Apart from the obvious difference of the 20 pin plug being for the earlier models. My E39 is a '98 model, and I should therefore get the 20 pin tool.

On reading my hand book for the car, it appears that it also has an indicator in the shape of a clock that warns you to change the brake fluid, similar to the clock on the later tool.

My question is this: what is the extra button for on the later reset tool - the yellow button? Is it for the brake flud indicator?

Must I get the later tool with the adaptor?

Just buy a generic cable that is both 16 pin and 20 pin, and get INPA, far more flexability, same cost.

Out of interest, my E65 has a brake fluid change warning, its actually on at the moment
