For M235i owners as it relates to i-step update and BM3 flashing-
I bought a 2016 m235i a couple months ago. I currently have i-step version F020-16-03-504 (March 2016)
From reading every thread I could find, only some brand new M cars are affected. However, under the ISTA software chart, the F2x, F3x, F80, F82, F83, F87 all take the same F020 software. The M cars that are affected have F020-19-03-5xx versions. Therefore we can deduce if you have your 2014-2016 M235i i-step updated at the dealer today you could end up not being able to flash tune BM3
I have read other flash tuners have gotten around this new round of anti-tuning protection from BMW. PTF/Bootmod3 were working on it months ago but I didn't find any concrete posts about them confirming its worked around yet. I'm going to hold off on bringing it in to the dealer for i-step update until PTF confirms they cracked it as I've decided on them for tuning
