You could be write. I was under the impression they are free especially during the warranty period. Once they go to OTA's then it won't matter.

I would think someone here should know.

I'd like to hear feedback from anyone else too

I'm no techie but why can't these updates be pushed out OTA?

Was not the original rumor Jan that morphed into March?

Could be, I thought I remember that it was released in Jan to Europe but BMWNA decided that it would be March. Then again it is all rumor until it happens.

The Genius at my dealer did say there was going to be a big update in March but for all I know he is on this forum and that is where he got his information from.

Just guessing, but I would (if it were my decision) wait and be sure everything was solid before issuing an OTA upgrade, imagine the consequences if it bricked even a dozen vehicles. I suspect any OTA upgrades will be minor ones without the possibility of bricking a car, serious firmware upgrades will be by the dealer.

I was updated to .65 on Thursday. So far, I don't really see any changes.

1. I still am getting ApplyPay popping up with wireless charging.
2. About 25% of the time my iPod gets set to either repeat a single track or set to shuffle.

Surge1 · 02-24-2019, 10:04 PM

Took deliver few days ago and running 2018.55.

So far no major issues with exception of slow reconnect times of my iPhone when I leave and come back to the vehicle while it's still running.

Anyone else also running .55?

updated by the dealer?

3to5toX5toX7 · 02-24-2019, 10:31 PM

Yes, updated by my dealer in Boulder Colorado.

I wonder why they don't rush these OTA yet. I'm on . 53 as a week 3 build

I strongly believe BMW should learn from Tesla. They are very good with their whole car OTA from what I heard. They also provide details on what the OTA contains.

It would be nice if it was OTA, but honestly I can't tell any difference with .63 vs .43. If anything, Gesture Control is now too sensitive as I have noticed it picking up movements now that aren't intended to Gesture Control.

MikeElmendorf · 02-25-2019, 07:16 AM

The lack of an update to address these many issues is very frustrating. I was told again by my German friend that an update that was to address most of this was released to BMWNA on January 7. Others are reporting it has been deployed in Europe. Why it is being delayed here is anyone’s guess.

mnx5er · 02-25-2019, 06:19 PM

I'm on .45 and can't find out how to configure the Instrument Panel. The paper manual and on-line manual says you can do it with this menu chain.

I do not see the "Configure Individual" in my car. Anyone else have this?

From the manual:

"CAR"
"Settings"
"Displays"
"Instrument panel"
"Configure Individual"
Select the desired setting.

crl125 · 02-25-2019, 06:52 PM

Same here (.55). Took delivery last week. No issues thus far with what others have been sharing. Fingers crossed!

I'm also running that version. Only issue I have is I can't see vehicle location in connected drive app and it doesn't receive destinations when I send them

No ‘Apple Pay’ issue with .55?

I'm on .65 now, don't have the Apple Pay issue anymore (was on .49 before).

Was there another software recall for you to come in and upgrade or did you ask for it?

3to5toX5toX7 · 02-28-2019, 06:30 AM

I am on .65, and I still have the ApplePay issue.
