I haven't asked for an update yet but I am curious if they can carry both US and Europe software. I will find out sooner or later I guess. I contemplated asking the dealership to install teh Euro software but Iceman made some valid points (As usual) about the differences in the Euro and US cars causing conflicts.

The recall is to do a software update for US cars.? You only really need it if you have an emmisions/smog test.

No worries for me yet.

My dealer can check in his computer system (by entering my VIN) if there are any relevant recalls...
But you're generally right. Service at BMW dealerships is definately not what you expect in the home country of the bimmer...

Me neither.. but my car is in the shop 2 days every week so if there was a recall the dealer will have done it.

Which software upgrade did you receive while in for the recall? When you say that you can now play mixed CDs, do you mean that you can play burned CDs and MP3s?? I'm just wondering if and when our CD player will be able to play MP3s.
