You've tried BMW Scanner 1.4 and INPA so far, but they didn't clear the fault code, so maybe it'd be worthwhile to get a Foxwell NTxx model (I suggest the NT710, or a cheaper one, the NT510 Elite, like mine). Even if it will not clear your code, maybe it would help you out as a proven bi-directional scan tool you can carry in the glovebox, as EODguy does.
