The 'I'll never buy another car from you again' and the words 'class action lawsuit' tend to make ears perk up. I feel fortunate that Autobahn in Ft Worth is a dealer who's always kind, classy and wanting to help. I can't say the same about BMW Dallas.

My car is at the dealer as we speak getting several things taken care of. I just got a text from my service advisor that his foreman told him the car had been updated to "4.2020.23". Seems odd to me, has anyone heard of a 4.xx.xx release? I'm assuming typo. I'll confirm in a couple of days when I pick it up.

I'm putting the odds at 50% no update is done, 40% you get 3/2020 and 10% actually getting 4/2020.23 Keep us updated once you get your car back!

Haha. I would definitely have agreed with you about the 50%, except that this dealership has already pulled that crap with me once, promptly resulting in me b!tching out the service manager in front of a service bay full of customers (lying about the software update was only one of multiple reasons). I now have an email trail a mile long detailing his department's multiple failures, and I've made him well aware of my intention to go straight to his ownership as my next step toward resolution if things aren't 100% when I pick it up. So the software definitely going to be updated, just a question of what rev#. I'm putting my money on 3/2020.

It's been concluded that this isn't impacted by an iDrive update, but rather by an emissions update that happens at a much lower level than iDrive software in the G20. It seems to be impacting only Canada or some European country models, but not USA.

Just wondering....I’ve been having a lot of BMW Connected app issues. Specifically the car won’t unlock/lock,remote 3D view. My 2020 330i is on software 07/2019.39.
BMW Assist said it could be my software in the vehicle that is causing the problem as there is a newer version. I took the vehicle into the dealer and asked them to update the software as per BMW assist. I was told that there is no new software updates for my car and after having the vehicle for 2 days, they only did a factory reset....It still does not connect. Any ideas on how to get them to update the software? Not sure why this is so hard - this is in Canada btw. |

First off, the software is definitely your problem. 07.2019.XX is an old software with many known bugs. 11.2019.XX fixed many problems, including Connected Drive connectivity and CarPlay connectivity. Secondly, your experience is sadly common. Many BMW dealerships will do or say whatever it takes to avoid updating your software. It happened to me this year. My advice is to find the email address of the Service Manager, and email him the following:
1) His staff lied to you. They told you there was no newer software available, and you know for a fact there are two major releases that are both far newer than your current version: a 11.2019 release and a 03.2020 release 2) You also know from online resources that the 11.2019 update specifically addresses the types of Connected Drive problems you are having (you might as well say you are having sporadic CarPlay disconnects as well for extra reinforcement). Which means they ignored your issues and the available fix completely, and have essentially refused to fix your vehicle. 3) If your software is not updated the next time you pickup the car, you're going to have a very candid conversation with (insert name of owner or general manager of dealership that you got off their website) about how his staff is not only refusing to fix your issues, but that they're also lying to you about it. 4) Based on his response, make another appt and ask to speak with him directly when you drop the car off to make sure he knows you're not going to let them jerk you around again. Pretty sure that will take care of it. If not, you now have a paper trail you can forward to the ownership. Either way, you may want to find another dealer...but nothing says you won't have to jump through the same ridiculous hoops there too. Last edited by 2020g20; 04-24-2020 at 03:30 PM.. |

Thanks! I appreciate the advice. I sent them an email mentioning that they did not do what I asked. I received a further email saying the car is up to date. Not sure why they are saying that when the car is clearly on 2019 software. So I basically emailed them what you mentioned and included the manager. Hoping to hear back soon else I will be trying a different dealer. Really disappointing to have such difficulty with a software update that we should be able to do on our own! |

Members in german forums report that RSUs now seem to be happening over-the-air in larger amounts, so maybe BMW is done testing or fixing their infrastructure or whatever it was that held it up, we'll see.
