BMW Coding Tool v2.5.0 (for use as an alternative to NCS Dummy, or to update DATEN files as new ones become available) - USB Drivers for cable but my BMW Standard Tools and INPA Fxx was 156mb Have a hard time believing this does not violate Bimmerfest policy though.
The BMW Coding Tool 2.50 allows you to update your SP-DATEN (Data files) automatically instead of manually installing the files by copy and pasting files. It will automatically update the files that require replacing and skip the files that you don’t need!

1. We need to set our default folders for NCSExpert, WinKFP, and EDIABAS. See the screenshots.
Set Default NCS Expert folder
Set Default Ediabas folder
Set defualt WinKFP -NFS folder
Shw default folders
Set custom picture
Reset windows size Sort list items
Show NCS Coding only
2. Once all the folders are set we can now proceed to updating our SPDatens. Doing this by selecting the “Select SP-source” button and then select the folder with the new SPDaten. I always like to start with the earliest model which is E36.
Path should look something like mine in the screenshot.
3. Now that we have set our SPDaten path we can now select the “Update SP-daten” button.
Only all NEWER files will be copied from:
…SP-DATEN-ExxECU –> …EDIABASECU
…SP-DATEN-ExxSGDAT –> …EC-APPSNFSSGDAT
…SP-DATEN-ExxSGDAT –> …NCSEXPERSGDAT
…SP-DATEN-ExxDATEN –> …NCSEXPERDATENExx
also update of files in …NCSEXPERDATEN
You will notice the files that have been replaced will display update –> **.** and the ones that did not require updating will displayremain –> **.**
In my case as displayed in the image below all will show remain because I have already updated them.

5. Once completed, repeat the same steps for all base models so from E36 to E89. Congratulations you now have successfully updated your NCSExpert and WinKFP with your latest SP-DATEN files.
