Using an iDrive command, back up your driver profiles to an empty USB flash drive inserted into the USB port in the center console. After the backup has completed, plug this flash drive into a USB port on a computer and open the *.mpd file on this flash drive in a text editor. This is a human-readable XML file. The value of the i-step tag is the integration level. This is the i-step entry for our 2019 BEV:
<i-step>I001-18-11-547</i-step>
I001-18-11-547 indicates a November, 2018, integration level.

Huh interesting indeed, keep us updated!
I didn't have heat for 2 Months, my car was at the dealership to diagnose the error for about one week. And they told me the resistance heater needs to be changed. (it had an error code) because if the giant price tag - I declined the service and wondered why I need resistance heating with a heatpump.
Now the second day after the 6X HVAC reset - nice hot air driving at 50F outside.
I even heard the heatpump starting when I left the garage. Which didn't do anything before.
yeah my 14k i3 also had the heat pump replaced by dealer. Picked up a used one for 100 bucks for future failure. wonder if we can retrofit tesla octavalve heat pump....
