One or more of the following faults can be stored in the Digital Motor Electronics (DME):
- 130E20 - Intake camshaft: Angular offset to the crankshaft out of tolerance
- 130104 - VANOS, intake: Control fault, camshaft jams
- 130715 - VANOS, intake: Control fault, camshaft jams
- 130108 - VANOS, intake: Control fault, position not reached
- 130713 - VANOS, intake: Control fault, position not reached
- 130F20 - exhaust camshaft: Angular offset to the crankshaft out of tolerance
- 130308 - VANOS, exhaust: Control fault, position not reached
- 130714 - VANOS, exhaust : Control fault, position not reached
- 130304 - VANOS, exhaust : Control fault, camshaft jams
- 130716 - VANOS, exhaust: Control fault, camshaft jams
- 13070B - VANOS, intake, cold start: not controllable
- 130709 - VANOS, intake, cold start: Position not reached
- 13070C - VANOS, exhaust, cold start: not controllable
- 13070A - VANOS, exhaust, cold start: Position not reached
CAUSE
A software error in the Digital Motor Electronics (DME).
CORRECTION
Update the vehicle software using ISTA 4.
PROCEDURE
For conditions that are similar to the situation described:
- Perform diagnosis with the latest version of ISTA
- Program the vehicle using ISTA 4 to the appropriate level shown below:
The following I-levels are contained in ISTA 4.10.1x or higher:
| Model | Target I-level |
|---|---|
| F22 (2 Series Coupe) | F020-18-03-511 or higher |
| F23 (2 Series Convertible) | |
| F30 (3 Series Sedan) | |
| F31 (3 Series Sport Wagon) | |
| F32 (4 Series Coupe) | |
| F33 (4 Series Convertible) | |
| F34 (3 Series Gran Turismo) | |
| F39 (X2) | F056-18-03-512 or higher |
| F48 (X1) | |
| I12 (i8) | I001-18-03-511 or higher |
The following I-levels are contained in ISTA 4.10.2x or higher:
| Model | Target I-level |
|---|---|
| G01 (X3) | S15A-18-03-520 or higher |
| G12 (7 Series) | |
| G30 (5 Series Sedan) | |
| G32 (6 Series Gran Turismo) |
Note that ISTA Next will automatically reprogram and code all programmable control modules that do not have the latest software.
Always connect a BMW-approved battery charger/power supply (SI B04 23 10 ).
For information on programming and coding with ISTA, refer to CenterNet / TIS / Technical Documentation / Programming and Diagnostics / Programming Documentation

If you are using a Main labor code for another repair, use the Plus code labor operation 00 00 556 instead of 00 00 006.
Refer to KSD2/AIR for the corresponding flat rate unit (FRU) allowances.
During the same workshop visit, if a vehicle also requires another Technical Campaign or repair that also includes programming and encoding the control units, the programming procedure may only be invoiced one time.
Vehicle Programming and Encoding
- The programming procedure automatically reprograms and encodes all vehicle control modules which do not have the latest software i-level. If one or more control module failures occur "during" this programming procedure:
- Please claim this "consequential" control module-related repair work under the defect code listed in this bulletin with the applicable KSD2/AIR labor operations.
Please explain this additional work (The why and what) on the repair order in the claim comments section.
- For control module failures that occurred "prior" to performing this programming procedure:
- When "covered" under an applicable limited warranty, claim this control module-related repair work using the applicable defect code and labor operations (including diagnosis) in KSD2/AIR.
