INPA software for Mac

I'm looking for a download file for INPA for my macbook air. I have a 2008 M3 if it changes anything.

Me too... probably not going to happen.
I think you can run via bootcamp or a virtualized os such as vmware fusion

Not that I have found when I tried looking. I just used boot camp. Worked like a charm

My only issue with BC is that you have to dedicate hard drive space. I have a Macbook Air so space is at a premium.

When I had my car remotely programmed, I was told to install VMWare Fusion (free) and he was able to connect with that. At least with VMWare, I can delete the folder and regain space as needed.

When you got coded all you did was install a virtualizing software that allowed the remote coder to tunnel in to your machine and use its USB port. The BMW tools are all PC based and do not support the Mac environment. The tools are actually BMW software that has made its way into the public's hands so you are stuck with what is there.

So BC would be the only way to use the tools eh.
Sucks

I went and found a cheap little netbook to use. Works great.
