I took my car to service dearler today.
ask them to update to the newest cip.
what they told me is every e60 needs different type of software?
and they will upgrade if new v.20 cip only if it is available for my car?
i think this is b/s. What i felt was that they are being stingy about upgrading to new s/w. is upgrading s/w is hard job to do or something?
btw, I got a e90 as a loaner car. car is great. i like the engine start button =p

You should have complained of some problems (real or imaginary) with your car like a Xmission slam or Bluetooth malfunction etc. and they would have upgraded it for you.

Your dealer is pretty clueless. Its one and the same set of software for the E60/E61 AND E63/E64. True, there are about 25 individual modules that require programming in the car, but it his carried out by testing via the "Measures Plan" and then only the latest PROGMAN (CIP) should be used to upgrade any modules that are not current. Tell them to read their own Service Bulletins, we do. You do not say where you are. Would help. If in large metropolitan area you could just get another dealer that is more familiar with process. I've even been able to train my small dealer
