If it works mint I will be only looking to do small coding like key folding mirrors and definitely not full diagnostics for fault finding but I may just put up a DIY to make one your self.

You'll want to use a VM with Win98 for DIS.

If you get a EasySYNC USB to CANBUS adapter I can share a program that I've been writing that can read the sensors [that I've decoded so far] and send commands over K-CAN. Interesting stuff.

0x338 is the DTC button press
0x1b8 is the iDrive control knob position sensor
0x0ce I think are the wheel rotation sensors - because it's an 8-bit data packet with four sets of near identical data when the car is in motion: D503 D803 DB03 DA03 at 40 mph
0x2fc are the door sensors

I'm hoping to release this project soon...

8-byte. Working on something else at the moment that it bit based - my mind slipped. Red Bull is wearing off.
