As far as I know, without the proper equipment, updating the software is not a DIY job...

shouldn't updates be free?
HEELLOOO This is BMW we're talking about. Last time I asked for something free I got a reply of.....FFRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE?????? (in the context of Dime bar??? if you can remember those ads)
Never mind, I wish they were free, but with the amount of iDrive cars sold against number of updates (seems there are more than what Microsoft produce!) logistically it would be a nightmare!

Hummm did you get Microsoft Vista for free? I mean that a software update from DOS right?
