No kidding. Slow, yes. Absolutely. But for the price, hard to spend a better ~$150 to work on your E53 X5 (or any BMW pre F chassis). Recently upgraded my 3 year old NT520pro before selling it on to a new owner. Foxwell seems pretty good about updating their units and are a known commodity on this forum and others. Is INPA/ISTA better to have? Well, yeah. But they are a lot less convenient and can be a pain to set up depending on your level of computer savvy-ness.
