Hopefully this is not hijacking the thread. I recently brought my 17 ZCP in to do some warranty work which the SA told me will require a full update to "all" systems.
Work complete and i'm noticing a few quirks, especially with the iDrive unit. It seems slower, even laggy when jumping from various menus Maps -> Media for example. Prior to the update, when in Navigation and I touch the trackpad, the screen auto jumps to an interactive map. this has now gone away and I have to go into a submenu to get interactive map. - is this a setting/user issue? Anyone else have this experience? |

I was at the service center last month to get the BMW assist account transferred into my name and while i was there i asked if the software needed to be updated, they advised me that it was in fact old and if i wanted the update i would have to pay. i was surprised and declined. Ive had a few weeks to drive the car since and become more familiar with its characteristics and as i mentioned above, im feeling a very noticeable jerkiness in first gear, im not sure if the car is simply too powerful or im not finessing the throttle enough, often times in sport + it jerks violently 2 or 3 times before smoothing itself out. Will a software update fix this?

What you have to do is rather than slowly press the gas pedal in first gear, which will in turn give you that jerkiness, be more firm with the gas pedal, as in push it harder THEN modulate. If you go too soft it will jerk like crazy

I don't see how it could be an issue. BMW controls all the changes and they would know if there would be any issues in an upgrade like you'd have. Plus, if there were truly massive differences then the general population of BMW owners would be aware of it, instead of us geeks.

My SA wouldn't even update the firmware for me, he claimed "you must have the check engine light on for us to do it for free"...
Anyone know what I need to say exactly to get this done? |

My dealer said he doesn't recommend it if it isn't necessary. Sure, if I pay they'll do it, but he said there is no guarantee that everything will work after the update, so it's the customer's risk in case they have to fix it again.

This is exactly what my BMW service dealership told me as well. And you know they wouldn't likely turn down the revenue if this were not the case. Think of iPhone updates, patches or updates are not always seamlessly integrated.

Sorry but that doesn't make any sense. If they perform the update and something doesn't work, then that part gets fixed. Software updates are a regular part of troubleshooting for many issues - it's not like BMW says never update the cars.
