My Ride: 535D AM SPORT 06 (07 for you US Guys ;-) Carbon Black Professional Sat Nav 6CD Changer Automatic Aircondition Advance (Standard fit) Bluetooth Telephone Preperation with Telematics Preperation Extended Voice Control System M 19" Mixed Wheels Style 172M BMW Online BMW Assist Graduated Tinted Windscreen Bi-Xenon Headlights Adaptive Headlights Headlight Wash System Black Dakota Leather Rear Spoiler Spare Wheel M Rear Spoler Sun Protection Glass Heated Front Seats BMW Velour Floor Mats BMW Service and Maintenance for 5 years/60,000 miles Tracker - Echo

Ok I'm tempted - can I just go in to my dealer and demand them to upgrade me or will I have to say:

1) My Nokia N95 doesn't work with my BT
2) My Cd keeps spinning when I leave the car
3) My Idrive is slow
4) My Gear change is jerkey

How long does this upgrade take?? And oh do the eyebrows stay on with this update? How can I be sure they give me v25 and not an older one???

Thanks

I like it! No problems so far, just improvements: engine ticking noise gone/reduced, smoother steptronic shifts, slam may be gone, throttle response more even in D, DS & M modes, nicer menus, faster iDrive response, CD really stops when you key off.

Yep, same here, no problems at all. I printed out the service bulletins for CD skip, etc. and had it done along with my normal service oil change. I actually like the new S/W version. Looks a lot better.

Things I had done:
- Progman 25
- Door seal replacement, due to squeaking noises
- DRL finally turned on
- Regular oil service
- Completely detailed

All for $0.00....awesome!
