Besides the tools the dealer technicians use such as the GT1, unfortunately no.

But that should change by summer as I know of at least one, and rumors of others, that will make a PC based software and cable. This will be used to read and reset all codes (even non-OBDII), read and reset all adaptation channels and force many of the internal diagnostic tests.

The one I have personally spoke to is AutoEnginuity. They have a product in the works specifically for the N54 engine and will provide similar functionality to the other product with OEM support:

They said they should be ready by late spring but like with planned product releases, I suspect it will be later. The expected pricing will be about $500 which includes the cable and adapter.

Yes, it is expensive and I don't expect this to be in everyone’s tool chest. But it will be invaluable to many down the road.
