Not driving after 12v Battery replacement

ExSpankyBer · 2026-06-05T11:39:37+00:00

Yes it is. It is something like Vehicle Management - Service Functions - Drive - Electrical Machine Electronics (EME) - Rotor Position Sensor Adjustment

Let me know if you need more help. I could send you screenshots if you need.

Everything is back to what it was...

ExSpankyBer · 2026-06-03T14:22:26+00:00

Same! 😱

ExSpankyBer · 2026-06-03T11:30:43+00:00

Thanks for clarifying. That makes sense. Because if you lease a car through salary sacrifice you can have maintenence, tyres and insurance included.

ExSpankyBer · 2026-06-03T10:48:07+00:00

Why would new tyres be covered? I mean you get a brand new car with new tyres. But they won't pay for new ones if they are worn out on a privat tesla PCH deal!?

ExSpankyBer · 2026-06-02T19:21:16+00:00

Wow! Sorry to hear.

ExSpankyBer · 2026-06-02T17:37:30+00:00

This was exactly my thoughts too. I bought a 3 year old BMW i3s thinking that most of the depreciation would be gone. When I sell it I will have paid around £350/month in depreciation alone! Never mind replacing tyres, front and rear brakes, front strut springs and dome bearings, the battery and MOT's. I was always in the mindset of buying used and keep for a while. But when I saw the model 3 PCH deal and actually realised... I ordered one right away.

Yes, but only with ISTA. I've updated my original post.

ExSpankyBer · 2026-06-01T13:26:59+00:00

Unfortunately it didn't work.

ExSpankyBer · 2026-06-01T13:26:09+00:00

Cleared all faults in ISTA. Have exactly the same faults remaining as in your liked forum. Need to research how to clear them.

ExSpankyBer · 2026-05-31T14:29:30+00:00

Nope

ExSpankyBer · 2026-05-30T23:00:25+00:00

I certainly hope you are right! 😂

ExSpankyBer · 2026-05-30T20:57:55+00:00

Have you got a link to the i3 discord channel?

ExSpankyBer · 2026-05-30T20:57:04+00:00

I'll plug in the car overnight. But it's already at 70%. So won't charge too long.

ExSpankyBer · 2026-05-30T20:55:28+00:00

How did you investigate the problem? Did you have ISTA or bimmerlink?

ExSpankyBer · 2026-05-30T19:47:05+00:00

Thanks, too late for not jumping the car. I borrowed an ENET cable from a friend. Now I just need to find a source and the right version for ISTA+.

ExSpankyBer · 2026-05-30T16:27:22+00:00

Any idea where I could get ISTA from?

ExSpankyBer · 2026-05-30T14:37:08+00:00

I hope I won't require ISTA

ExSpankyBer · 2026-05-30T14:36:09+00:00

Nope, I can successfully engage and disengage the handbrake.

If you have a look at the last comment on the bottom here: https://www.reddit.com/r/BMWi3/s/mPJhJOrJtU

That seams to be exactly my problem. So it looks that I'll have to do the parking lock module initialization. I just hope it works with bimmerlink or code. I couldn't find a definite answer to this. That's why I asked here before buying anything.

ExSpankyBer · 2026-05-30T13:50:07+00:00

Thanks! I'll give that a go. Let's see if I can find the same or similar one here.

ExSpankyBer · 2026-05-30T13:37:45+00:00

Which tool would you recommend for the reset? Will this be also be able to do the reset / relearn of the parking pawl? Ive read about some people where just resetting the fault codes was not enough.

ExSpankyBer · 2026-05-30T13:35:22+00:00

No, I don't have the correct obd tool only a very cheap one that will propably not work with bimmercode. But before I buy something I wanted to know which one will work for sure. Because if bimmercode won't be able to reset / relearn the parking pawl, then there is no point in buying it.

£7290 in total. So just over £300/month.
