I would pay someone to set up ISTA+ for me. Issue is I would have to buy a computer as well as the cable.

I haven't tried it myself, but it should.

I like the idea of ISTA but it requires a little more outlay vs the Foxwell unit.

ISTAP (older programming suite) needs the voltage to be regulated during the flashing process. However, this can also be achieved by connecting another F chassis BMW to the one being flashed using jumper cables. The other vehicle will regulate the voltage in this case. That's my workaround at least. |

You need a battery maintainer (not a tender) capable of 70 amps if you're going to flash. They're not cheap. I picked up a Schumacher Inc 700a on eBay for about $400. They say 70 amps but I've flashed the entire car twice and didn't see more than 30 amps I think being drawn.
For just ista d diagnostics you don't need that, but anything at your own risk. Ista d Esys Enet cable Battery maintainer Icom isn't needed for the f chassis. It will show you the kl15 voltage but at least the versions of the software I used didn't seem to care, and I knew it was good due to the maintainer. Enet worked fine. Ista p is basically Esys for dummies (bmw service department) the only nice thing it offers is running the right service functions after a flash. E.g. disabling the AC compressor run in after flashing ihka. That one got me. |

People don't flash very often so I'm okay idling another car for a bit less than 60 minutes for a full flash. Less expensive to idle a car for an hour than it is to purchase a Schumacher INC device. |

A question about scan tools: I have the Peake R5 which I used on my 2007 E90. Will it read everything on my 2020 F32 or will some of the codes be missing/wrong/unreadable. Trying to decide if I can keep it or need to replace it with the Foxwell. With the Peake Research site gone, and a forum and web search fruitless, thought I'd ask here.

NT510 is a good choice. However, if you intend to use it for Ford, GM, and BMW, it would cost you more for software for each brand. You can take a look at autel MK808s, it's a best bang of the bucks for me. Check this post to see what it can offer you. I often turn to this website for advice before picking up a new scan tool.
