You need these things to start:
1) Laptop specially IBM T30 (there are in ebay)
2) Software depend what you need: diagnostic, programming/coding or both. there is a hard drive ready to run with different applications for BMW that sell in ebay for IBM T30 only.
3) Cable OBD INPA (ebay too)
that is it!
