Hormazd, WOW! With a few sentences, you captured EXACTLY the fix-list I think we are all desperately waiting for.

Folks, it has been reported there are no fixes for the E60 in 16.1 and that 16.2 should have something for us.

Then what is difference between 15.2 and 16.2? except for the MP3?
Shoot!.. I have an appointment next week and I am sure they don't have 16.x yet.
I guess I have to find another issue, so I can upgrade free.?

just simply change your appointment. ask them to call you when they have 16.2 .

That's not true!

16.0 has nothing for the E60!
16.1 contains fixes
16.2 will have the 3D, MAYBE MP3...
17.0 will have MP3 if it's not on 16.2




MP3 will NOT be available on cars with NAV PRO (EU) / NAV (US) before September!

This update will only bring MP3 to cars without nav, according to BMW Munich...

Isn't it like selling a car without engine and let the buyer know that the engine will come as an update somewhen in the next two years...?

This is the same as I have heard

Our dealers curently have 16.0, and confirm it hasd the same old software version for the E60.

NAV or no NAV.? CIP 16.1 is supposed to have numerous bug fixes.? I had a reboot this morning.? I have slow start up.? Sticky menus that respond to the puck only when they feel like.? Phone echo for the other party,? 4 ring limit,? unable to toggle waiting calls.? Radio comes on at start up.? No RDS.

Its not about MP3 (although that would be nice) .? I want all this shit fixed and yes I want the Birds Eye view.

amen brother! after having my car in service for 1 F...ing week ... all of last week, and getting damn X3 ... NOTHING has changed for the better ... idrive wise ...

they replaced the center console <open> button that was peeling, they fixed a raddle, and they ddi something w/ the idrive ... supposedly reprogrammed it again ... its SLOWER again, it hung yesterday right after bootup .... ALOT of times i cannot change the volume since they had it ... the menu response is SLOWER again.

tomorrow morning i'm droppingt eh car off & requesting a 5 series loaner from the sales manager. there was a guy in a few weeks back that had an issue with his runflats .. needed new ones but the dealership had NONE!, and none fo the local tire stores had any ... even the regional warehouse had none. they told him it would be ~1-1.5 weeks till they had them ... he went to the sales manager & got a 5 series off the show room floor.


I AM SOO sick of this shit! i actually talked with the sales manager already, as well as the GM ... & they might help me in getting through either lemonlaw, or the dealer exchange program...... if BMW continues to refuse to replace my CCC (computer). the service department has been trying to get me a replacement unit .... but BMW of NA has repeatedly denied the request. i have 1 or 2 PUMA cases open i believe.

thats my rant for the day ... this is starting to get rather annoying ... especially for a (damn near) $60K car.
