If you are a BMW car owner, you need a solid BMW scan tool to check out what happened when your BMW car has problems. So here lists out 4 BMW Code Readers for reference.

Price: £137.00 (UK ship No Tax)
It can be used without having to connect it to a computer which makes it efficient for everyday use.
With this BMW OBD1 and OBD2 Scanner, you can easily access your cars since it is made simple and user-friendly.
The FOXWELL NT510 is probably the best BMW scan tool for use with non-BMW cars. However, you have to pay for the software to use the tool with cars that aren’t BMWs. Despite that, you can use it with Ford, GM, Toyota vehicles, and any other car makes you can think of once you’ve bought the right software patch.
Pros:
– Fast running speed and communicating speed since it comes with better IC and newest PCB.
– Share the same vehicle coverage and functions as nt530.
– With one free car software
-Full-system diagnostics available
Cons:
-The silicone buttons are not as good as the Keypad that nt530 has.
-You need to pay for the software patches for you to use this scan too fully if your car is not a BMW.
