Post 2001 BMW used ISO EOBD standard.
Think some of ELM unit might?
The only way to be sure is try some 'freeware obd software'

Best of luck

Cheapo Tech 2 software does ask you for the car model and year, etc. Implying it's GM specific.

There are probably equivalents around for the BMW, or get a cheap generic code reader if reading engine codes is all you're after.

Reason I don't think cheapo will work on beemer is because Omega uses 4 diag lines, and the cheapo has a multiplexor in front of the MAX232 chip to select relevent line.
