Addendum
ADDENDUM TO OWNER'S MANUAL
We wanted to provide you with some updates
and clarifications with respect to the printed
BMW Owner's Manual. These updates and
clarifications will supersede the materials con-
tained in that document.
1. Where the terms “service center,” “the ser-
vice center,” “your service center,” “service
specialist,” or “service” are used in the

the terms refer to a BMW dealer's service
center or another service center or repair
shop that employs trained personnel that
can perform maintenance and repair work
on your vehicle in accordance with BMW
specifications.
2. Where the text of the Owner's Manual con-
tains an affirmative instruction to contact a
“service center” or “your service center,”
we wanted to clarify that BMW recom-
mends that, if you are faced with one of the
situations addressed by that text, you con-
tact or seek the assistance of a BMW
dealer's service center or another service
center or repair shop that employs trained
personnel that can perform maintenance
and repair work on your vehicle in accor-
dance with BMW specifications.
While BMW of North America LLC, at no
cost to you, will pay for repairs required by
the limited warranties provided with respect
to your vehicle and for maintenance under
the Maintenance Program during the appli-
cable warranty and maintenance coverage
periods, you are free to elect, both during
those periods and thereafter, to have main-
tenance and repair work provided by other
service centers or repair shops.
3. Where the Owner's Manual makes refer-
ence to parts and accessories having been
approved by BMW, those references are
intended to reflect that those parts and

North America LLC. You may elect to use
other parts and accessories, but, if you do,
we recommend that you make sure that any
such parts and/or accessories are appropri-
ate for use on your vehicle.

“Do not perform work/bulb replacement on
xenon headlights,” that text should be dis-
regarded and in lieu thereof the following
text should be read: “Xenon headlight work
or replacement can cause serious and fatal
injuries.” In the text that follows, where it
reads: “[h]ave any work on the xenon light-
ing system … ,” the following words should
be read as preceding that passage: “It is

turer of your vehicle recommends that you
have the battery registered on your vehicle
by a service center to ensure that all com-
fort functions are fully available, and that
any “check control” messages of these
comfort functions are no longer displayed.

What is BMW Rheingold ISTA ?

What is BMW Rheingold ISTA ?

ISTA is a workshop system that contains BMW AG Data and Information. ISTA stands for Integrated Service Technical Application. Way back when, during the initial development of this tool, BMW used DIS (Diagnostics Information System), and as the programs evolved and due to the nature of the file naming conventions utilized by BMW, the workshop system became known as Rheingold in the enthusiast world. Rheingold in actuality is the folder that contains the main application and data. Rheingold became ISTA-D (D stands for Diagnostics) and BMW’s programming application (not discussed in this document) used the same nomenclature, ISTA except with a P (for programming) or ISTA-P.

BMW Rheingold ISTA Installation Guide:

BMW ISTA installation method may differ from source and version. This method is only for reference.But different version installations are similar,if your version is another this document is also helpful.

Porcedures of How to install BMW Rheigold ISTA:

Step 1:Download and run unblock.reg BEFORE downloading anything else. Then REBOOT the computer, this is a critical step.

Step 2:Install everything in Prerequisites folder, only if you don’t have a previous Rheingold installation. For 64-bit Windows, install both vcredist x32 & x64 from Microsoft, if not already installed.

Step3:Install the following – you can get both from Microsoft.

• Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013
• .NET Framework 4.6

Step4: Download Rheingold.7z using MegaSync or JDownloader. Once downloaded, check whether“Rheingold.7z” is blocked. If it is, unblock it. Right click on the file, go to Properties and if files are blocked, then you will see the unblock button as in the picture below:

Step 5: Extract Rheingold.7z using 7zip ONLY. You may have to give admin privileges for extracting. Location doesn’t matter, but preferred location is C:. If extracting to this location, you will need admin privileges for 7zip before extracting the file. To avoid future issues with admin rights etc. you can also extract this file to the root of a secondary drive, for e.g. D:

Step 6: Assuming you extracted the file to the location suggested above, create desktop shortcut from“C:RheingoldTesterGUIbinReleaseISTAGUI.exe”. If not, create the shortcut from the location you extracted the files to.

Step 7: Run the following registry fixes, depending from your OS:

• From the Mega site, download and run the following two registry files:

Ista-prog-x64.reg

Ista-prog-x86.reg

• Also run the following registry fixes from the C:Rheingold folder (scroll all the way to the bottom to see these files):

Step 8: Run ISTAGUI shortcut from your desktop as administrator.

Step 9: When prompted for license, copy the license key from the “rheingold-license.txt” located in “C: Rheingold”

Step 10:If/When prompted for dealer ID, enter “1” and ignore following warnings. ISTA+ will close.

Step 11:Run again ISTAGUI shortcut from your desktop as administrator and verify the databases in Settings >Version tab in ISTA/D If you encounter start/running issues, delete the “Rheingold” folder from “C:”,run “RCleanerV4.4.exe” as administrator and start again from step 5.

PROGRAMMING NOTE:

ISTA+ PROGRAMMING is only for F, G and I Series, Mini and Rolls Royce cars

ISTA-P will contain all chassis data until around August 2017, then BMW plans to phase out all BN2020 vehicle data in ISTA-P. So ISTA-P will be to program E-series only and ISTA+ will program everything else. Programming is now enabled in the Registry, so no changes to ISTAGUI.exe.config file are required.

ISTA+ PROGRAMMING WITH ENET WILL NOT WORK. YOU NEED ICOM INTERFACE.

INTERFACE CONFIGURATION AND VERIFICATION WITH ISTA+

The following information is freely available on the internet, however, has been consolidated here to help the DIYer in interface configuration (Rheingold, ISTA-D and ISTA+ all are all simultaneous and are used interchangeably. For the purposes of this document, we will only use 3 interfaces, K+DCAN, ENET and ICOM. Additional configuration of these interfaces is not discussed here. Refer to other publicly available information on the internet or specific forums.

DIAGNOSTICS WITH ISTA+

STARTING THE ISTA+ WORKSHOP SYSTEM

How to start the ISTA workshop system:

Double click the ISTA+ icon in the Windows desktop created during the installation process above. After ISTA is started, the start screen appears. A list of news is displayed. You can set the display period in the Administration.

Once you have read the “Note on using ISTA”, close the dialog using the button “Next”. You can open a process from the start screen: Select the “Operations” menu.

SELECTING A VEHICLE WITHOUT CABLE CONNECTED TO CAR

Method 1:

You can enter your short VIN (Last 7 of the VIN) and be able to pull relevant procedures or troubleshooting instructions without actually connecting to the car. To access this feature, launch ISTA+ and click on Operations tab (1). Then enter the short VIN into the VIN box (2). Then click on Accept (3). The Accept button will become active only when a VIN number is entered. You can explore features specific to your car from here.

Method 2:

Follow the steps as in the picture below:

SELECTING A VEHICLE VIA “READ OUT VEHICLE DATA” WITH CABLE CONNECTED TO CAR

After you select the “Operations” menu from the start screen, the workshop system changes to the “Vehicle identification number” tab under the “New” menu item.

We will assume that you have connected the right interface to the car at this time (Refer to interfaces section). Our example will use BMW ICOM A2.

This is how to identify a vehicle by reading out the vehicle data, while automatically creating a process:

• Click the “Operations” main menu item in the navigation area.

• Select the “Read out vehicle data” tab and follow the instructions provided.

• Click the “Identification without vehicle test” or “Complete identification”button

The connection to the vehicle is now established. The workshop system performs an identification of the vehicle. It also reads the vehicle identification number and further data from the vehicle. The progress of the identification operation is displayed on a progress bar.

Start vehicle test

If vehicle identification was called up via “Read out vehicle data” and “Complete identification”, the vehicle test starts automatically following vehicle identification, followed by the vehicle operation and service data transfer and analysis. The control unit tree is displayed during the vehicle test

Here you can observe the ongoing determination of the control units that are fitted. If no control unit tree is available, the “Control unit list” mask is displayed automatically.

The control unit tree contains all the control units identified in the vehicle and displays their allocation to the relevant bus system. The control units are identified in succession and their fault memories are read out. The color then changes to display of the detected state. An explanation of the colors can be found in the lower section of the displayed mask. From this screen, if required you can restart the vehicle test or also call up control unit functions so that you can read out measurements or activate actuating elements.

Before you can access a test plan you must first display the fault memory. This is how to view the fault memory:

• Wait until the vehicle test is completed.

• Click the “Display fault memory” button.

Show fault memory

After the vehicle test, click the “Display fault memory” button in the “Fault memory” mask. The fault codes that are read out and the associated description are listed here.

The function “Delete fault memory” can be carried out at the end of the guided troubleshooting. In order to start the guided troubleshooting, first calculate a test plan.

This is how to calculate a test plan:

• Click the “Calculate test plan” button.

Processing the test plan

The test plan lists the components and functions that might have caused the fault. The documents and test modules corresponding to the components and functions are displayed in the “Type” column, identified with “ABL”. In the “Type” column, documents and test modules are identified with an abbreviation.

Procedures localize a fault and give advice on rectifying it. This is how you start a procedure:

• Select the required procedure from the test plan.

• Click the “Display” button.

The priority in the test plan does not necessarily specify the call-up of the processes. The priority is to be regarded as a recommendation for processing.

A test module is primarily designed to identify the cause of a fault. Furthermore, service functions can be performed via procedures. Information can be displayed within a test module, as well as measured values read out or entered. Furthermore, queries can be made available in procedures via selection screens.

After a test module has been carried out, additional information is added to the test plan if this is necessary for further troubleshooting or fault elimination.

After the test plan has been completed, you should carry out the “Delete fault memory” function.

PROGRAMMING WITH ISTA+

Until now, different systems for vehicle diagnosis (ISTA) and programming (ISTA/P) have been used. This means it was necessary to change systems several times when repairing a vehicle using software.

ISTA+ has been expanded so that all the required programming functions for the series F, G and I are integrated.

E-series vehicles still have to be programmed using ISTA/P!

The functions relevant for programming can be accessed via the following menus:
