Everything is possible.
If you have the right equipment.
But the equipment is waaaaay too expensive, so the usual E60 driver can'T do it at home.
And even if I could, I wouldn't do it myself for several reasons.

Perhaps Bmw should run Microsoft.

Anyone attempted to update the software themselves?

If something is wrong during software update and you cannot fix it, chances are warranty would be voided. Update sw at dealer would cost 1/2 hr to 1hr labor, so why risk?

1/2 an hr eh... the BMW garage here has come interesting angles.
Bought the car and asked them to do it for free whilst they valet and prep it (Should be free as they're already working on the car???)
Asked on the costs and they quoted 2 hrs labour (that was yesterday)
Asked someone else 10 minutes ago.... 2 days!!!!
oh well... lets try another BMW garage. Any recommendations in the UK (Birmingham)
