Mine was in 2 weeks ago for CIP update. Shop foreman didn't want to put 19.0 on. He said 18.x was very stable and because of the problems they have had in past CIP updates, my best bet was 18.x So I got 18.x

Well, in great anticipation of 19.0 to fix my brow lights etc. the car was booked in for next week.
Today the dealer calls to say that BMW head office has said that they must stop all installs of 19.0, also that 19.1 is also faulty and that dealers must wait for 19.1.1 which has no release date.
What the hell is going on with these software releases? Why do BMW continue to release poorly tested code?
Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Version 24.4 is nowhere even close to being out. Maybe I'm not understanding you. Version 19 is the absolute latest.
Just had my 545 updated with the latest 24.4 not sure what is going on steering feels wierd but accelration is better.

I had my car at the dealer Monday for some work and they upgraded my CIP to 18.0.? I guess we in the US always get new stuff late (new car models like M5, CIP, etc.).

my car is being updated as we speak. I hope everything will be okay. Dealer said he didn't receive any notices about version 19. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Is version 19 supposed to be the one with MP3 capability?

I think we should relax a bit. I mean, look at Cisco. Their website is littered with endless lists of stillborn code revs in various trains. This just happens - bugs are found and they yank the code, replacing it with a newer rev.
It's not about QC - and it's not a BMW thing, or a MS thing, or a Cisco thing. It's just the way it works.
