Agreed. It's BS.

I have been in contact with local dealerships and BMW corp. No one has seen this, confirms it and even went as far as to laugh at the thought of it. They know it would end up in several big money lawsuits.

This is a case of hearing what you want to hear. There are ways to test if you've lost hp (another claim of these recalls and updates). Large amounts of enthusiasts would notice. The numbers of people coming forward with this are too small for it to be real.

Anyone knows how long the download takes when using the ConnectedDrive App on iphone?

It's stuck at 30% after driving for an hour so I'm wondering if I should have seen more progress...

Could anyone with 03/2020 software version tell me how many apps you have under "Installed Apps" in the iDrive?
Mine was updated to 03/2020 by the dealer when I took in for maintenance and now there are only 2 apps there, "BMW Assist" and "Intelligent Personal Assistant", and no Spotify under Media. Tried updating Apps and Services but no joy.

Have you tried to hard reset the iDrive by pressing the power button? Press and hold until the screen goes blank (approx 30sec).

Is Spotify available in all regions? I never had the app at all, and also no mention of connected music anywhere in the connected drive services

I don't have Android auto let alone even get the Spotify app to open on the car. Pretty annoying when the car costs so much and does less than my 2016 charger when it comes to phone connectivity.

I have the m performance exhaust so all the sounds of the car are a bit amplified for me. I drive my car hard and I'm very particular to the experience. I can 100% change there are less low end burbles and growls after giving it 2-3k rpm in any drive setting including sports+.

It stills has a burble but it's about 3 seconds shorter and less low end.

The high end in sports+ you get more loud bangs when driving hard and while letting of the gas.

The car still sound about 85% the same, but it is NOT the same.

OTA Software Update to 11/2019.70 stuck

I tried to do the OTA update to 11/2019.70 , but it got stuck, Idrive says ""Preparation of the upgrade will automatically be resumed shortly."" it has been like that for over a week.

I called BMW and they can not find the solution, they told me to contact dealer.
Is or has anyone here experimented the same problem?

Spotify didn't use to show up under my Media inputs, UNTIL I (accidentally) selected my USB Flash Drive as source. Then, magically, Connected Music and Spotify appeared. I have no idea why (as in: must have been a bug), but may work for you as well.

Hey guys I'm new to these forums and the M340i is my first BMW. I just did 11/2019.70 and my car has 751 miles on it. I agree that they have reduced the burbles in the lower RPM ranges and they don't hang around as much with this OTA update.

On another note...have any of you ran into "Differential Lock Reduced" message? I was doing some spirited driving and the car did spin the tires a bit but nothing excessive as a burn out.

I have the 11/2019.70 installed for a couple of months and there is no checkbox for DRL taillights whatsoever.... I would love to have it! Spotify neither, only inside Apple Carplay.

Android Auto

Has anyone on the latest OTA update or the factory load been able to get android Auto to work? I've tried in vain, but cannot figure out how to make it work.

The OTA containing Android Auto won't come around until later this year.

I have MPE on my m340 and did notice a change in sound as well, came here to confirm my suspicions. Any way to go back to previous software?

I had the same issue. My problem was the battery wasn't sufficiently charged. All resolved after I trickle charge the battery back up.

For EU cars do not update to newer version if you still have 7/2019 version, you will loose pops and burbles.
