Any other notable difference ?

Functionality improvements:
- virtual assistant seems much quicker and accurate. she doesn't complain much anymore with "sorry I must be hard of hearing"
- drive recorder is now avail to download
- connected drive functions (news/weather etc) not dropping out
- ALL REMOTE FUNCTIONS WORK FINALLY


Annoyances
- driving assist plus still doesn't display lane info on either side coz apparently it's not avail on my car
- PDC much more sensitive and I don't know why it needs to be. I have to reverse up a slope and round a corner to get in to the garage. 7 times out of 10 have gotten stuck half way up coz the AEB kicks in very early. Yes it's a tight corner but haven't had this trouble before!!

Can you reduce the sensitivity of the sensors?
Have you tried coding your car? It’s not that difficult.
You can change many e-functions of the car......including switching off those bloody annoying warnings every time you turn on the car.

2020 BMW M340i  [0.00]
2013 125i  [0.00]
Got my NZ M340i upgraded to 03/2020.40 today.
I'm cautiously optimistic; a few attempts at Remote Services all worked first time. And so did Remote 3DView..amazing as it's never worked first time previously..
Personal assistant lady responds quite a bit faster than before. And if I now ask her to open or close the sunroof, she now says "Sorry, that function cannot be done by voice control". She used to say "I'm sorry, the car doesn't have that feature."
And requests to play a music track or album are responded to quickly and without the dreaded " I'm preparing voice control for the music system."
Long may it continue...
oh... and the Personal Assistant lady still won't answer or talk to you when the car is in reverse 😠
I guess by design for some reason, but it would be rather useful to be able to talk to her and give navigation instructions or to play whatever music when I'm reversing down out my drive.

Yeah that's been a nuisance since forever with voice control and the reverse gear even on older BMW models. If you're midway through a voice command (by pressing the button) and put the car into reverse, it'll self-cancel.

I usually am putting in a navigation destination as I back out of my garage and it infuriates me even after 4 years of knowing it won't work 😂

In the process of updating the latest I Drive software today (11/2019.70). Its a slow process, as will only upload while the car is moving and install while the car is parked! Has anyone else updated yet? Whats new and/or improved?

Mine did the update to .70 as well yesterday, honestly can’t see any differences.

My update killed the car. System rebooted - said Software Upgrade Failed and Drivetrain fail, call Roadside. Car refused to start.

Car ended up being towed to dealer yesterday - still being worked on.

Very sad. Very annoyed.

Update not installing

Have been getting this message for the past couple of days. What could be stopping the update from installing?

I have software version 11/2019.70 in my Jan 2020 build and have not had a problem with it.
Now, either the car was built with this version, or it was upgraded at the dealership prior to delivery in April........I don’t know.
What I do find strange is that this version was not released for upgrade over the internet until very recently. Why was this version held back until now? It has worked perfectly in my car since early April.

Could well be that this is the first version that BMW Australia have released for OTA here. Will now wait and see how long it takes for a 2020 version to be released as OTA

My Feb 2020 330e came with 03/2020.40. Works fine other than can’t save favourites, can’t store home address, no economy of last journey is available through the portal.

Nah not the case mate, I've had two OTA updates in Australia already, first one was in September 2019

From what I was told by my dealership (which makes sense to me) is that the dealer installed updates are like semi beta in which they load at dealership level first to address problems. Once it's been fully tested out in the wild , they push it OTA to everyone. Like they're doing 11/2019.70 now
People who are still having issues will have 03/2020.xx loaded at dealerships until it's proven itself before they push it out. I guess a bit like iOS beta testing.

To be honest though I haven't requested a dealership update since 07/2019.xx as everything in my G20 has been working perfectly the past 6 months, excluding the dodgy cross traffic alert
