I've been lurking in this topic for a while but today I went into the dealer for an update and will share my findings.
I was on iDrive 7 03.2019.something and now I have 03.2020.30. I got the car back with remembered options both in software (user, settings, nav history) as in hardware. (Mirrors didn't reset like in a factory reset. Don't have powered seats as I am the sole driver of the car and would have been a waste.) When I got the car back, I had no apps in the Connected Drive screen. (Bolding it since some users reported the same problem.) Removing my user and logging in again didn't fix it. A full factory reset did however. Things I notice right of the bat

I was on 7.2020.54? prior to today, so I can't provide any feedback on that, but I'll echo that so far 3.2020.30 is pretty excellent. Only time will tell

Picking up my car from the dealer shortly after new update. Will advise on any fixes or bugs.
EDIT: the dealer refused to do a software update. Apparently a glitchy iDrive system, completely dysfunctional ConnectedDrive services, and inconsistent phone connection aren't adequate reasons for BMW to do an update. On top of that, CarPlay doesn't work whatsoever now. That's a new issue. Great.

Considering most BMW dealers are going to get hit hard over the next several months for business, the last thing they should do is be shitheads to their loyal customers.

I had the same problem yesterday. Got them back by doing a factory reset in the car settings. Took me about 10mins after, to go through all the settings menus to put everything back as it was.

Is Connected Drive still working and updating regularly for you after the factory update? |

The factory reset worked!!! Thanks so much
My car has been to BMW twice and was due to go back next week. I had the new software installed, but they had no idea why everything had disappeared. I’d tried everything. I Thoth the Idrive reset was the same as the factory reset (and so did the BMW techs by the look of it) |

I may be wrong, but I believe as long as you had connected drive set up at one point, your settings should be synchronized to the BMW cloud. I have not personally tried this yet, so don't quote me on this - but a lot of the settings should return after you log back in to connected drive on the car?

After the debacle of my software upgrade, I finally got Spotify after a factory reset. I though all was well, but every time I switch the car on, I get a screen that just says ‘loading’.
I have to do an idrive reset every time I start a journey in order to get Spotify to work. Any ideas?? |

I'm a Canadian G20 M340i owner, just picked my car from dealer, got the 03.2020.30 update and also sunroof rattle( not fixed yet), Battery malfunction( get a new battery), Check engine light( software big), connected drive app not working( software update solve the problem)
Now exciting things first! 1. You can now use Spotify under Media sources( please cheaply the picture) but I use CarPlay everyday, so I'm not so excited 😆 2. Automatic heated steering wheel( plz check picture) 3. Connected drive app finally worked! Bad things!!!! I set my car sport individual as steering-sport, engine-sport plus, transmission-sport and I can get very loud 4-6 burbles before, after this update open 2 burbles like before in sport mode. But if you put your car in sport plus you can still get loud burbles like before.

I'm still running the original software, 03/2019... was a having a few niggles so rebooted the idrive! I know it didn't really work anyway, but now I don't even have the 'Remote software Update' option at the bottom of General settings?

Has anyone who upgraded to 3.2020.30 then re-coded things like Sport+? If so, is Connected Drive still working perfectly?

Hello all, I have been reading this topic for a number of months as i too have had numerous issues with OTA updates (none happened!) and had to visit the dealer to upgrade the software. My software was upgraded approx 10 days ago to 3.2020.30, was previously on 07.2019.55 after issues with screens dimming (still occurring, although not as often), comfort access works as and when and no drive recorder software. Anyhow, went out with an the engineer, as I also have the rear “rattle” that has been mentioned in other links. The engineer advised that as my car has the sunroof it is a known fact that OTA does not work, and as such will not update; BMW are trying to work on a fix! Not sure if others have heard similar issues?

Hi,
Took my 2020 M340 (with software version 07/2019.70) in last Friday because it had several problems with the iDrive -- like reading back text messages sometimes in Spanish, sometime mystically changing to guest profile, and comfort access sometimes not locking the car when I walked away. Well,, as you'd expect, they said no faults and they couldn't find anything; when I suggested that this all sounded like software, I got the "BMW doesn't like us to update software for no reason" tap dance. Any ideas on a "good reason" to get dealer to update software?
