In conclusion:

Super ICOM Pro N3+ BMW diagnostic tool is the winner!
Super ICOM Pro N3+=BWM special inspection+J2534+DOIP+WIFI
ICOM Next is a specific BMW dealer-level diagnostic scanner. The clone uses different solutions, so it cannot scan non-OBDII older models or motorcycles.
It covers the functions of N3, and both adapt the original ICOM solution which allows firmware updates from the ICOM server.
Moreover, N3+ also supports both DOIP and J2534, and has a one-key switch button to freely switch between ICOM software and J2534/DoIP software.
