Overview
Successor to the N20; the 2.0L turbo modular engine across the BMW range plus MINI Cooper S / JCW.

Supported live-data parameters
Beemuu’s B48 profile reads 22 parameters from the engine control module. 14 are marked verified — sourced from the OBDb DID database and confirmed against the project’s own OBDb-verified community data set. The remaining parameters are seeded from standard OBD-II PIDs or marked as BMW-specific but pending real-car verification.
Each parameter has a query path (either an OBD-II PID like obd:0C or a BMW-specific identifier) and a decoder (how raw bytes are converted to engineering units). The full schema is documented in docs/DECODE_FUNCTIONS.md.

Common B48 faults worth scanning for
B48 inherits the B48/B46 timing-chain wear concern; valve-cover oil-seal failures on early production; high-pressure fuel-pump issues on early B46 SULEV variants.
For BMW-specific fault codes that come up on the B48, see the DTC index — particularly the fuel-pressure, VANOS and boost-pressure families. The project’s community opinions have per-code repair paths contributed by owners and indie technicians.
B48 questions
What is the B48 engine?
Successor to the N20; the 2.0L turbo modular engine across the BMW range plus MINI Cooper S / JCW.
How do I connect Beemuu to a B48 car?
UDS over DoIP is the standard. E-series B48 uses KWP2000 over K+DCAN; F/G-series B48 uses UDS over DoIP via an ENET cable.
What live-data parameters does Beemuu read?
22 parameters; 14 verified, the rest seeded and pending real-car validation.
What should I check first?
B48 inherits the B48/B46 timing-chain wear concern; valve-cover oil-seal failures on early production; high-pressure fuel-pump issues on early B46 SULEV variants.
