Hi all do I need to do a software update on my 2017 rex only had car for 1 month
Yes, search for "SIB 32 11 19 STEERING ASSISTANCE SPORADIC REDUCTION: EPS SOFTWARE UPDATE EXT LTD WTY COVERAGE". The general warranty has been extended to 10 years/120k miles to fix this electric power steering bug. If the integration level of your i3 is higher than or equal to I001-17-11-500 and lower than I001-20-03-520, it would qualify for this warranty system software update at no cost. Just complain to a BMW dealer about an intermittent loss of power steering. Otherwise, you'd have to pay a BMW dealer to upgrade the system software. This system software update would also fix a problem with the telematics module: SIB 84 09 22 SERVICE ACTION: PROGRAMMING THE TELEMATICS CONTROL UNIT - 3G SUNSET.Possibly. There was an October 2019 update that addressed an intermittent power steering issue.

The only way I know without having to have any special equipment other than a USB flash drive is to back up your driver profile to a USB flash drive using an iDrive command in the "Driver Profiles" section. Then mount the USB flash drive's file system on a computer and navigate from the "BMWiData" folder to the "MobileProfile" folder. Open the "<name>.mpd" file in a text editor. The value of the "i-step" tag is the integration level. In our 2021 i3 manufactured on 19 March 2021, the integration level is I001-22-11-550 (November, 2022):How can I check to see if my 2017 is in that range?
