I have a few OBD scan devices but haven't had much luck on my 1999 car. Lots of communication errors. They do show up issues though and enable easy erasure of the fault codes.
I have the full OPCOM setup on a laptop for my Vauxhall but haven't got the BMW software yet.

IIRC the BMW M52 and M54 engines are not fully OBD2 compliant.
I invested in a Peake Research code reader and it works brilliantly. A bit pricey but well worth it. Secondhand ones do come up on ebay as people trade up to newer cars.

Anyone near J9 on the M1 is welcome to pop in and have their codes read
