Diagnostic tool

///M (42K miles) misfired and went into limp mode. Turned it off/on and runs fine until I get on it. My Indy's (retired) scan tool did not find any codes. Drove 70 miles to the BMW only to find out Misfire cyl 1/3 > replacing the plugs next step.

Plugs not covered under BMW extended service plan

I am bit bummed as I could have saved myself the time and the diagnostic cost at the dealer

What do you all recommend as to a diagnostic tool that works on a 2012 X5M as well as a 2007 530i?

Thanks
