R53 Most liked posts in thread: P2096 Error Code

It was your O2 and since those are replaced you need a BMW scan tool to clear the hard code stored in the ROM.

Your local MINI dealership can do it for you for a fee.

A typical scanner / code reader will not do it.

You cou;d also buy the BavTech cable in the link below for $179.00 and connect your car via a Windows laptop with the downloadable BavTech software.

Hint: do not register your VIN to the software and you can use this cable on several cars.

I had this cable and software when I still had a factory ECU and it is an excellent tool and worth the money. I sold it in the Spring when I upgraded to a ViPEC / Link ECU.

The Bavtech device is the bomb. Well worth it f you plan on keeping the car. And, 2096 code can be from intake or exhaust leak so be prepared to dig a bit more if it comes back once cleared.
