Are any handheld readers able to cover different car makes? Ie laser 5091 type things?
Want a fairly decent (better than the 30 quid ebay lump of junk that hasn't found a anything on anything other than a 98 slk lol) one that doesn't break bank. Not after a Bluetooth carly type, or laptop job, just a handheld that can cover the bmw and my lexus.
Any recommendations or suggestions?

Yes - I bought it to avoid any issues reading BMW codes with generic readers.

I bought it off a forum member on another BMW board - private sale used.
Does what I want - idiot proof fast scanning, resets & clearing codes if needed.
Back in the day this was the default kit for enthusiasts with pre cbs cars - E39 M5 owners swore by these
