What Idrive update should I be asking for now?
I know there's a bunch a threads asking similar questions but they seem to be region specific. My 2019 G05 is in for maintenance and a warranty paint issue. My last IDrive update was a while ago. I am in New Jersey in the USA. What Idrive version should I be asking for?
Thanks for the help |

An interesting progression - spouse's car was updated 2 or 3 weeks ago to 7/2020.45, mine was updated to 7/2020.54 a week or so past, and now we're up to 7/2020.60. That's pretty speedy in the world of software.

Latest version on 07/2020.xx branch in the wild is already noted in other posts. But, 11/2020.xx ought to be out within a week or two, so depending on your exact appointment date and wether you want to bleed on the edge, you should be asking for that.

Yes. But OTA updates are much delayed relative to real-time software releases by BMW to dealers. Lots of threads about it.

Additionally, OTA updates are always one I-Step behind dealer updates according to BMW. So the absolute latest update is always the dealer update. Meaning an OTA will include the latest iDrive software, but the previous stable I-Step to minimize issues.

Evidently they have altered that a bit since they decided to skip 03/2020.xx and are going right to 07/2020.xx. There was some discussion that Europe is starting to receive it already.

Just got my car back from it's first service. Dealer updated iDrive to 07/2020.60. All my coding was lost, so I'll be doing that later on today or this weekend.
