BMW sent me an email inviting me to receive a free software update

Just got this email today. Wonder which version they'll update me to

Received the same.... If you think BMW is actually going to EVER send an OTA software update... keep dreaming. If BMW could they wouldn't be asking us to waste time and effort taking our vehicles into the dealer...

scheduled my update for monday. interestingly enough, they note that future upgrades will be delivered OTA while this one must be done by the service center, here is the quote:

Quote:
Your vehicle is equipped with Remote Software Upgrade capabilities. Future updates can be delivered over-the-air, direct to your vehicle.

I'm guessing current code is somehow broken so can't take the OTA (when I go to check for software update, it just "searching" indefinitely).

I had the same thought, but then recalled that a couple of folks here received OTA updates.

Received the same. Just had this done yesterday to 7/2019.47. Other than weirdness with the route preview display in the instrument cluster, it seems pretty stable.

Ive had OTA upgrades work before, and I also go this email today (G07). I'm just going to ask the car to check for the update to see if I can avoid having to go in

I got this too but the service was so bad the one time I brought it in I’m hesitant to take them up on the offer. Pretty sure I’ll just wait for something more pressing.

waiting for input from other before pulling the trigger

I'm still hesitant on upgrading since we have ZERO issues. I think we are on still on ver 10/2018 software. Only thing that is not enabled is the cornering light, which we can live with for now.

I got the same email today and currently I am on 7/2019.39. Nowhere in email it says what version they are talking about? I cannot wait to get the new assisted driving view in the instrument panel display

Those who have Monday or earlier appointments, can you please post the version they put on for you? I had mine done just recently so just want to compare it with yours. Mine is 07/2019.47. I have 2019 X7. The version does not support the Assisted Driving View even though I have the hardware present in the car, which could be coded using Esys.

Are there markers that link those who have received this email? Or the reverse about those of us who did not receive such?
