Has anyone had the software upgrade which activates the progressive breaklights that get brighter the harder you brake? I think its standard everywhere apart from Europe!
Anyone know anything on this life threatening topic

See link here BFD.
I raised it last year and finally got BFD activated on my E60. Took a while but its been done and I've tested it out too. Read the whole thread for details...might be an interesting read.
Us guys teaching the dealers on what to do.Hope you gets yours done.

BFD is ONLY active when ABS kicks in, and when you come to a complete stop. Just at the very end of your emergency stop.

Yes I had squealing then ABS, but I did not come to a complete stop as Iceman is suggesting. After all the sand is gone here in NY, I will try it as Iceman states.
