Remote software new update

I just took a stroll and got a msg in bmw connected app that new update was downloaded and to connect to car via wifi to update. I wonder if this update is for the recent stop sale issue

Software version to be uploaded is 7/2020.54

My X5M was updated remotely on Thursday. I have no idea what the software update entailed.

Hi I have the update uploaded from the phone to the car but I cant figure out how to get the update to start or what needs to be in place for it to start. Does it have to be running to initiate the install or stopped and in park? Its an X5M so there was something about the 30 minute cool down but then what? Driving me crazy trying to get it to start the update

It took me forever to initiate it on my car. I ended up receiving a pop up msg on my screen And then clicked on it. Try turning on your car and see if you get the message. If that doesn't work, then try turning off the car. I can't remember when I got the msg; it was either when I turned it on or turned it off.

The remote update is not for the stop sale. I did the update before taking it to the shop for the stop sale and confirmed with the SA.

Weird that my 2020 never shows there an any remote update available when i check via the car or the phone app. I believe i'm still on a Nov19 version.

Same same. Not really complaining just patiently waiting.

My friend just picked up a 21 X7 and already got notification for 2020/07 update.

Been waiting for update on X5MC since saw update uses the heads up display with Apple Maps. Finally got notification today of availability (in US); it downloaded to phone but stuck on 15% phone to car - grrrrr!!!! I know it will be fine in a few days, but painful to wait after trying to force it earlier (—which appears to not be possible)... previous version 2019.55; new version offered but not yet updated 07.2020.80

I was able to download it in the app on the phone, then sync the phone via carplay to push the update. It hung a few times, but holding down the volume button to reset iDrive seemed to get it to push through without too much trouble. Then I needed to use bimmercode again to get my preferred preferences back (like auto off not activated).
