idrive boots up in 12 s is too slow. Mine boots immediately after engine ignition after 16.2 upgrade. Before that, took 30 sec to boot up.

Hi all.
After reporting some problems on my 545i to my dealer, he requested to have the
car for 2 days so he could re-encode the whole car with newer software.
Problems briefly, ranged from insensitive rear PDC, occasional trasmission "kicks"
from 3 to 2 deccelarating, - to some minor I-drive bugs.
I got a chance to have a detailed discussion with him. Informed me that the car is now on 16.3 ( whether any differences with 16.2 for E60 - don't know ) - and got to see the whole 'status report' printout. I can tell you, it's long and goes on for about 3 pages. Every paragraph was an item/module with some codes and the all important "encoding successful" at the end.
Even Logic 7 had new programming, which now seems to me, to play with a renewed flair and clarity on the songs I'm used to hearing....
- PDC is now working very well.
- Servotronic slightly lighter and easier at low speeds. Definite difference.
- I-drive controller easier, more detents. Perspective view is cool. Nav lady has more to say to me during nav instructions. Bluetooths' working fine. Radio stays muted after starting car again.
- Smoother transmission and seems to have a? "faster adaptive curve". By the time I got home it was almost behaving as I expect it to approaching intersections, corners etc. Nice.
- The update seems to have a nice effect on the ECU or engine parameters, I feel the engine somehow smoother, but that's maybe due to smoother transmission probably.
- All memories erased, except strangely, the drivers and passenger comfort seats still have the correct seating position.
- idrive boots up in 12 sec. seems slightly faster.
Will keep you posted if I remember/notice anything else.

------
With or without NAV ? That makes a huge difference.
Mine boots in approximately 12 sec with Sat Nav Pro and 16.0

I noticed at some stage an immediate bootup after I switched off the engine for a few minutes...( as if in standby ).
However, if the car has gone in sleep mode ( as soon as 15min ) - my idrive takes the usual 12 sec.....
