SOFTWARE CHANGES AFTER PROGRAMMING WITH ISTA/P V3.59.2. INFORMATION Aftersales customer service representatives need to be aware of the following changes that occur to features and functions of the i01 (i3) after reprogramming and encoding by ISTA/P 3.59.2 to integration level 16-07-503. An additional option, in the detail view of the Points of Interest (POI), to display valid charging stations for charging a BMW i vehicle. This list is automatically compiled through BMW i drivers successfully charging their vehicle. This list may now be filtered to include only the 20 charging locations with the most charging outlets in the area. Without the filter, the system will still display up to 5000 charging stations in a 300km (186 m) radius. Vehicles with 5AR Traffic Jam Assistant or 5AT Driving Assistant Plus produced before 07/2014 - Traffic Jam Assistant is now operational up to 60km/h (37 mph). Its operation was previously only available up to 40 km/h (25 mph). The range display has been optimized when the navigation system is activated. Previously, when the navigation system was activated, the range would be reduced because of a difference in the algorithms used by the navigation system and the instrument cluster for range calculation. They have been optimized and the effect on the range display has been minimized.

Drivetrain Malfunction (CCM 794) with Isolation Faults. The Drivetrain Malfunction check control message (CCM 794) is displayed, either while driving or when starting up. The following faults are stored in the vehicle: EME: 22280F and/or 222814 SME: 21F0E3 and/or 21F0E4 When the CCM is present, there are no apparent drivability concerns. After allowing the vehicle to rest and then restart, the CCM typically does not reappear. After allowing the vehicle to rest and then restart, the CCM typically does not reappear. CAUSE The cause of an isolation fault is generally a resistance between HV+ or HV- and the shield/chassis ground, which is below a predetermined threshold. The following procedure addresses these faults when caused by a defect in the cable between the HV battery and the EME, as well as when excess moisture is present inside the REx eMachine. This moisture condenses and triggers the above-mentioned faults after a long REx runtime followed by rapid cooling.

SI B36 04 14 Wheels and Tires January 2016 Technical Service. This Service Information bulletin supersedes SI 36 04 14 dated September 2014. SUBJECT: Rolling Tire Noise . INFORMATION: You will find that driving an i3 is very similar to driving the conventional cars and trucks you're used to drive, but turn the "Readiness" ON and you'll immediately notice the silence from the powertrain. Once you'll pull away, you'll notice how quiet the vehicle is. When directly compared to cars with internal combustion engines, ambient conditions such as wind, rain, rolling noises, and possible stone impacts to the under body or axle parts may seem louder. These louder ambient and rolling noises are inherent in the design of the vehicle and are part of normal driving operation. The emitted sound from the tires is a normal characteristic, inherent in the side tread profile and is not a defect of material or workmanship. In the efforts to lessen this characteristic, a new side tread profile has been implemented into the tire design. These newly designed tires are identified from DOT 2314 onwards."
