If you let us know your intention we can better help. If you are just FDL coding istep is irrelevant other than you need to have psdzdata that is >= to the istep on your car. This will also depend on if the dealer has upgraded the vehicle along the way. Safest bet is to just get the latest version as that will always work. No one will know the istep of your car without connecting to it and looking.

Reason I ask is that the dealer claimed I was at the highest level of software and I called bull since they never updated it. I asked for proof and then received a call back saying they lied. Trying to get the dealer to just apply the latest istep and updates for a few different reasons. So I wanted to be sure I could tell them that 3.57 is what it should be at, not 3.42 or something close to it

I don't know why my dealer puts up such a fuss to update the ECUs

I've tried to get my dealer to update it, but they refuse.

I JUST got my dealer to run the updates. Tell them the battery is discharging too quickly or something along those lines

Got the car back. No differences in the idrive but the car is definitely quicker and shifts better than before! Not sure if it's just in my head or actual fact. Need to do some coding tonight but all seems well! Still not convinced "everything" is up to date but idrive now shows 3.003.001 compared to 2.018.002
