Can you update I-Step with E-Sys?

Is this possible if the dealer is unwilling to update your car? Or do we need an ICOM interface and related software?

It can be done with E-Sys, by flashing every module, and updating VCM with the new I-Step used for the flashing.

I wouldn't recommend it though. If doing the whole car, it is better to run a full Measures Plan with ISTA/P and ICOM.

I've seen you mention an E-Sys ECU Flashing Guide. Did you ever publish that? I can't seem to locate it. I am looking to flash my KOMBI ECU as I don't have the BMW LOGO that I can change to the M Performance logo.

If you never published it due to it being unsuccessful, then I'm gonna go in for a full Measures Plan next week.

The issue back then was E-Sys 3,18,4. Since E-Sys 3.22.5 was released, it works. I never published a Guide, but if you are interested, PM me, and I'll explain the process.
