Best Scanner/Code Reseting Tool for '05 X5 3.0i?

I also have a BlueDriver, but that only reads basic engine codes on these cars.

I want a code reader I can trust and to get rid of some obsolete warnings (it would be great to be able to program my key functions too, but that would be gravy). I'm looking at the Foxwell NT510 Elite (which seems to be the same as the Schwaben scanner) and I'm aware of ISTA and K+D-CAN software, but that seems to be a bit complicated for my uses.

Can anyone share experience or knowledge on this?

Thanks.

I have the Schwaben which is the same as the Foxwell NT510. I think most of us on here use the Foxwell or variant. They are the easiest to use and most convenient.
