If you need Cloud Diagnosis, you’ll also need to install a BMW USB Drivers which can be downloaded free from vxdiag website.

I use ISTA software of my own.  Software in HDD format is available at vxdiagshop.com as well.
Run ISTA+ to perform diagnosis and programming

Diagnostic is quick. Programming is slower than ICOM. For less than 200 bucks, it beats the price.
