Still no update for me, in NYC. July 2020 build 330i. I thought July build car suppose come with 07/2020 version?

helmet91 · 11-02-2020, 01:54 PM

US-spec car in Europe... who knows if I'll ever see this OTA.

NYC_340i · 11-02-2020, 06:19 PM

NYC, Sept 2019 build M340i and nothing on the Android app or when I search for updates in iDrive. I never got an update when I was on 7/2019.55 so I caved and had the dealer give me 3/2020.69 a few months ago.

Portugal, November 2019 320d still on 7/2019.55. Never got an update ...

Feb 2020 330i here - just got the notification to download the July iDrive patch 07.2020/54.

This might be more of a prayer than a question. Will remote start be available in the Connected Store at any point? Great deal on my car.. but I'm already paying for it!

greekcs · 11-03-2020, 08:50 AM

Nothing yet on my 12/2019 build 2020.

wrn3 · 11-03-2020, 02:14 PM

I got the notification for 07/2020.54 on Friday and downloaded it on my phone, however since starting the upload to the car it's been stuck saying Preparing upgrade (56%) for 4 days now. Has anyone else had any issues getting stuck at this stage and how did you fix it?

Just attempted to download today, stuck at 41% now for me.

Don’t think the Remote Software update works very well.

Crion · 11-03-2020, 03:34 PM

Just downloaded and installed the update this afternoon. Are you guys just using the car only to download the update or are you also using your phone? If you downloaded the update to your phone first, it should have only taken around 30 minutes to push it to the car.

I used my phone and it only took about 5-10 minutes to download, but uploading to the car seems to be stuck and I've been out on several drives since starting the upload. It's been stuck at 56% for at least 2 or 3 hours of uploading.

Hmm...How long have the drives been? If your phone disconnected from the car's wifi, the upload stops and I'm not sure if it resumes or has to restart from the beginning when it reconnects.

machman767 · 11-03-2020, 04:49 PM

How do you download it to your phone? If I select "activity" on the app it says remote software upgrade - available but doesn't do anything when I press details.

Went out for 45 minutes on Saturday before it got stuck in the hopes it would push through, it got up to 56% in the first 10 minutes but it hasn't moved since. Is there no way to abort the update and start from scratch? When I do cancel update on the phone it cancels fine but it still says preparing at 56% on my dash in the car.

greekcs · 11-03-2020, 05:54 PM

I wish we could side-load the damn update.

EXE46 · 11-03-2020, 07:34 PM

I got the OTA update for 7/2020.54 version last week. There are no issues to report of, with some added features like ACP maps now in HUD, camera now also gives more warnings on backup even from the front camera. ACP is now very stable, all in all, I am very satisfied with this update.

PS. This is my second OTA update this year.

DenHaag3er · 11-04-2020, 05:27 AM

Any exhaust or performance changes with this update?

Jkwon · 11-04-2020, 06:29 AM

Any UK 330e owners had the OTA update yet?

juhcobywankenobi · 11-04-2020, 02:17 PM

Any 2019 build owners get the latest OTA update yet? I haven't seen any posted.

todd92 · 11-04-2020, 05:00 PM

My 3/19 build updated itself to 7/2020 last week.

deoxys · 11-04-2020, 05:08 PM

For those who already got the OTA would you mind also reporting where you live in?
