Has BMW changed to a "push" model for vehicle updates?
Got in my vehicle this morning and I was going to check again to see if there was an update available. I no longer have the option to check for updates. Photo below shows what I'm seeing when I select the check for updates function (or whatever it's called). Am I being punished by BMW IT for checking, um, maybe a dozen times a day?

Maybe the new version is coming out, so they don’t plan to deliver any more via OTA until it does. The BMW web site also goes down constantly, and features come and go, including the build configurator.
I doubt they are targeting you, but instead are making changes and so disabling some features during the process. |

No, they are definitely targeting @gpitts — have you seen his posts? I am sure I am next, but so far, I am able to activate the ultimately fruitless search for better software in the car.

Turtleboy comes back in a nanosecond and says, yes, it’s there. I looked again and it was back on the configurator, but only for the X5, not x7. Things come and go on planet BMW. Keeps us all on our toes. |

When I went out this morning, I had no ability to perform the check. That was the crux of my question - whether BMW had taken away our ability to check and replaced it with "we'll tell you when you need it".
