Code Reader ?

Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced good code reader for the E55? Do they come with the code descriptions for all the cars they work for? Or do I need to get those elsewhere?

Thanks.

I have been told that this is a good OBDII to have

Thanks Armani, In the add in the link it says it supports VIN retrieval for 2002 and newer. That feature alone isn't critical for me, but will this scanner work for my 2000 E55 with everything else?

Thanks.

I still have my E55 one if you want it. Its in mint condition and comes with code booklet that explains all the codes. $40 shipped if you want it.

Vrodman - From what I gather it should be able to do the basics... that $40 deal doesn't sound bad at least you know it works

Thanks for the offer. It turns out I just bought one on Ebay over the weekend. Cost me $110 but it looks like a pretty sweet unit. Good luck with selling yours.
