Anyone want to Share a Bavarian Technic Tool?

The Bavarian Technic Tool costs about $300 and works on 3 cars.
I propose buying one and splitting with two other board members.

Each person puts up $100. Anytime someone needs it you mail it to the next person.

Any takers?

I think a D-CAN does exactly the same things and works on an infinite amount of cars:

What we really need is the DME/CAS programmer that xdr was talking about. (I believe it's a BMW master tech tool.)

A few guys considered something like this on the VW (or was it Audi?) board a few years ago and ran into the following issues;

Who "owns" the device?

How do you assure that the person who has it will actually send it on? How do you know they are who they say they are.

Who pays for postage? How do they pay? Remember it has to be insured so you're looking at a minimum of $20 each time.
