Software update

So my (well the wife's) M135i went in for its first service (hit by the time as I've had the car 2 years) She has done 2300 miles

Anyway, there was 3 recall notices for the car - one of which required the car to have all of its software updated. Since doing it, the dash display seems more colourful? And also has a M135i logo when you get in the car. (this is a CIC car as opposed to NBT which I assume is now delivered on new cars).

Other than that I can't see any specific changes or new features. BMW Battersea did a good job as usual.

Cheers,
Neil.

Cheers for the heads up.

yup
and as I understand it there is a notice out for all M135i's to have software update so might be worth checking with your dealers as its free!

When you take your car in for a service they will just do it if applicable to your car. I've just had a software update, grommets removed to stop the leaf build up and some sort of anti corrosion under the bonnet.

Another 10k till service is the update worth me asking them to do it asap or not really any noticeable difference? thanks again

p.s sorry on a side question does anyone know if the option to adjust sport mode via I-Drive is only if you have the M Suspension? thanks

CIC and NBT are the nav systems. CIC is what originally came with the M135i. NBT I assume but don't know for sure is what I guess comes on the M135 now? it has the touch controller.

My M5 and M4 have NBT.

Well it is 16 months old after all. No bug fixes or enhancements in that time?

Plus if similar cars have been updated is there a reason mine has not been?

Plus no recalls done, Should I be suspicious of the dealer.

Do you have rubber grommets under the bonnet by the windscreen. I know they were removed under a product quality improvement on mine? I can't remember the other but I think it was a hinge and the battery. Mine also had a software update but it's no different apart from the welcome logo.

I'd be surprised if there was stuff to do and they didn't do it as they get paid for it and it's all logged.

Can someone help with a recall code/name for this update? I am having a tough time communicating with my Chinese dealer and it appears he want to charge me ~$60 for the update - which I believe should be for free.
