I'm having the new seals fitted today along with some other work - I'll report later on how 'good' they are!
Also, having CIP18.1 put on to resolve some small issues - primarily on the steptronic I hope...
They are claiming that 18.1 will fix my failed adaptive headlights - I'm not convinced, it's seems more mechanical to me!!!?

I got 18.1 a couple weeks ago.
Got the Perspective Nav... the iDrive loads faster than before.... The voice recognition takes twice as long now.... and when you turn the car on with a CD that was left muted/paused while parked, the cd starts playing but stays muted, so you lose your place on the disc.

[/quote]The paperwork said 18.1 but that could well be 18.00.01...
As a matter of interest they were quite happy to code because of recall... That saved lots of 'arguments'

Also see why someone would get some apparent new symptom if they had not kept updating as u get all the cumulative fixes. For instance if subterFUSE went from pre 16.1 version to 18.xx he would get all the intermediate changes and start seeing some new things to him that others might have seen at earlier CIP upgrades. That's why it is so important to include CIP version (old and new) when stating problem, symptom or resolution to problem.
Anyway I digress, thanks again

However, as expected, 18.1 didn't fix the adaptive headlights - back again! (Motor control unit as already mentioned...)
