Upgrading Ev battery 2018 i8 LCI into 2016 bmw i8

Post by Bmw101 »

I recently got a good deal on 2018 bmw i8 11.6 kWh battery, which was in car accident which deployed air bags.

After reading everything around internet
My concern is

1) After putting Ev battery in the car if Ev battery BMS has crash codes
Can we erase the crash code with ISTA plus then contract is close?

2) if fuses are blown, after Puttting Ev battery, would I know it while attempting erasing crash code?

Local EV technicians give me quote $1500 to check status of battery and erase crash code but he doesn’t guarantee to erase code it may not be possible if fuses are blown

So I would like to just slap in the EV battery
