BMW's ISTA system actually lists that tool now and it does not say the EMF unit has to be turned back by the computer anymore.
It just lists turning the piston back with the 3 pin tool.

Need to get hold of a BMW tech to see if they have changed the procedure at dealerships and now only use the new tool. .
It should save all the time of removing the actuator unit.


Couple makes of the 3 pin tool now available, since Audi also use it
