I took in my car for service and some i-drive isues. My car was upgraded to version 16.1. It seems to have upgraded me to most of functions ascribed to version 16.2 here on the board. this includes perspective view on Nav etc. I wonder if 16.1 is the real upgrade.Appreciate any comments or clarification.

What he left was the SB on CIP 16.1, so I complained 'why did you do that' and he said there really were no changes for the E60 between 16.1 and 16.2 and the actual bulletin for that release would not have been as useful for E60.

Will the 16.1 or the 16.2 correct the problems? TIA
cheers

The release notes say "Automatic headlamps change when vehicle both enters and leaves a tunnel." so that also applies to the problem with the headlights you mention.

My rain sensor got better with version 16.1 and boot up is much fater. Throttle response and engine at low rpm's behave better. I have a 6 speed manual

Did you get a "status report" with the ... E060-XX-XX-XXX ... software version number printed on it?

Hey, gastro! Did you get the update at Dreyer & Reinbold? Do you now have MP3 playback capability? When was your car built -- after 03/2004, I assume?
