Project story

Beemuu is a free, open-source BMW diagnostic tool. It started as a hobby project to read the fault memory on the project owner’s E90 335i without paying ISTA subscription fees, and grew into a community-maintained diagnostic surface for 10 production engines across E/F/G-series BMWs.

The project ships:

  • A Tauri 2 + Rust desktop app for Windows.
  • A hosted read-only API at api.beemuu.com for the DTC catalog and schematic lookups.
  • A landing site at beemuu.com documenting what the software does, with the project’s open-data DTC and engine catalogs exposed as browseable pages.
  • A community contribution pipeline (TOML in community/) for DTC opinions, testplans, freeze-frame schemas and engine profiles.

Beemuu is licensed under GPL-3.0-or-later. There is no paid Pro tier and no account requirement. The source is on GitHub at github.com/ohgeeceee/beemuu.
