I picked up the Foxwell NT510 scanner for $140 off uobdii.com around 2 years ago and it’s great. It can’t code as well as Carly can but it gives a ton of useful info.
I don’t think there’s a good one stop shop if you’re interested in dealing with faults and coding.
I also have Carly. The Carly seems like a work in progress to me–the company while very responsive, seems like it’s still trying to figure stuff out. I’ve written to them multiple times about how to interpret or proceed based on something that did or didn’t happen after using their product. I know people swear by Carly, but I don’t care for it. Since I paid for it, I will still use it however.
From a diagnostics perspective, the NT-510 just seems like a more stable setup. I was in a situation where I needed reset the steering angle, which the Foxwell unit can do, but Carly cannot. So far, so good with regard to the Foxwell unit.
In my experience, I’d probably buy both Carly and an NT-510. If you use one versus and the other and are happy, that’s cool as well.
Take E90 on NT-510 (now it’s NT530).

Foxwell NT530 BMW Speical Functions:
Bi-directional Test:
NT530 allows you to use the scan tool temporarily activate or control a vehicle system or component. With this diagnostic tool, the check of electronic components such as switches, sensors, relays, and actuators is made a simple task. It allows you to recalibrate, adapt or configure certain components after making repairs or replacement. Those test includes but not limited to register battery replacement, CAS reset,CO adjustment, delete transport model, disable/enable key.
Oil Service Reset:
Allows you to reset the service lamps on the instrument cluster.
Electronic Parking Brake Service:
Allows you to perform the service and maintenance of brake systems, including deactivation and activation of the brake control system, bleeding brake fluid, opening and closing brake pads, and setting brakes after disc or pad replacement, on BMW vehicles where electronic brake systems are fitted.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Programming:
Allows you to check the tire sensor IDs from the vehicle ECU and to perform TPMS programming and reset after tires and/or TPM sensors are replaced and/or tires are rotated.
ABS/Airbag Services:
Allows you use the scanner temporarily to activate or control anti-lock brake systems and air bags or components.
Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) Calibration:
Allows you perform calibration of the Steering Angle Sensor, which permanently stores the current steering wheel position as straight-ahead in the sensor EEPROM. On successful calibration of the sensor, its fault memory is automatically cleared.
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Regeneration:
Allows you perform the DPF cleaning to clear the blockage through continuous burning of the particulates captured in the DPF filter. When a DPF regeneration cycle is completed, the DPF light automatically goes off.
Battery Configuration:
This tool can register battery replacement, but the replace battery must be the SAME BATTERY TYPE and CAPACITY with the ORIGINAL.
