I actually stopped reading this forum every day b/c I tried to stop bringing my car into the shop every month...I need to decide if a new update is needed when I go in for oil and 10 other little things.

Search is your friend. There was a recent post that listed all you ask about.

I believe CIP 20 is out right now.
Anyway, I have a related question - I have no idea what software is installed on my car, but everything works perfectly as is right now. Should I upgrade the software? Or I'd be better off not doing anything at all?

unbelievable but i know it is like a drug you have to go on withdrawal and stop reading the forum,but you really have missed a lot .
in answer i didnt remember your spec e60 but apart from some bugs the updates to the latest 20 version is good added features to navigation and audio features suggest you get it. if the will do it for you
come back soon .

Yeah you might add few new things with the new software update, but you can also brake few things.

Do your search for CIP 20.00.00 bulletin and you will find the list of fixes in that Bulletin. You may also see from that bulletin what others have said, fix something, break something, and then fix that thing in a newer release but break something else. True in all software, but seems to be worse in our BMW software than should be expected.
