Will give it a day or so and see if I get another notification that an update is available and try again.

Mine hasn't installed either, probably due to short runs but will try with headlights off.

Nope, will need a run to charge battery.

Interestingly if you switch the lights to OFF then start the car, they immediately go back to AUTO and can't be switched to OFF whilst the engine is running.

Went for a longer run and at the end of it it offered to install the update. All happened and got a notification on my app to say it’s done.

My coding options have gone so I need to put the b&w sound options back and the default start in sport individual back. That’s my job for tomorrow. ;)

I contacted BMW Connected drive team today and they did whatever they do and assured me it will be updated on the car within 24 hrs with no further input needed from me.

Just in case there was an issue, they also created a new link to the upgrade on the App which is now on my phone ready to download if what they say doesn't happen. Must say was impressed by the service :thumbsup:

What they also said was there is already another upgrade available but not yet ready to do remotely. They suggested next time I was passing a dealership, to pop in and they could do both at the same time while I had a coffee.

If you haven't already done this upgrade, may be worth delaying it till the other is also available remotely.

Well I had only done short journeys (less than one mile) for 2 days. Friday I drive to St Albans about 15-20 miles and it worked a treat.

Recoded car today too. Now it starts in sports individual again. ;)

I drove mine for about a mile today. When I pulled back into the drive it asked me if I wanted to do the update. Told me to put it in park then I could exit and lock the car. About 15/20 mins later I got a push notification from the my BMW app saying it was complete :thumbsup:

    Oke and yes driving to the dealer is also an option.

    Also done yesterday, was relatively painless, downloaded to the phone first, uploaded during a drive out and then installed whilst parked. :thumbsup:

    Spirited drive for about 15 miles, battery obviously still not in a position to allow update as still showing pending. Work commute is now only 5 miles each way, so may need to stick car on the CTEK next weekend.

    Just overnight on the Ctek (with all leds lit) was enough for mine to initiate installation the next morning

    Was out in mine for the first time today, it’d changed the dash displays, and not for the better. No rev counter on comfort, shows that bloody stupid, how much power/energy you’re using and battery regen. Can’t seem to get is back to what I want. Very little time playing around with it so may be able to be done

      I was able to get rev counter back by display - settings I think.
