Newbie here, which service reset tool to get?

Hi, I'm new here this is my first post. [wave]

I just got a used 99 323 iS with beautiful 17" Mille rims. This is my first BMW and I love the car. The oil serice light came on and I changed it myself with Mobile 1. Also the SRS (airbag) light just came on. I'm trying to figure out which tool to get. Is there one that reads engine codes; resets oil/service light and check engine codes; and other codes like the SRS? I've seen the tool at bimmerzone (R5/FCXII and R5/SRS) these two would cost me $260. The others I've seen, I think they just reset the lights but don't read the codes. What works out there and what are others using?

Thanks for the reply Tom. I saw that tool (R5/SRS) and understand it will read and reset the SRS code I have, but not the oil sevice code. In addition I would need the R5/FCXII. A tool that would not only reset the oil service light but also read engine codes. I was wondering if anyone has a tool that does it all (besides a very expensive diagnostic computer at the dealer). I saw another tool that looked like it reset all the different codes (SRS, check engine and oil service) but didn't look like it read the codes off to you to look up. What do most use and would recommend....ie...buy both tools, different tool, etc. Thanks. Brian
