iDrive update - Stuck at 55% "preparing..."
Apologies if this has been discussed before. I looked through the forums and didn't see it.
I finally got the notice to update from 07/2019.55 to 11/2019.70 yesterday. I've been refreshing for months trying to get it to show up. I dropped my car off at the dealer for its 1st service yesterday and a few minutes after dropping it off the "update available" notice showed up on my phone. Coincidence? Ok, so today I downloaded the update on my phone and proceeded to then upload to the car. Right away it showed 55% but then it just stays at 55% even after 25 minutes This is my first time updating. What am I doing wrong? |

I had similar issues with a really slow download. I found it really only downloaded when the car was being driven, and it took a few days to finish. This was odd, because it was pretty quick for the first update we had.
You can always try downloading it on your phone and pushing it straight to the car. |

I thing I notes from my recent upgrade is that the car batteries do need to sufficiently charged. -I think 80% plus for any download and install. With C-19 my car has hardly moved |

Today, the phone app shows "No Upgrade Available" but in the car it's still showing the same screen at 55%. I'm confused |

Ya me too, Last week of November 18 build, one dealer SW update to 07/2019.55 and no OTA update - thanks BMW for selling me a car telling me it will get remote updates and almost 2 years later nothing, seems lots are getting them, would be nice if they prioritized those of us that wasted our money on so many vaporware features.

This is not the same as the old usb updates which merely update the media unit. These are multiple ECU updates. The source media for programming in ISTA is over 100gb and the actual OTA RSU payload differs depending on model current version and options. The OTA updates are generally one version behind the dealer delivered updates to reduce risk, so you will never get the latest version OTA. Maps are delivered OTA. You don't need to take your car into the dealer to get a map update. You may be confusing the new online map feature update included with I-Step 07/2020, as opposed to map updates. |

I know for a fact that RSU are blocked at the car due to either a BMW remote transmitted blocking code and/or if the car has an issue that would prevent an update being delivered e.g. battery discharge issue. This can take over 10k miles to clear. The dealer can identify if it is a car block due to BMW strategy or a car specific issue. Obviously if you are on a newer istep than has been released OTA then you won't get an upgrade. |

By way, are you sure you got OTA update to 11/2019.55? That doesn't really makes sense as latest 11/2019 is .70 and that's what everyone else has been receiving.
