Foxwell NT510 Elite Scanner for $113.60 on Ancel's eBay

BlueMyWad · 03-02-2026, 11:57 PM

I was looking for a good scanner and saw the Schwaben by Foxwell had good reviews. Found that the Foxwell NT510 does offer the BMW modules and is cheaper than the Schwaben one.

eBay is running a promotion for 20% off certain items and the NT510 happened to be one of the items. The promotion will run until 3/15/2026. Just wanted to post in case anyone was looking to get the scanner for their car/cars.

I had the original Foxwell 510 that is no longer supported and it was good for a number of years. Not a bad entry level bi directional tool with BMW specific software option. There is a fancier mini tablet version that also looks OK but is much more expensive. I have moved on to professional grade tools that have annual subscriptions that cost a lot more than the basic entry level tools. Factor in subscription prices if moving up because the tool loses function if you do not pay.
