Hey guys,

I don't think I've ever gotten a software upgrade since the car was purchased back in 11/04. Would I benefit from getting a software upgrade in any way at all?

I tried looking through the search function, but I couldn't find anything. I googled it and I read that the screen looks different, nav (which I don't have) looks diff, screen changing is smoother, booting is faster, and I also read from one thread that for SMG, the shifting was a lot smoother.

Any comments/input is appreciated.

Thanks,

i too need to do this

:l

going to have to when i put y new seat sensor in

since i bought the car before two years i never took my car to the dealer or upgraded the idrive im going to do that soon but im afraid of the price i dont want to sell my leg .
2004 530i

My dealer loaded the latest SW on my 5 and charged 100 Euros ex VAT. Seems they are an exception with the price though ;-) )

As for benefits,
Some bugs are removed, it is somewhat faster and the colors are a bit more avid. (specially in Navigation mode)

Ar.
