Good luck getting your car back soon. Dealer has to work with BMW Australia on this because along with getting your computer back up, BMW wants data to try to make sure this type of "brick" doesn't become epidemic.

It is about $1500AUD I recall. For that money (and even $875) I can do a speaker/amp upgrade to my sportline that will kick the HK out of the park IMHO. The difference between the SportLine sound and the HK sound was different (better), but for the extra money vs the sound quality increase I cold not hear the value. Just a personal opinion.
BTW, I asked both one of the mechanics and the Service agent, but neither had any details on the SW update, only that it was recent (less than 8 wks old) and was minor so would only be applied to cars in for service, no need to apply as a recall.
