The vast majority of people need only the Lite Version.
I think the Lite version is more than enough for me. I was just worried that I can't code VO's or read certain ECU's with the lite version; now that you guys confirmed that I can code FDLs and VO's I'm good!

By the way, I went to a dealer two weeks ago and they mentioned that there's another recall on the F30 (Not the FEM recall). They never explained to me what it was but if it requires a software update, I might as well just get the EST Token and patch just in case.

Would it be safe to say that if the dealer updates my car next week, I should be able to use 49.1 to reapply all the coding to my car? Also, do you think it's necessary to just VO code all my ECU's to default before taking it in for service? The M Performance logo on the instrument cluster is probably a big clue that I coded the car.
