I think it's pretty clear what's going on. The G20 platform has the capability to remote update, but BMW isn't confident enough to enable it. Until BMW has gathered enough testing data or whatever, we'll just have to wait or take it to the dealer.
FWIW, my March-build, May-delivery M340i is on "48". |

As said before there could be various reasons for doing this, including builds. Microsoft does the same with their windows rollout. It isn't too uncommon for software suppliers but what I always HATE about it is the lack of documentation and communication... Usually all very valid reasons for the version numbers but just produce a proper explanation on your website!

Exactly. I just hope the development team that works on iDrive updates isn't the same one that works on the ConnectedDrive app...

I posted this in another forum, but here is why they are charging. Not that it's justified, but picture what happens when a car/user looses connection mid-update...

I have had the new software installed yesterday at the dealer. A few things I noticed:
I lost some of my settings (seat position memory, sorting of navigation favorites), but not much. So far only improvements, but we'll see what new bugs are introduced. |

Drives me crazy that software updates reset any settings. Seems like another BMW half baked software issue. Also, did you test the CarPlay or ConnectedDrive issues that people are having? |

I haven't tested CarPlay since I don't use it. As for ConnectedDrive issues: I'm not sure what the issues are, but if you have a list I can check later.
