Anyone know if its possible to Manually update the iDrive software? I called the dealer, they want 4 hours to update the firmware @ $125/hr. Thought I would throw this out there.
Thanks
Mike

Find a local BMW specialist with a GT-1 and get them to do it.
Why Do you need a Idrive software update any how? You don't list your car and short of a 535i that is having the turbos/HPFP/wastegate/lag issue, usually most idrive updates short of the mp3 stuff you will never notice.

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
As far as I've been reading, this is something better left to a dealer, in case there are download problems.

I want to throw the ipod interface in the glovebox, but in order to do this, you need update the software to recognize MP3. I got a 2006 530i with Sport package. Black on black.
