It is thoroughly disappointing that expensive products < 6mths appear to be left behind.... Whilst I didn't buy the M340 for it's tech/SW it'll pi$$ me off nonetheless as more SW-centric features arrive and either aren't compatible or BMW can't be bothered to validate against earlier car builds.....

Agreed, I have a feeling the MobileEye software (which controls all the autonomous features) can't be updated via Remote Software Upgrade.

You shouldn't need to buy a new car for new software updates, the same way you don't need to buy a new phone for new software features.
