I'm an old e30 guy now hankering to spend more on fuel, repairs, maintenance, etc and otherwise re-enjoy the BME experience!

Thanks!!
The size of disk really depends on how many programs you want/need to install. If all you're going to use is BMW Standard Tools (INPA), then a 256GB drive will work. Even if you want to add on ISTA/D, then that same drive should work. ISTA does consume about 20-22GB of space.

Also, I'd go with a supported version of Windows instead of XP. All of these programs will work with Windows 10.
