diagnostic software-scanner that is still available?

i now have 2 e90 and an f30 i have to keep alive. the grandkid just bought a nice clean 09 335i sedan. airbag light and abs light. his ma has a 15 320ix and his girlfriend an 11 or 12 328i convert. apparently the INPA is extinct. is there a diagnostic reader or cable and software that can interface with these cars beyond P0020 code? or can INPA or ISTA still be found?

I suggest BimmerGeeks Protool. It's been superior to any other App.
The only thing more hard core to it is hauling a laptop and a cable around with the BMW software installed.
But for a quick take-your-phone-out and start digging, Protool.
