what is difference between BMW GT1, BMW OPS & BMW OPPS ?

actually the three tools BMW GT1, BMW OPS and BMW OPPS share the same software, but the hardware is different make them with different usage. Does anyone knows the difference between the three ?

If you want a tool that can scan all bmw autos, you can use the three together - BMW GT1 + BMW OPS + BMW OPPS

Yes, the BMW GT1, OPS, OPPS all share the same software, the difference is in the hardware, therefore have different functions.
- GT1 is good for old type cars before 2005, it has no optical cable for new car diagnosis;
- OPS is good for newer vehicles, 2005-2010 year, so is OPPS

More details:
OPPS has been designed for encoding, individualising and programming ( CIP) via the Software Service Station (SSS) and envisaged for use as part of the BMW diagnostic system (DIS) from DISPlus and Group Tester One (GT1). It is intended for testing and programming tasks from the E65 series, taking the place of the diagnostic head.

OPS is intended for rapid programming of control units.
When operated at the SSS, no diagnostic or technical measuring pro-cedures are possible, as no measuring technology is incorporated; in this instance, OPPS / OPS is used predominantly for programming control units (flashing). Communication with the vehicle can be performed both via the MOST and via the OBD interface. The OBD interface is required for the power supply to the OPPS / OPS and has communication properties via which the vehicle can be identified and the data to be programmed can be determined. From CIP version 7.0, it is possible to delete fault code memories via OPPS / OPS.

OPPS has more appeal to workshop techs when doing flashing

if anyone has interest pls PM me am pleased with further communications

Ya , In a word, GT1 is for old BMW models before E65 with diagnostic and programming functions via OBDII or 20pins socket; OPS is mainly for models after E65 which seems for newer models via OBDII socket and fiber cable (OPS comes with DIS for diagnosis & coding and SSS for programming).

For me cost is the main difference between those BMW cars.
