It seems hard to find a really capable one that does not have a subscription requirement to keep the features and those subscriptions are hundreds of dollars a year. I have a Launch x431 PAD V, but it is more than you need for this.

I’d look into what the $400 Autel MX808 can do ($100 per year subscription). I used one briefly and then changed to the much more capable $1200 MS906BT that requires an annual subscription that costs as much as the MX808 alone, and then changed to the $2400 Launch x431 PAD V.

The cheapest option that may have the potential is the Foxwell NT510/520/530 with the BMW specific module that you can choose and download for free when registering the product. I have had an NT510 for years and used it when changing diffs and transfer and trans fluids in my E61 535xi but am not sure whether it can do what would be needed on the F90.

I have the fluids for the diffs and transfer case but have not changed them yet so I have just been gathering info on the jobs. I’ll do the trans fluid after I do those.
