3 Series E46 316i (M43TU) SAL
The important buses in the E70 are called: K-CAN, MOST, PT-CAN, F-CAN, FlexRay.
FlexRay is a new communication system that offers extremely efficient, real time data transfer between the electrical
and mechatronic components in the vehicle. FlexRay has a data transfer rate of 10 MBit/s.
FlexRay is used for data exchange between the VDM control unit and the shock absorber satellites.
CHAMP: On the US national version, instead of the multi-audio system controller (M-ASK), the Central Headset And
Multimedia Platform (CHAMP) operates as the BMW "Professional" radio. In contrast to M-ASK, CHAMP does not
have a navigation system.

Buses and control units in E81, E82, E87
The important buses in the E87 are called: K-CAN, MOST, PT-CAN and F-CAN.
The MOST, the innovation in the bus structure on the E65 and E66, is now also used in the E81, E82, E87.
The central interface for data transmission is the junction box electronics (JBE) in the junction box.

Buses and control units on the E90, E91, E92, E93
The most important buses on the E90, E91, E92, E93 are: K-CAN, MOST, PT-CAN, F-CAN.
The new feature is that the footwell module (FRM) is connected to the PT-CAN. This is because:
•
The adaptive headlights are integrated into the footwell module. The adaptive headlights need the high-speed
PT-CAN.
•
The longitudinal dynamics management sends the signal for the brake light on the PT-CAN.

Buses and control units on the R50, R52, R53
The most important buses on the R50, R52, R53 are: K-bus, PT-CAN.
The central interface for data transfer is the instrument cluster (KOMBI).
