**The Plant Integration Level (PIL) must be checked at your local BMW dealership to order the correct version. They can do this by performing a Key Read and selecting Vehicle Key Data, then Software Integration. Vehicles with a Plant Integration Level older than F020-12-11-500 will receive a new coded DME from Germany - please allow few weeks for shipment. Vehicles with a Plant Integration Level of F020-12-11-500 or newer do not require a new DME - these ship within a couple business days.

So I just got my integration level checked and it is a F020-16-07-507. My car build date was 03/13

Which option do i Need to click on at getbmwparts?
There is option 1:Between F020-12-11-500 and F020-13-03-500 (adds 20Hp and cheapest option)
Option 2: F020-12-03-500 and newer (adds 35hp and $400 more)
option 3: older than F020-12-11-500 (I believe this is for cars that need new DME which mine shouldn't?

Not sure if I am option 1 or 2? I thought the 35HP one was only for cars with EWG and mine is PWG?

Can anyone point me in the right direction since the SA at my dealership didn't even know what PIL was?

I have a 1/13 build and got option 1 (which was all that was available at the time - around May of 2013). The one with 35hp additional is indeed for the cars with EWG.

Yeah I called the parts department (not sure why I didn't think of this earlier) and they gave me the right part number to order it. Thank you for your help though!
