What is the best code/diagnostic reader for the Z4?

I've done a lot of reading and there are quite a few options, and I'm wondering which unit I should buy. I work on all my cars myself and recently set off an SRS light in my '03 Z4 2.5i.

So far, I've read of these units:
1) Peake SRS tool - One trick pony (Can anyone verify this works on a Z4?)
2) Peake Code reader - Reads codes, but nothing special compared to generic units.
3) Auto Ingenuity ($450?) - A full-fledged code and live values scanner
4) CarSoft - Quick search leads me to believe this does not work on Z4?
5) Bavarian Technic ($750) - Pricey unit but can apparently do it all?

What is the current state of affairs? There's no way I'm paying a dealer $100 to reset an SRS code.
