For the adapter, the OBDLink LX for G series is what I got. The MX and MX+ are a waste of money for the BMW as they have features for Ford and GM. If you have a Ford or GM then those would be useful. Otherwise, the added features wont do anything for the BMW
According to the instruction, G series should use diagnostic mode, push start button for 3 times WITHOUT pushing the brake. Engine will not turn on.

I think OBDLink MX is the best because all function in Bimmercode can be used.
