My Ride: E60 "Stripper"
Now C6 "Stripper"
So there's a 15.0, 15.1, 15.2 then 16.0, 16.1 and a 16.2? 
16.2 and above will have the Bird's eye view navi?
Maybe i'll wait for 17.0?

Spoke to my dealership owner today. They will get 16.1 in early April and 16.2 in late April. He says, birds eye view for NAV only for the 6 series?

How can I determine what software version I have?

I think the dealer is just being cautious or as usual smoked too much ganja last night.

It's :
Press and hold for a few seconds
right 3 clicks
left 3 clicks
right 1 click
left 1 click
right 1 click
Press the knob
BTW, a lot of people can't get in this menu either, presumably something to do with NAV.

Hi tcumbo,
I spoke with Fields BMW (in Northfield) this morning and they told me that they just received the new software last Friday.? I asked them twice if in fact what they received was the 16.2 version and the service manager assured me that it is 16.2.
However, he told me that they have not installed it in all of their "stations" (whatever that means), but it will be by the end of this week.? And they want to install it in a couple of in-house cars first to test them out.? He also said that I can make arrangement with Michael Alwin (assistant service manager) to schedule an appointment to have my software upgraded.
If you don't feel like waiting for Motorwerks, you can make arrangement with Michael Alwin at (847) 441-5300.

Jenny - thanks for the info! I will probably just wait since I live rather far from Fields and am just happy to have my car back for a little while! I do appreciate the 'local' info though!
Did they happen to mention anything at Fields about installing Aux Inputs into e60 stereos? Knauz and Motorwerks are rejecting this work.
Thanks!
