How to install ''BMW Standard Tools'' package
How-to: install ''BMW Standard Tools'' package (Ediabas, INPA, NCSexpert, WinKFP and etc).
I recommend to use only Windows 7 32-bit, because on 64-bit version NCS Expert won't work. In case you won't use it for ECU and modules flashing, you can use Windows 7 64-bit OS.
InstallationINPA- EDIABAS FULL:
1. Delete ALL versions (in case you have old versions or want a new fresh installation) from your computer or rename all INPA-ADS folders. For example ''INPA'' into ''_INPA'', ''EDIABAS into ''_EDIABAS'' and so on.
2. Extract the downloaded file with Winrar to desktop (or anywhere you like). Please note, it will require approx. 50Gb of free hard drive space.
3. From extracted folder ''BMW Programming'' open the folder ''inpa 2012 new'' and copy all files from this folder to any Memory Card, Flash drive (USB stick) or ect, anything with File System - FAT. Please note, it is very important to do this step to avoid error later on during installation steps! From now on futher installation steps will carry on from your Memory Card, Flash drive or ect as I've mention above!
4. Open folder ''Step_1\''. Copy folder EC-APPS onto your disk С:\
5. Run file --> Step_1\NFS\Entpackt\disk1\SETUP.EXE
While installing choose User Mode
Further choose in opening windows:
- Parametrieren einer neuen Konfiguration ohne Daten
- OBD
- Kein API-TRACE
- Kein IFH-TRACE
- Komfort (.IPO)
!!! RE-BOOT YOUR Computer !!!
6. Run file --> Step_2\INSTALL\Instprog.exe (this is the step where you would get an error if you wouldn't use a Memory Card or ect.):

12. Find the file from С:\EC-APPS\INPA\CFGDAT\ named inpa.ini and replace it with the file inpa.ini that is in the root directory of ''BMW Programming'' -->inpa2012 new\inpa V5.01.
13. Open the folder ''BMW Programming'' -->inpa 2012 new\ and find a pdf file ''Inpa Installation Guide''. Open it with PDF reader and perform a 8 and 9 Steps from this guide. Please IGNORE any futher steps from this guide as I already modified necessary files from futher steps.
14. Open folder ''BMW Programming'' -->inpa 2012 new\ and find ''obd.ini'' and ''Ediabas.ini'' files. Copy ''obd.ini'' file to your computer C:\Windows folder. Copy ''Ediabas.ini'' file to C:\Windows\System32 and ''C:\Windows\System32\drivers'' folders.
15. Connect your car to computer with OBD K + Dcan cable you should have and install drivers manually from the folder ''BMW Programming'' -->inpa 2012 new\inpa V5.01\Driver_D_CAN_USB
16. Open your computer Control Panel --> System --> Advanced System Settings --> Environment Variables...
- from ''System variables'' find ''Path'' edit it and rewrite (copy&paste) all value to ''%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\EDIABAS\Bin'' (without '')

17. Run file from ''BMW Programming'' -->inpa 2012 new\inpa V5.01\Driver_D_CAN_USB\OBDSetup.exe
1) RE-BOOT your Computer !
2) Use the following order of using adaptor:
- Plug the Adaptor into spare USB-port
- Plug the Adaptor into OBD-II connector of BMW
- Turn the Ignition into ON position
- Rune the INPA with file С:\EC-APPS\INPA\BIN\inpaload.exe or use shortcut on your desktop created.
- Choose the model of BMW and type of modul you want to see
- Close theINPAand disconnect the Adaptor from USB-port each time you change the car connected
18. To update WinKFP to v5.1.6 open ''BMW Programming'' --> WinKFP v5.1.6 and run ''setup25.exe'' (right-click on it and choose properties, change compatibility to Windows XP). Fallow the steps and tick/choose ONLY WinKFP / NFS, otherwise INPA will stop working!
Good luck!

Fixed! 2011 BMW Z4 headlights not raising to the proper height
Car model and year:2011 BMW Z4 E89
Problem and BMW scanner to use:
the rear axis sensor is very near its low limit. Therefore my headlights are not raising to the proper operating height. When I start the car the lights dip and then return to the default low position. Checked it out withBMW INPAand apparently the rear sensor is reading very low. Jacked up the car and wiggled the rear sensor and confirmed the lights move, as they should.
I have working copies of both INPA andNCS Expert.
Image 1: the sensor output of my car with stock suspension on level ground.
Solution:
03-02-2020 update:
Ordered a new rear leveling sensor.
Installed new read level sensor and now I’m getting a reasonable reading of 2v. Automatic leveling is working correctly, but lights still too low. Before adjusting the mechanical height adjustments, I should mention the following. My headlamp housing was damaged and had to be replaced. The collision center, transferred all my internal components to the new housing and did a less then satisfactory job of aligning my headlamps. Actually, I didn’t think they did any adjustments. So, do I need to reinitialize the AHL via INPA by doing an "activate� Or, since nothing was replaced except the housing, just proceed to mechanically align the lights?
03-10-2020 update:
Now that the sensor is replaced. I manually adjusted the lights to a 4″ drop over 35 feet and all is well.
