"generally available" is a software term meaning
Pity my english isn't as good.
What I meant was "I wonder what General Availability mean... in terms of rollout."
March 07 implies some kind of "big bang".

Hi Matt,
The problem #3 does not exist. Those stalks (turn signal, cruise, wiper) does not have light built in like steering wheel switches (next track, programmable buttons, volume, voice command, and phone buttons). I checked again this morning and confirm this.
3. the lighting in my column switches doesnt work (turn signal; cruise; wipers) but the lighting in the steering wheel is fine

I picked up my car today and have none of the problems you have listed above. The eyebrows and LED's work fine as do all other lights inside or outside. My car was programmed with CIP 24

Don't let them code without confirming the version! If they put the 'latest' available release (23.02) then it will almost certainly break the eyebrows!

dont worry - i even pointed out on delivery that i was going to check that they worked - the salesman is aware that im concious of the issue. If im being screwed for an hours labour for a simple reprogram, and i find they have wrecked the eyebrow light function, then there will be trouble...........

Two questions on Version 24 software:
1) does i-drive display the current software version, or do you need a tech to confirm what your running?
2) Who at the dealer knows whether CIP 24xx is available? In my experience I prefer speaking to techs about cutting edge things like this rather than the service consultant. Who has hands on experience? Techs. Who goes to training seminars and workshops to learn about new BMW technology? Techs. Who knows how to access the databases to research issues? Techs. From my experience, the service consultant is intended to be an interpreter as between the grubby technicians and the royal customers. Problem is, I speak tech. I don't need an interpreter. I would vastly prefer dealing directly with techs. But I think the stealer (whose primary source of income is warranty/maintainence work & parts) would feel left out. Does anyone else find this to be the case at their dealer? At mine, many of the techs drive old BMWs while most of the service consultants drive new cars....that don't have blue or white on their emblems.
