In order to prime the diesel fuel system on my BMW X3 G01, I need a scanner that is not ISTA.
So far, the only Bimmerlink, Carly, and Carista apps that I've used lack this feature.
Thank you ahead of time.

Both Foxwell and Autel products are compatible with BMW-specific software. I also have an otofix that can run autel.

In case you ever need a scanner like the otofix, it's definitely worth looking into.
Are you going to pay for the updates now

Not yet; I still have a few weeks to figure things out.

I got a Foxwell because of the free lifetime updates, which is one of the reasons.
