The complexity is changin a lot from one to another

Not exactly the only issue (also moonroof problem, some lights and driver seat heater) but the only one i'm afraid to not being able to fix myself.

Haven't checked the codes, i have only a standard odb bluetooth module. Is that enough to pull them all or need a more specific software (ista?)
Can it even tell about a ps system leak..
Correct, ATF is also the fluid used in the power steering pump.

Check the power steering fluid level and look at the hoses under the housing.

There's a good chance it might be leaking from there.

I use a cheap Amazon bluetooth reader and Torque plus to pull codes when I don't want to break out the laptop and ISTA and it works just fine for most things.

ISTA/INPA is the factory BMW diagnostic software that will pull all the codes just like at the dealership.

Not all of the aftermarket devices can read all the codes but the bluetooth should give you a good idea of what's going on.
