Best Bimmercode OBD module for R55?

Could really find a recommended list anywhere.

Any recommendations when selecting one of the supported OBD plug ins?

I’m a cheap bastard, liking the Veepeak with Bluetooth for $39

I purchased the iCar before they stopped supporting it. No connection issues, works fine but the load times for the modules are slow. Don't know if it is because of the OBD adapter or they are just large files.

Spend the extra few dollars and buy the better one, IMO. And I can be frugal as well.
