Are you aware that this is a Toyota forum?

The port in the cabin is obd2. The one under the hood isnt. Its a bmw specific diagnostic connecotor that will likely tell you information that the obd2 wont. If you want to look into it in more detail I'd suggest you post in a BMW forum. This is likely all the help you'll receive here.
