The BMW official tool is very expensive, but there are companies that load the software on thinkpad t30 laptops and sell them with china knock-off diagnostic heads for $1400 on ebay, cheaper directly through the companies.

A few members here bought some from yohotech. The only name that I remember off hand that has one and decent experience with it is the member twinspoppa. I'm sure he wouldn't mind giving you some pointers and advise.
