Anyone here has update theirs to version 17 yet ? First time they tried updating, my service advisor told me that it crashed so they have to keep my car for a few more days?

I don't think even V15 is available in California...still 13.x
And I don't understand why any state, let alone California would be behind the rest of the country for software updates.? My understanding is that all downloads are done directly from BMWNA, so shouldn't everyone have the same access to the same versions?? Or, was I misled by my SA, who clearly knows less than anyone on this board?

My Ride: 530iA Silver Grey , black interior. Premium Package, Navigation System, Head-up Display, Radio Satellite, Adaptive Xenon Headlights. AC Schnitzer Front Lip, H&R springs, Rear red reflector, All season Floor mat,
I have collected my car today, FINALLY !! Miss it so badly.. well luckily i don't have to pay extra charges for the loaner car.
As for the Software, i re-confirm with my SA again. He said it is V17.. but i told him that it's not OUT yet. Well, i think my software is 13.3 . nothing written on the print out sheets though.. but now it seems that i'm driving a new car. The handling is much better (due to wheel allignment) and the throttle delay is MUCH better right now. YAY !

Maybe he has 15.2 and thinks the .2 needs to be added... LOL
It's amazing that he doesn't even know what software he has.

I was told by my SA that I had been upgraded to V 15 late this afternoon. It has allegedly fixed my serious problems. Hope I know more if I can get the car back in another day or so.

Just dropped off my e60 in England and the service advisor showed me the disk with 15.1 on it.(yes it's on a disk)
He also said they had a BMW tech in today, and in the past the tech's had later software loaded on their laptops.He asked if I would be happy to try later software if it's available, I said yes.
Just out of interest, he also said they had new programing computers which can update six cars at once, previously being limited to one at a time.
Regards
Simon
