i went to the dealer today cause i had a pdc malfunction light and surprisingly they had a campaign open to update the idrive software on all 545s coming in. so now i'm getting a free update, thought it would be good for other members needing an update on their 545s

Awesome, thanks! I am going to call them about this right now. I needed to get that airbag warning fixed anyway.

is it upgrades only for the 545s? or for all 5s? and is it worldwide the free upgrade?
I was told it was only for 545s , it must apply worldwide i guess.

out of warranty for the air bag warning or in warranty?
I mentioned this computer update and he said they would do that anyway as part of the seat sensor remap or whatever.
