Mine too.

I don't think it is deployed on a per-country base but just with batches of VIN's no matter where they are located.

It could be quite awhile until you get it. They only push out so many at a time and no one has yet to figure out the sequence or prioritization.

Frankj9000 · 11-04-2020, 10:41 AM

Just got notice that upgrade 07/2020.54 is available this morning for my X5 45e.

hyde · 11-04-2020, 02:39 PM

No upgrade available in NY as of few minutes ago.

xigolle · 11-05-2020, 01:11 PM

Just checked and apparently I already have 07/2020.32 installed:

Is it worth upgrading as I already seem to have all the features that are coming.
Wondering if somebody knows the difference.

TurtleBoy · 11-05-2020, 01:41 PM

^ you likely won’t get any new features but rather some bug fixes. I would upgrade if it were me so I was in the current OTA version.

Andyx5 · 11-05-2020, 02:16 PM

Got the message to up date the car today to 07/2020.54. Started the update and won’t go beyond 30%. Any ideas what to do

teefive · 11-05-2020, 02:46 PM

Installed via OTA yesterday. No issues. Noticed improvements to voice command and maps.

Splang · 11-05-2020, 03:20 PM

I am in UK, and got mine and downloaded, would love to know why and what it's improved, it's not clear.
I did notice it sorts the third seat issue.

jad03060 · 11-05-2020, 04:14 PM

AT least in the USA, BMW does not include a general list of features/bugs that are added/fixed in their software updates. If someone comes in for service and complains about an issue, they can put that into the computer and it can suggest if a s/w update will help. Otherwise, unless BMW finds a safety issue, at least previously, they wouldn't update the vehicle under warranty. That whole thing may now vary with OTA updates, as those don't take up shop time for things, and their cost is marginal for what (hopefully) the good will brings in (at least once they get it down to a science, that seems to be lacking!).

Go into connected drive on web. Remote software upgrade then Release notes.

Thawke · 11-05-2020, 05:50 PM

UK based, also got mine today, went from

7/2020.32

to

7/2020.54

Not really noticed what the improvements were or if there would be any as its only a minor update considering what the car came with.

Pumxee · 11-05-2020, 11:16 PM

I'm still on 07.2019 on my 2020 g06

Someone from Canada reported the OTA today so it is rolling out there also.
