Received a remote update.
I received a message from the BMW connected app that a remove update is ready to be installed. See attached screenshots.
History: Nov 2019: Received my car with version: 07/2019.55 Dec 2019: Dealer updated to version 11/2019.40 due to problems with car play and drive recorder. Today 28th may 2020: Received an over the air update for version 11/2019.70 Will document the update with pictures and post back here. The release notes only contains general information about the update process. So no list of new functionality or fixed problems |

The installation was straight forward. Took about 20min. The idrive system rebooted several times during the update. During the update you can hear the system doing checks, turning off and on, etc...
When finished I had a bunch of error messages in the vehicle status screen. This is mentioned in the 'Release notes' (had plenty of time to read these during the 20min update :-) ). Closed the car for 20secs and the error messages were gone. Did a 5min test drive. Noticed a few new icons in the heads-up display. I assume there is no new functionality included since its a new iteration of an older software update (November 2019 release). During installation car has to be in P mode and the handbrake must be enabled. The alarm is disabled during the upgrade. Took some screenshots but forgot my system is in Dutch. Doing a 160km trip tomorrow. If I notice stuff I will post it here. |

Good to see it works in Europe, now if they could just switch it on for the rest of us that would be great! Slow progress..... but at least it's progress.

I was on the same version prior the update, and also got the same update proposed via the app.
Also the X5 45e Orig version from factory built jan 2020: 11/2019.50 Update mentioned in the App: 11/2019.70 Installation went OK (20 minutes, no error codes shown afterwards), no issues so far. Note: I did make the error of connecting the iPhone via a USB-C cable for transfering the update to the car (step 2). The update will not transfer to the car in this case, it will wait for you to disconnect the cable (even tough i was already connected via bluetooth & wifi) and only then it will start the transfer.

Spend two hours in the car today. Did not notice much difference.
* a few new icons in the heads-up display. * I think (not 100% sure) a newer layout for the navigation maps in the heads-up display. * Real-time traffic information seems more advanced to me. Got notifications in my dashboard when approaching narrow lanes. And detailed information about the traffic situation inside the roadworks itself (closed exits etc..). |

At least it didn't do anything to my BimmerCode programming. Well, I still need to check all the areas but so far I see that it didn't touch those changes.
