Starting a new thread on this guys. So the thread Mik325tds referenced for INPA was:

You can try the above link or this one too:

There is a lot of info in this link but just focus on the INPA section.
I actually got stuck getting INPA working for our cars because it turns out the only Daten that contains the correct files for our cars (really D73N57C0 instead of D62M57) is in German. So if anyone gets stuck I have a guy that can get you set up with the correct files. I throw him a few bucks when I get in trouble
As Mik325tds said EDIABAS is BMWs propriatary protocol and INPA works through this so the data you get is the real deal. Tdi, there is so much data this will be your head:
As was also mentioned "the awesome Finish guy" has developed some incredible software to take advantage of all of this data and log it through his program:

And it even gets better....I have been working with him to get more parameters in his software for our cars and he has done an incredible job at it. It is not in his latest release but I think it will be in the next one. I can probably pass the files on here or get him to update his release. But there is now pretty much any boost/turbo related parameter added and working, as well as many others. It has been a lifesaver diagnosing my car, even helped my tuner out a little too
It's a little work to get all of this going but well worth it for real data and diagnosis (just the price of a D-can cable). If you use it and like it throw him a few bucks so he can continue updating it!
