Hello all,

About to order a 535d sport and have a few more questions.

I'm over in uk UK and ordering a new built 535d sport, dealer tells me the car was built in June.

1,What is the latest Software Version for I-drive and how to find out what it is, the dealer tells me it will have the latest but i somewhat dont belive him...?

2,Whats the latest NAV DVD software i should be supplied with?

Before collection it, is there any other checks i should make sure have been done by the dealer?

Thanks

New cars get the newest software.
Used cars SHOULD get it before they are sold again.

Latest is CIP 23.x and you can't find out yourself, only the dealer can tell you the version. ON a new car you shouldn't worry about, it will be the newest.

Latest software is PROGMAN V 23.1
Rollout is September 2006. When your car is built in June, you must request the update to V23.1 ( Your software is V22 )

As Iceman said you shouldn't worry about this. Dealers always update SW in a new car before delivery.

If i called the dealer where i bought it from last week will they be able to tell me the s/w version. I really dont think they would have updated it as the PDI was not done too well (wiper was loose, dent in the alloy)

Why would they do this it takes six hours of download and cost money. I know for a fact that in UK and Ireland they dont update the software. Time is money
