Looks like Ediabas is Ver. 7.2.0. The daten files came from the "E70.rar" file that everyone claims to be V45; however, I'm not positive.

BTW, ATE has nothing to do with the OEM pads, which come from a company called "Pagid." ATE only makes the brakes; i.e. the calipers and the rotors (as well as the master cylinder and other bits).
