    What is the cheapest scan tool that works with the ABS for this car. I would like to be able to program driver options as well.

    There are not too many options to program if I remember correctly.

    PO of my car had the alarm chirp disabled, DRLs turned off and I think that's it. He works at a local BMW Dealership so it was nothing for him to get done.

    Inpa (another one I can't remember) are supposed to be highly configurable and free to download I believe.

    I haven't got around to doing it myself honestly.

          Did you just replace the button face or how much needs to be replaced?  I need to order the parts to fix my light up key for my e36.  It has been broken as long as I have owned it.

            Also curious. If you got a new key reprogramming them is easy if the car cooperates.

              I bought a set of these

              http://www.ebay.com/itm/261201404201

              I found a good write up on bimmerforums on how to do it. 

              I cut the fake led end off and had to trim the top button to clear the chip in the key. The battery does not need to be removed so I did not have to re-initialize the key. I am happy how the buttons turned out. The lock button would not work with the old worn buttons. When I do my other key I will post a few more pics on what I did.

                  I did that on my e46 key, my buttons were smashed into the key and all kinds of sticky. New buttons FTW! If only my key battery would charge in my ignition... battery dies every few weeks.

                    I will look at my Bentley some time this weekend to see how the power is distributed to the key charger. They can't be that much different in that respect.

                      I took some pictures of my second key repair. 

                      It can be found here.
