E-Sys coding by series
Find your car by its chassis code (F30, G20, F15 and so on): does E-Sys code it, and what to expect.
Find your chassis code
BMW names each generation with a chassis code: E for older cars, F from about 2008, G from about 2015, and I for the i3 and i8. The code is in your car's papers, on many parts lists, and E-Sys shows it after Read FA (for example F030 or G020).
E-Sys codes F, G and I-series cars, plus MINI and Toyota Supra models built on them. Older E-series cars use other tools. In every case you need E-Sys, the PSdZData for your car's I-step, an ENET cable or ICOM and a battery charger.
F-series
Most settings have names in older BMW data, so E-Sys MAX names most F-series settings in English and has the most ready-made changes for them.
| Chassis | Model | Years (about) |
|---|---|---|
| F20, F21 | 1 Series hatchback | 2011 to 2019 |

G-series
BMW never published names for G-series settings, so E-Sys shows most of them as a dot. E-Sys MAX names fewer G-series settings, adds more with every update, and still gives you everything else: ready-made changes where they exist, backups, coding history and the fault scan.
| Chassis | Model | Years (about) |
|---|---|---|
| G20, G21 | 3 Series Sedan, Touring | 2019 on |
| G22, G23, G26 | 4 Series Coupe, Convertible, Gran Coupe | 2020 on |
| G30, G31 | 5 Series Sedan, Touring | 2017 to 2023 |
| G32 | 6 Series Gran Turismo | 2017 on |
| G11, G12 | 7 Series | 2015 to 2022 |
| G14, G15, G16 | 8 Series Convertible, Coupe, Gran Coupe | 2018 on |
| G01, G02 | X3, X4 | 2017 on |
| G05, G06, G07 | X5, X6, X7 | 2018 on |
| G29 | Z4 (and the Toyota GR Supra built with it) | 2018 on |
| G80, G82 | M3, M4 | 2021 on |
The newest generation (for example the 5 Series and 7 Series from 2023) is not on our test list yet. Try it with the free trial before you buy.
I-series
| Chassis | Model | Years (about) |
|---|---|---|
| I01 | i3 | 2013 to 2022 |
| I12, I15 | i8 Coupe, Roadster | 2014 to 2020 |
What changes between series
- The modules. The same feature can live in a different module: the body module is
FEMon many F-series cars andBDCon later F and G-series cars; the head unit can beNBT,NBT EVOorMGU. - The CAFD version. A setting can move or change meaning between versions, so a cheat sheet line for one series may not fit another.
- The PSdZData. Newer cars need newer data. See PSdZData versions and I-steps.
E-Sys MAX's What can I code? list only shows the changes that fit the module and CAFD in your car, so you do not have to sort this out by hand.
Questions
Can E-Sys code my E90 or E60?
No. E-series cars use an older system that E-Sys does not code. E-Sys starts with the F-series.
Does E-Sys MAX work on G-series?
Yes. Everything works on G-series; there are just fewer English names because BMW never published them. Every update adds more, and names you send with Help improve names earn you free licence time.
How do I know if my car will work?
Start the free 3-day trial on your own car. The launcher's setup check and car connection check show what is missing before you code anything.
