Hi all - '05 545i in for regular service - wanted to "update" the "operating system - was told there are "200 computers" in the car - said, ok, the "main" system - told that only happens if there is a covered item that is wrong which would require this - what kind of items qualify - what is the more precise reference to the "main" system - in other words, what is it that I am really asking them to do and how can I get it done! - thanks, ed

On cars with nav the main unit is called CCC, on cars w/o nav it's the M-ASK.
The software can be updated, if a newer version is available.
Those software updates are known as CIP or PROGMAN updates and we are currently on version 25.xx
Version 26 will be available soon.
During the update process all other modules that need an update will be updated too. The disc contains all the changes, so if there is a newer version for one of your modules this will be updated during the flashing process.
All you need is a reason for the update. If you have a reason the dealer will update your car with the newest software to solve the problem.

Many thanks IM - what are some of the typical issues that people have that require a module update that in turn will update all the systems? - for example, i have the false alarm with the right front window where it goes up half way and believes it has hit something - in fixing that, will they end up doing the full update? - thanks again, ed

The last big fix was the CD issue. The CD kept spinnig when the key was taken out. When you come back your CD was a couple tracks further as it was when you parked the car.
With 25 this was fixed.

You'll allways get the newest version, so everything will be updated if there is an update for the module.

Why or when they give you an update seems to vary from dealer to dealer. My car was delivered to me on March 20th this year (I bought it CPO) and I told them I was not getting TMC (RTTI for those of you in the US) messages and they told me to bring it in for an update. Given the date on which it was delivered to me, I would not be surprised if it already had Progman 25.0.0 on it, and they are now putting on 25.1.0, or so I am told.
It's in at the moment, and I get it back tomorrow. Am real curious to see what they have achieved with it.

ps. the TMC messages sorted themselves out in the interim when I started using the 2007-01 Nav DVd, but I have not told the dealers that

I don't think my MASK March 2004 has ever been updated. The hidden menu says 04-09-500 which is earlier than version 16. I'm keen to get it upgraded FOC so that I have the option of installing an ipod adapter without paying mega bucks for the necessary ProgMan upgrade. The cd spinning issue doesn't hold, mine works perfectly. How else can I get the upgrade under my used BMW warranty?
