Its a 2005 530. I'm looking forward to the MP3 playback and less random rebooting.

Let us know if MP3 works, your car's build date, and whether you have nav or not.

I have Nav - I will check on the production date and post the results when I get it back.
on a side note.. they gave me a 525xi. The steering felt a lot lighter at slower speeds and ride actually felt smoother then my 530.

I just got v20 on Tuesday. I noticed a big difference in the smoothness of the Steptronic. Active Steering feels much better too. I went from version 18 to 20. Also have MP3 now.

You didn't ask me my production date. Mine was built Feb 05. My service advisor told me that was 2 months prior to when MP3 should work. It did work though after the software update, but he told MP3 is an additional step on top of the update. Good thing I asked for it.

You are a month before me, I'd be curious to know if you get v20, if MP3 works for you.

I have been waiting for confirmation from people having pre-march, MY05 to see if mp3 is activated. I am not sure when I'll go in though. I might just wait till I have to put my summer shoes back on (late march) - that will save me a trip to the dealer.
