Anyone else got an opinion on the latest progman update??

Veight did you bring your car in today? Brought mine in this morning and gave my SA a printed copy of the SIB concerning my misssing NAV Pop Up Arrow and requested v27.2 to remedy the problem. I am now the proud temporary owner of a '07 328i.

Well I brought my car in at 8 am and got it back at 5 pm. I had the ground wire campaign done, and also told the SA that my Nav arrows don't go on when i have a destination set in my idrive. He looked at me like I was from Mars. I wasn't about to quote him SIB 846106, it would have been too suspicious. So then I said oh I have rough idling too (which I do have on rare occasion). He seemed to hear that one before so he said they would "look into it".

Well I got the car back and they had reprogrammed it but i'm not sure what version I got. The Invoice says... Customer reports that the vehicle Idles rough at first start.
Tech updated Vehicle Software per SIB611403 for cold idle fluctuations.

Now when I look up SIB611403 I see it is for progman update Apr 07 CIP 25.01. This is per Cobradav's listing of SIB codes.

I wonder whether they keep the same SIB number for every version of CIP update. If so I probably got 27.2. I see my nav is nicer looking . I noted that Doug 999 had problems with his phone pairing, but I went to Idrive and repaired my razr and it worked in like 3 seconds. Hopefully everything else works too.

What would tell me if I truly have progman version 27.2.

Wow, congrats on the great service, something I'm not use to...I brought mine in at 8m and was told it was going to take till at least tomorrow. This is the third time I have brought it in for the missing pop up nav arrow, rough idle, slow idrive at start-up. This time I brought a hard copy of the SIB detailing the fix for the problems. I got a call a few hours later from the SA asking what I meant by missing pop up arrow in the Nav., even after having given them the hard copy. I have told them in detail the problem three previous times. I don't understand why we have access to this information yet this dealership can't figure out how to or refuses to fix the problem. You would think it would be more cost effective to fix the problem the first time rather than spending three separate occasions pretenting to try to fix the problem hoping I would just give up. So mickey frickin frustrating.

Hey, congrats on the programming. I am a near by chicago resident and was just curious what dealer you went to for the recall? I would really appreciate it as I am ready to take in my M5 to get some warranty work done to it and I would really like to have my M5 updated to have the nice new looking I-Drive screen. Thanks

I brought it in yeasterday (monday) morning and got it back last night. I had a new 400 mile 328i too.

Knauz in Lake bluff. Get a valid M5 excuse for needing the programming. My rough idle issue got me mine for n/c. I dont think that one will work with the v10.

A service bulletin that requires a software update will usually specify that the car needs to be updated to a specific version or higher. The specific version is the minium version that fixes the problem but all future versions should also contain the fix. In other words, the dealer would have loaded the newest version they had at the time of the service, as long as it was the same or higher than the one specified in the bulletin. In case you didn't see it, here's a link to the specific bulletin that you mentioned (SIB611403):

(note the procedure at the bottom says "or higher" when it describes the software version...)

The only way to truly know what version you now have is to ask the dealer...
