually tell you something.

I recently sourced all the old parts for the valve cover one, it reads the coil info and #1 spark plug for use with a timing light. It requires the double plug wire for the coil and the loop sensor for #1 plug.
I did some research and could only come up with a BMW2002faq member Pat Allen who has come up with a Digital Plug-in Analizer.
I am still searching for the JRE Wunderbox.
Good Luck.
