How to find BMW F-series current I-level with ENET E-sys coding cable

What is an I-level (integration level)?

The I-Level (German: I-stufe) is the Integration Level of your car, which represents a package of firmwares for all your modules, and it corresponds to the version of ISTA/P last used to program your vehicle.

The I-level is a set of numbers: like E89X-11-09-410. The first part represents the chassis group, which is followed by the year and month of the release and a build number for that release. So, E89X-11-09-410 would mean a E80/E90, 09/2011, version 410.

BMW owners will be able to check/find their car I-level with BMW coding cable, like BMW ENET E-SYS coding cable.

Equipment:

ENET (Ethernet to OBD) Interface Cable, like €13 in obdtool.co.uk
