Needless to say, the whole lot needed to be reprogrammed....
Which also meant that all my i-drive settings, memories and navigation adresses got wiped too
(again)
They appear to have put a newer version of the software on though, I wonder if this is version 13?
The one very visible change I can see is they have changed many of the fonts in the navigation maps.
Not only is much more information shown, it's clearer - especially road numbers. There is a greater level of detail shown at lower zoom. For instance now at the 900 yard level, it shows names of major roads, and B road numbers.
Something odd seems to happened to my throttle mapping
I'm hoping this will sort itself after I have driven it around for a bit.

how did you know about the air bag recall....does it only affect E60's built between certain dates? I called BMW GB with my VIN and they said I had no recalls outstanding againt my car.

My dealer rang me yesterday, and the car is going in for the recall in two weeks time.
Does anyone know exactly what this re-call is for??
The chap on the phone was a bit vague.....said somthing aout airbag sensors.
