I just received BMW scanner V1.4 (software version 1.4.0.7 – current from the P.A. website). It was ordered from Ebay for $80. Took a while to understand how to correctly install drivers (INF file needs a minor correction). It helped to diagnose and resolved my issues with LCM nicely.
One issue I noticed that gets me worried about quality of the software: Aux. ventilation is set to 35:16:00 (in place of time) right after initial scan of the modules.
