Readers for the main ECU are cheap. If you want something to read and clear fault codes from other control units like the gearbox or ABS then costs go up considerably ! AutoEnginuity (?) do a computer based package for BMW's that is about £400 that clears everything and does loads. The £50/£100 readers just seem to do the main ECU.

Why not just spend around £80 on BMW DIS/SSS ?

Guy called BMWTEQ, also on youtube.

Software is perfectly fine for home use, infact it's more than adequate,, infact it replaces the dealer altogether tbh, works flawlessly and yet to find a glitc.
