My vehicle
iDrive settings
Software update
Show current version

I have a 2018 with current versions:

TB 006.027.001
Media 006.027.001

When I go to the website and type in my VIN it says there is an update available with the current versions:

TB 001.062.032
MB 001.062.040
HB 001.062.032

I would have guessed based on the numbers that my current version appears to be newer than than what is being recommended to update too.

The only reason I'm exploring this is because my phone has been having issues connecting via Bluetooth on a couple of occasions.
I'm having Bluetooth and CarPlay issues as well. My 2019 M4 shows the following:

Telephone: TB-006.074.002
Media: MB-006.074.002

The BMW website showed me the same options as you got:

TB 001.062.032
MB 001.062.040
HB 001.062.032

I am also unable to make any sense of BMW's versioning nomenclature.

In addition, after repeatedly following their instructions to a T, I am unable to update via USB. I've tried with various USB drives containing the .bin file as is, and also having decompressed/expanded the .bin file as recommended on one of the videos I found on YouTube.

No luck.

I do have to say that these problems with bluetooth etc began after the dealer "upgraded" the software on the car for an unrelated issue.

This is exactly what I was curious about. Thank you for sharing this.

I have not attempted to update via the website yet. Perhaps I will give it a shot now.

Will let you know if I have any success.
