‘Cloning’ with BMW FEM or BDC is a bad word. We would rather say BMW FEM/BDC replacement. What tool can change bmw fem module and will it work as expected?
Autohex II will be the best option to perform FEM/BDC module replacement.
Cloning the full data from one FEM/BDC to another is possible in Autohex II software.
For doing this you need to unlock both original and donor FEM/BDC All the data stored in control like keys, ISN, VIN etc. will be transferred from the original to the donor. This option helps to replace FEM/BDC in the easiest way when the original FEM/BDC is damaged.
1.unlock fem on bench using anyone of the 3 methods
2.Read DME ISN and write to FEM
3.match VIN inside FEM
4.restore Vehicle Order from original FEM or manually
5.do codding for fem from indiv coding
*If mileage is more than car mileage needs to do mileage reset too.

the job is not easy, make sure you have
1.backup Data
2.get secret file
3.maket virgin/reset mileage
4.after Fem is virgin need to write isn what you got early /vin
2.Xhorse VVDI2 or VVDI BIMTool Pro
it is possible to replace with a used one.
Unlock fem old and save backup file fem. unlock fem new and write file backup (write vin/isn ecu)
The ISN from ECU, you need isn save from old and write to new. Try the new vvdi prog bosch ecu cable to not have to open ECU .
eeprom 95128 or 95256 need read and write.
Xhorse VVDI2 it okey. You can replace fem to other fem (both new and used FEM. This is confirmed by Xhorse engineer). Its 15 min.
Yanhua ACDP with module 2 supports
- Repair/Replace FEM Module without soldering/welding
Before replacing the used FEM, please backup the IMMO data first, then write the Immo data using ACDP Mini.
For old module, need to Backup FAFP data and IMMO data (image below).
For new module, need to perform 7 steps to complete replacement
Back coding data
Write FAFP data
Write immo date
Write coding data
Add/learn key
Reset starter motor
Detect vehicle info
Copy data replace: this menu is selected when FEM/BDC module data still can be read

Copy and write key data
Copy and write isn.
Car should start.
Copy VO and write to donor with Esys.
Flash/code with esys.
DONE.
You will have problems with ELV. Easiest way is delete it and code out.
