I had the same experience after .47 settings all intact. Only issue was the phone dropped the Bluetooth connection occasionally. Deleted phone and added back and no issues since other than having to call BMW connected to sort remote view and get Spotify App to reappear

07/2019/53 installed (took all day), along with a "recall" relating to dual storage battery. Everything still works perfectly...noticing a few upgrades and only had to reset a couple settings. Excellent.
Had a 430I as loaner (still the old platform).....first "3" series I've driven in awhile. The 4 cylinder was pretty quick. A lot more engine noise than expected (and not a welcome sound like I miss in my Macan). Handled very well. The G05 shows how much progress BMW has made on interiors. This (in Black) was downright depressing in materials and design. Certainly didn't belong in a $56K car. Banged my head several times on the roof...this is a LOW car. Spoiled by the larger SAV space....plus a I'm a lot older since my last "car", an M3.

Yes OTA updates are not yet available so you'll need your dealer to do it. That said you are on a very recent version so I would wait and see if you have any issues and / or wait for the November versions then wait until the third November release to ensure it is stable

Just dropped off mine off at Sun Motors in Mechanicsburg PA. Got a nice M340i loaner. Was going to wait around but SA said it may take all day so I'm going home, live 60 miles away, and they will bring my vehicle to my house and retrieve the loaner.

Been doing business at Sun for over 20 years. Don't always buy from them but always use them for service. They also helped me with 2 buybacks in the past.

Fingers crossed that the 3 campaigns will go well. The only issue I have is non functional cornering lights and a need to reboot idrive occasionally.

I'm three hours from SUN, bought my X3 there and take it there for service. Both their sales and service have been very good with me. Is Tim Z still the shop foreman? He's great!

I drove by it a few times this summer when we were back in PA. My parents live a few miles from them and I was trying to convince my Dad to buy a BMW since I heard Sun was a great dealer. He didn't go for it, he loves his Lincoln.

I'll try to remember to ask. My SA called around 2 pm and said they had finished the work on my X5. They will bring it to my home and pick up the loaner tomorrow. Enjoyed driving it, an M340.
I'll update this thread on the results of the 3 updates/campaigns.

Upgraded my 2019 40i to firmware version.53 last week. Using it for the last 3-4 days, my impressions are the following:
CarPlay with ios13.1 on my iPhone XS Max is significantly more stable in connecting. Zero drops in this period. Once I thought it would not connect, it took its time but connected.
Had to reset my data privacy and climate settings to re-enable remote start.
More consistent and accurate and better synced maps across the three displays (hud, dash, main console).
Got one warning about emergency call malfunction that went away on its own.
Seat ventilation only showed heating option once but has since fixed itself
Display brightness works fine, as do cornering lights.

Caring car app doesn’t load yet, but all other Bmw apps seem to be installed.
Remote 3D view on the phone is faster and more consistent.

Overall, feels stable and solid, more like the rest of the vehicle. One can’t help but feel that should have been the level of their initial production release.

Not tried Apple Pay yet, don’t use it much , so i have disabled it.

The July update fixed so many issues for me and I am for once really happy with the electronics in my X5. Carplay in iOS13 is terrific.

Enabling Assisted driving view and Anti dazzle high beams through coding were the cherries on top.

The only two "wants" I have are max. output from the laser lights (probably not going to happen as it may be due to a limitation in the lights themselves and therefore not codable) and getting that camera recording app.

My welcome lights came back after I had the car coded using Esys. Not sure why coding changed it but after I got updated to the July update the welcome lights were not working at all. After coding a few features welcome
Lights are back although they work differently now. I have to be very close within 3 feet before they turn on. They used to come on from
Much further away and they came on and off as I walked to and away the car. It seems like they were adjusted to be less sensitive.

Sun delivered my vehicle to my house and retrieved their loaner. The following updates/campaigns were performed:

1. Software Quality Update B65 19 19 Now running 2019.53

2. Checking 12V Dual Storage System, No replacement necessary

3. Program Control Unit (BDC) to activate cornering lights B63 03 19

I had to recode the ASS and also coded several other items but the list of available options is now greatly reduced in Bimmercode.
Will wait a few weeks and check to see if additional options are available. I used a VEEPEAK Bluetooth adapter to perform the coding.

Almost all of my driver settings remained but I had to update all of the privacy settings.

Will verify cornering lights work tonight after it gets dark.

So far, so good.

Was not expecting an update but the dealer did it with a recall B611419. Any idea what exactly it is for? The car was running fine before the update. After, all units of measurement were reset to metric system. Had to change them back one by one. Will see what to find next.

Can folks confirm that 07/2019.53 is the latest version and no other version has been released after this?

Please can somebody post a pic of this from iDrive? scheduled an appointment with the dealer for the s/w upgrade and it helped last time to show the pic to insure they install the latest version.

Tuesday I asked my SA to verify that .53 was the latest and he did some research and confirmed it was.

07/2019.53 updated

iPhone 11 pro with iOS 13.1.1 CarPlay connects fast and the connection stays solid. The .53 update also fixed the transmission jerk I sometimes experienced with comfort mode in traffic.

Another cool feature of the new firmware is that the color of the car in the center console screen, actually reflects the car color you have ordered, instead of a standard metallic grey. I am not talking about the menus and such, but during parking and reversing, where this graphic is overlaid onto the video feed. Not a big deal but a nice touch.

Another observation on CarPlay, not sure of others, but on mine, it connects way faster when the phone remains on the driver side. If I put it on the passenger seat, it previously never used to connect, but now it does - albeit after a couple of minutes , and with no intervention from my part. wonder if others have seen a (similar) pattern to this? Not sure if the WiFi Hotspot antenna is closer to the driver side? (It shouldn't be so picky and directional, but who knows!)

Ok so today on .53, the navigation voice just stopped. Was "navigating home" and she started OK, then silence. The Voice recognition still worked, the tickbox "spoken direction" was on (I toggled it to be sure) but she stayed silent...

I'll have to reboot tomorrow to get it back, but it's the first issue I note with the new software.
