Hi, I have the option to buy an iCarSoft BMM V1.0 for what appears to be half price. Looking for advice on what make is best for BMWs or is there any feedback out there for the iCarSoft range? Thanks in advance.

    Hi Sean

    Welcome to the Forum

    Make sure it is coming with either the correct Dongle or OBD lead iCarsoft is good but there are limitations I believe. Foxwell is another that are BMW compatible and very useful.

    I have an old laptop running BMW 1.4.0 plus INPA/ISTA full BMW diagnostic suite BMW 1.4.0 is great for all BMW's up to 2006/7 ISTA/INPA will work on all BMW up to current models both give Dealer level access and with the added advantage that INPA has TIS (Technical Information System) included I have seen laptops for sale preloaded with ISTA/INPA for £150 on Ebay which is a little less than 1 diagnostic session at a dealer

    Good luck

    Dave
