Hi BMW fans,
New here, but not a BMW owner. My wife recently bought a nice used 2019 I3 and I am looking for good info on how to update and maintain it myself. I hope I came top the right place.
The I3 is fun to drive and the engineering behind it is extraordinary. It's so far ahead of its time. The design is very polarising, you either love it or hate it. I had to get used to it, but now I really like it. I know its not the typical BMW so I am curious how many I3 owners come here.
Lots to learn!

| Replacement VDC module help |

Hi all!
Had a boot/trunk full of water in my Japanese imported 2013 M135i (F20) and got the "chassis function restricted" error recently.
ÎŜ†Ä could not communicate with the VDC module. I found the part, removed it and ordered a used part with exactly the same part number (6863502).
Popped it in and got a few errors like "EDC: Control unit is not encoded for this vehicle" etc, so opened up ė-šÝ§ to see what I could do.
Thankfully I found an older SVT backup I had made and was able to restore what I believe is the correct coding/software:
Original part to the car (and now current setting on replacement part):
BTLD_00001C4E_005_002_000
CAFD_000006C6_003_005_000 (or CAFD_000006C6_003_005_001)
HWEL_000006C2_003_001_000
SWFL_00000930_006_016_002 (or SWFL_00000930_006_017_002 or SWFL_00000930_006_018_002)
SWFL_00000931_006_016_002 (or SWFL_00000931_006_017_002 or SWFL_00000931_006_018_002)
Replacement part was (I believe it came from an F10 M5):
BTLD_00001C4E_005_002_000 (the same)
HWEL_000006C2_003_001_000 (the same)
SWFL_00000930_006_016_002
SWFL_00000931_006_016_002
Notably did not have the CAFD file?
Created a TAL file and did cdDeploy and swDeploy on just that module which was successful.
Opened ÎŜ†Ä-P again, had three errors:
482951 - EDC: Vertical acceleration sensor - Front left - zero point not learned
482955 - EDC: Vertical acceleration sensor - Front right- zero point not learned
482A26 - EDC: Valve coil - Front right - open circuit
After following the test plan procedure, I was able to get rid of the first two faults leaving just 482A26.
I guess the obvious thing to do next is check the front right physically, line faults etc, but is there anything I may have done wrong so far?
