1. firmware version (example NBTevo_J16383I)
2. last 7 digits of your vin

you can send a photo of you current iDrive version or write it down (in your car open the Navigation Map, then hit the options button next to the iDrive controller and go to Navigation Settings > Position and Version > Version Information)

if you idrive firmware can be patched, there will be a paypal requirement for the patch
