You can flash individual ECU (e.g. HUD / Kombi) with E-Sys.

My 2016 F80, build date 5/16, was on F020-16-03-504.
Dealer updated yesterday to F020-18-11-531. Feels good, all 3 steering settings and EDC settings are now usable, before could only use comfort for each. Power feels really strong throughout the powerband. I was just getting used to the car so hard to tell exactly how different everything is. |

Grab a USB key, plug it into the car. On iDrive go to car settings > profile and export your profile to the USB key.
Put the USB key into a PC or Mac, open the folder it creates and open the file in the folder with notepad. The iStep version number is embedded in the text you will see. |

Confirming: Settings > Profile > Export on iDrive 4.2. I guess iDrive 5/6 will be different? |

I just did this and it worked for me. My car came with ID5, which I coded to ID6 Lite. To export the driver profile it is under My Vehicle -> Profiles.
I opened up the file in a text program and the i-step was close to the top of the document

So I'm handing in my '16 M3 and hopefully will take possession of a '18 M3 ZCP. I haven't driven one yet but I'm confident I'll like it as much as my '16 if not more.
I recall back when I got my '16 there was a lot of people updating their firmware to get improvements to traction, ride, etc. That coincided with the introduction of the ZCP which seemed to improve things, at least from what the road tests said. Did anyone ever determine if the later model 16's actually got the same improvements that the ZCPs were getting? In the back of my mind, I always thought that the ZCP improvements could have simply been the same firmware updates that were given to all newer models. Has there been any definitive answer? |
