Yea your not going to get what you need by checking codes that way. You either need a BMW specific code reader, INPA or ISTA. I can assure you there's more than what is being shown on the screen.

If you had INPA all it needed was an update to use with F series. I always recommend ISTA with an ENET cable for troubleshooting. But you can get on Amazon and find a BMW specific for under $100.

You'll need to get a ENET cable that F series uses. You have the cable for e series. You can download ISTA+ from online if you Google it. There's a site that gives you everything you need to get it going for free.
