Bimmercode for the coding for sure. Simple to use in basic mode and just downloads to your phone. You need a Bluetooth adapter to plug into your OBDII port. Get one Bimmercode recommends. I have the VeePeak. As for diagnostics, it depends on how deep into it you want to get. ISTA is the best but the learning curve is steep. I have Bimmerlink, which uses the same adapter as Bimmercode. Bimmerlink is very useful for a lot of things. Reading battery voltage, reading live tranny temps, which is necessary if you change tranny fluid, registering a new battery, reading/clearing all codes from every control unit, etc. But it still does not do many things ISTA can do, like setting the parameters for new fuel injectors. But for the $35 or so US it costs, it's well worth it.
