A couple of weeks ago the service manager at my dealer told me he had the latest software that would fix the eyebrows and improve the fix they performed for the rough start issue that they cured by shipping my DMS to north jersey. I think I remeber reading here that Ver. 25 would have significant upgrades. Anybody have any more info?...Should I wait?...

There have been several bulletins in the audio/nav related issues/areas that have stated several major fixes are slated for March 07. That does not pin it down to a specific PROGMAN version, only a date, and then only if you believe that BMW can deliver on that date. I know I have to take my car in for service now and I am going to save my real issues for after March to see if some of these have REALLY been fixed.

Spoke to the dealership today.
They got 24.01 loaded yesterday.
No fix for the eyebrows, but I'm having it anyway for the ipod connector.
According to them 25 will be released in March, which hopefully fixes the eybrows.

What version did you have previously? I thought 24.00 didn't have the eyebrow issue!?

Well after seeing the refreshed BMW, looks like there might be a couple of reasons to wait for the software upgrade. What do you guys think?
