What is the most recent dealer level diagnostics?

[Crazy27]

Hi guys/girls,

I'm looking for BMW dealer level diagnostic tool/software to add to my shop whilst getting some new bits. I will not only scan my own car, as you can imagine my shop needs a great tool to serve the public efficiently. I think INPA seems alright but never had any experience with it, I don't think Carly or any other simple tool is able to provide any good for my shop... Can you please help me with this?

Also, should I get some timing tool as well? I found SEALEY has some timing and testing tools for bimmers but what type of timing tool should I get? Newer ones (from my14) often require manual timing too? I may just be talking nonsense, apologies haha just trying to get some info.

Thanks!

ISTA D and P is the current dealer software as far as I’m aware. Freely available online and on eBay. Needs an ICOM or the newer version to work at its best.
