Diagnostic scan tool

I’m looking for a scan tool to help me read codes and clear them when needed. Can anybody suggest something decent that is not too expensive?

Bimmerlink + compatible OBD2 reader is probably your best bet.

They also just added the ability to do Car Play using a wi-fi OBD2 adaptor.

I have bimmerlink and a veepeak bluetooth adapter. It connects but is very limited on functionality. I also tried an enet cable and adapter for my iphone. It would not let me clear codes either. An I also have a cheap scan tool that does not do much on this car. I thought maybe they locked the ecu so well I couldn't reset codes. I'll try bimmerlink again.

you can change any coding in the car with this, but make sure you backup and don't have itchy fingers, because changing any setting is too easy to do. i'm scared to use it!

but it's very powerful tool.

I got bimmerlink working with the enet cable and was able to scan and clear the codes.
