It is pretty clearly not actually ready for reliable mass deployment, mostly because it is bolted on top of complex legacy update facilities (both technical and logistical) and that legacy is not good enough for continuous technician hands-off updates in customer hands. I don't hold that against BMW too much, but I do hold the a) BS marketing, and the b) BS dealer software updates (lack of) motivation setup.

Who said it was dangerous and who said it was unreliable?
First release software is performed at the dealer and issues resolved locally and fed back to dev. OTA is last point release of the previous software version with most fixes applied.
OTA s a different more robust process than ISTA programming at the dealer.
I knew I shouldn't have commented on a thread about upgrades and Im seriously not getting into your anti BMW BS again
