Just got my car back from the dealer with 13.3 installed.

Fixed.

1. Turning the CD off now actually turns it off , not just muting it.
2. TMC now reports accurate mileage to problems
3. Both programmable buttons now 'programmable'.

Still to do

the old perennials

No voice command and MP3 still not working (not likely until next year).

when you say Turning the CD off now actually turns it off, are you referring to the entire audio system?? when you restart car, does it come back on like it does on prior versions?

It sounds like you upgraded from a version 11.x to 13.3. I can't speak for the TMC issue but the other issues you mentioned were fixed in version 12.x. It's good to see they didn't break any of them with the later version!!

JDN:
What is the story with your software update? You mentioned, on another thread, your car has been at the dealer for THREE WEEKS for a software update. What version did you have? What problems were you trying to cure? If this topic has already been covered, my apologies. Thanks for any insight.

That debacle ended with my 545 out of service for 28 days. The fix lasted for a month and the new CCC went out. I put it in the shop Wednesday (8th) and right now there is no "expected date" for me to get my car back. The dealer shop is stumped again and today they appealed to BMW NA for help. Right now it is 28 + 6 = 34 days and growing. It is frustrating that while I am waiting there is nothing being done on the oxygen sensor recall, the AC noise, or the radio turning itself on when the car is locked, or the static in some AM stations that calls for grounding the 3rd brake light. My confidence in this dealership is waning. Meanwhile, I've been using the X3, same one as before, for Santa's sleigh.

You should start the lemon law process. No go entirly through with it. That way if you ever feel the need to ge tra new 5er the paperwork is done and it will be a quicker transition. I dont know about texas but in Florida the BBB deals with lemons before the actual state. The BBB gets BMW NA involved in the repair, They maybe something similar in texas. You should check it out.
