Just got my car back from Sanspeed in bexleyheath, they had it from 8am to 4.30pm as the software took this long to update!
Total cost was ?115.
If anyone needs this done, look them up as they were the cheapest i found!

However, I'm worried they may 'overwrite' my autofold mirror update - which I had added as a retrofit by B&W chiptune........any thoughts.........do these guys know what's what when it comes to programming the E60 ??

Bal. Thanks for this post. Sanspeed are local to me, and that is a damn cheap price - been looking to get an upgrade so I can get MP3's to work.

ITts difficult for me to believe it too that long to update the software. This would only happen if you really do not know what the hell you are doing!
2.5 hours sounds more realistic.

He told me the system estimated 2hrs, but it crashed a number of times, and 1 of the modules took a few attempts before it took the update! there were twenty something updates in total
