Of course. If they provided a software update and it is causing problems with the vehicle and not operating in the correct fashion, they would be obligated to get it working correctly. Even if that means swapping out the code strage chip with a new one. I think this is a rumor though. I can not believe that they would really have a limitation on this since they have had so many problems with the original 7 series system and aslo how long these cars (bmws) are intended to last.
