New software update for M340i?
I took my car to the dealership today, and the advisor told me a new software update just came out. I'm not referring to the one from May - that was installed on my car before I took delivery.
Anybody know what this update brings? |

Aren't these supposed to be over the air updates now? Or do we still need to take car into the dealer?

Does anyone know how involved the process is to have your system updated at the dealer? Is it something that they can do pretty quickly while you wait or do you have to leave it there?

It varies. Could be as short as 40 minutes or as long as 1+ days. I believe the update is downloaded from Germany and it's not a download/saved/locally.

I'm now on 03/2019.60 as of last week, updated by the dealer on delivery. I was told there is a major Hotfix update being pushed out in July through the dealers as OTA isn't available in Australia yet.
So far the only difference I've noticed is; It has added the "Caring Car" option and "Regulated Climate Control" for the seats but the latter doesn't work though

How long it takes depends on how many stalls the dealer has for software updates and if they are already being used.

I tried to buy an M340i today. The dealer would not let me complete the deal and take the car home because of this software update. I have to go back tomorrow and finish the deal after the perform the required service. It sounds like perhaps this is a bit more than just a simple OTA update.

Yes I got my car back and the update on the paperwork is marked as delivery stop. Is SiB 12 20 19 but I haven’t found any info on what it is neither I got much info from the dealer.
Not sure what is about Btw the rattle noise in the front (which was the proble I brought the car in ) was not fixed they said the sw update fix a bug in the asc causing the speaker to make static noise but I think that was Not true |

Interesting news. I've scheduled pickup of my MY20 M340 today, and nothing was communicated regarding any delivery stop. I'll mention this to see if perhaps my vehicle was updated while it was being prepared for delivery, or if they are aware of any other update.

My 2018 M240xi ragtop was called in for it last week. Apparently a lot of Bimmers were being called in for that. Maybe it applies to new models as well. Program downloads are from Deutschland...

Nothing was mentioned of software issues, and I didn't notice any problems, but I also haven't truly dug into the details or put it through it's paces yet. |
