Just released Service Bulletin to dealers on covering software upgrades under warranty. What many have been running into in recent times. Good reason to keep a list of complaints at hand that may be fixed by software upgrade, especially those covered in a Service Bulletin.

In fact just today I got a quote from BMW that told me to have the Voice input retrofit the car's software needed to be first updated, hardware part installed and then software upgraded again.
This SIB clearly states that BMW cannot charge me for the former software update.
