I still have version 15, I think. What are the improvements included in versions 16, 17 or 18, specially on the bluetooth side of things (i.e., can it now see incoming text messages, etc.) or MP3

I think E60Speed gave us some info on 18.0 or 18.1 but nothing exciting there either.

unlike updating the sw, activating the bluetooth isn't free 
. you can tell your dealer something wrong w/your car or idrive and they'll update the sw under warranty but they'll charge you at least an hour labor for bluetooth activation (they charged me 2 hours). updating the sw also improves the throttle delay that some of us had experienced. i have 16.2 but i remember at least one member mentioned 17.x and up is even better than 16.2.
