BMW E90 177PS - sebastianfernandes - 18-02-2019

Hello Guys
Sorry, forgive me for being ignorant i am new to chiptuning..
I would like to tune my BMW E90 320D 177PS stage 1
I have kess V5.017 and ktag V7.020 clone with software v2.47 provided on the forum. 
I have read the ID as follows with Kess

HW: 08512498
SW: 1037509478
VIN nr.: WBAPN37090XXXXXXX
SW ver.: 
Spare: 08516775
Engine: 
HW Ver.: 0281016110
SW upg.: 08516820
Installation: 

Its DDE8 8506438 from my understanding and research it happens to be EDC17CP02

My question is 
Should i read it with Kess or Ktag. 
Searching on the web, most say that this ecu needs to be written in boot mode or bdm? So anyway i will have to open the ECU. I need to make a full backup before writing just incase something messes up. Backup with Kess or Ktag?
I will post my file after reading, please if anyone can help me tune it stage 1.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Forgive my ignorance.
Thanks in advance.

what age is the vehicle?

i dont have the list that people use to sometimes tell whether its safe for obd or not by the bosch sw number

i would make full backup by kess, why not, and then work with ktag in boot

safest way

That ECU is tuning protected, check my thread on about the same ECU, read and write via tricore bootmode to be safe

All the best!

I just read the ecu via Kess 2.47 ODB.
Can someone please check if this is good read? So i know my tool is good.
I will then proceed to read it in tricore boot mode.
Many thanks
