[/quote]When I purchased my car part of the deal was to have a print out of the software version number. My car (only a couple of weeks old now) goes in for some software work next week. No RDS and suddenly BT that was there has taken a vacation! My 545 came with v14, they will either fix the problem or update to the new version. It has to stay there for 4 days so I am guessing it is the update to 15.

About software...some thoughts
This community seems very keen on having all latest software updates. (Myself included) Driving a 545i Touring for about 5 months now, several interim software updates screwed 2 CCC units and some bugs still remain.
Personally, I believe BMW will never sort out all problems, and at the time they will, a new 5-serie is released.
The lesson is learned is: don't update your software except in case of major trouble. Read what other experience - let them do the beta -testing- an don't drive your self crazy
And if you are really getting nervous about the fact that your software is not the latest visit your dealer with some unidentified error and have the update done.
Can I have V 15.1 now

after calling my dealer today again since my monday appointment was canceled due to no software yet, they called BMW of NA & were told that V14 is NOT yet ready for release, as they are currently reworking & bug fixing it.
i guess that is a good thing ... as we might have some chances of NOT having the same or worse issues.
maybe you had received an updated & reworked version 14 then ICEMAN?

I was told by my dealer (last Saturday) that 14 is not even coming and they are waiting for v15. The latest version they currently have is 13.2 How come BMW of NA is so disorganized? Maybe it's time to contact BMW AG (corporate)?

My dealer (Germany) has 14 and has installed it on some cars, now he needs 15 to fix them.
