The software I'm talking about is NCS Dummy. I haven't used BMW scanner but it's essentially the same kind of thing. The coding options are presented with checkboxes beside them that you tick off to enable or disable.

This will give you a better explanation than me butchering it and you can decide how user friendly it sounds to you.

That software you can download for free but you would have to install it on a laptop (Which can be a pain in the ass sometimes) and you would need to get an ODB cable from Amazon to plug into your car. The cable is about $40 in our money.

Carly is a bluetooth module you can use with your phone that will read codes and do coding for you. https://www.mycarly.com/plan/?c=CA&b=bmw&n=BMW

It's $85 plus shipping HOWEVER you can get a discount code to use from many youtubers like Samcrac that will knock off a good amount of money.

There's also the ProTool from Bimmergeeks. Does coding and diagnostics but I don't know much else about it.

Either way you look at it you're going to have to spend some money and I personally would rather end up with a tool than having some dude come by and code things for me (assuming you're paying for the coding service).

There's plenty of tutorials and experienced people that can help so I wouldn't be too worried about doing it myself.

Also, what you're wanting to do is very light duty coding from my understanding so the odds of you causing catastrophic damage should be minimal as long as you follow the proper steps.
