I decided not to update after reading all info what's in the update, but now it's popping up every time I drive. Quite annoying.

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

    Called BMW connected yesterday and it turned out that my account was registered in the wrong country.
    Car is loosely coupled by the helping lady and today again coupled by BMW Germany. But still no notification of an update so far.

    Also get to see that the car is up to date. :x

      I downloaded the upgrade via the phone successfully onto the car today.

      Now have a message that I will be notified when I can install it. How long does that take?

      Presume so. Just come back from a visit to Newcastle which is 15 miles each way but how do you check?

      Needs to be in good condition to start update, mine won't so it's going on the CTEK at the weekend.

      I have a CTEK also but never needed it with the G29.

      If I connect it up, will it show the state of the battery?

      Thanks, looks like a job for tomorrow if the option to install hasn’t changed.

      The CTEK hasn’t even been out of the box, so will have to have a look on YouTube how to use it.

      Just do a 20 mile motorway journey. That will get the battery right up.

      Just checked and the battery charge was indeed low, now has been on charge for 4 hours and counting and hopefully this will resolve the issues.

      Does anyone know if there is a feature on the car that you can check the charge level before it gets to zero?

      A 150 round trip to York Christmas market before Christmas and a 200 mile trip to Birmingham Airport just after, should keep it topped up, but lesson learned. During winter months and normally short journeys, will be putting it on trickle charge once a month.
