For all the modules the only real option is DIS, INPA and you need the ADS cable which as you rightly remember requires a serial cable. The E36 uses "L Line" protocol and despite lots of searching I haven't found a way around the serial port problem.
Thanks Mark I was onto cable shack and they said the same ,,so I think I'll source a laptop first and go from there

That should sort you, I used it for INPA with my E36, in fact I've the cables somewhere around too. Couldnt see any reason for a physical serial port, those cables do usb-serial anyway. I was primarily interested in ECU codes, so not 100% on all the modules.
