Business Process Improvement is the any improvement in process in a business environment whereas BPR is one of the methodology used for Business Process Improvement.

Usually BPR and BPI treated the same. But the difference is in the depth of change.

BPI - is the way you improve current AS-IS state, where you have problems and issues (look for failure demands, wastes and eliminate them) - so you got to your TO-BE state

 

BPR - is more complex way to redesign the process almost from scratch. You go first for customer \\ consumer value propositions. Based on this identified values on your AS-IS map you identify wastes or an idea to create new way of service delivery. The action plan will get you to your desired TO-BE state

Both BPR and BPI essentially aim to improve the system. BPR aims at changing the way a process works while BPI is tweaking an existing process to optimize it.
