Software update for iOS 7

BMW finally released a software update UPD05021 which includes better compatibility for iOS 7, at least for the phone functionality

Has anybody found this made any difference?

I did the software update to my car this past weekend and note no difference w/ my iphone 5 running iOS7.

Text messages come thru iDrive Office ok for the most part.

Emails will only come through if, after bluetooth connection between car and phone is established, I kill the mail app. I was hoping that after the update I would not have to do this any longer.

What the what? My iDrive doesn't import any text messages or emails from my iPhone. Best it does is pickup directions sent from the app to the "Office" portion of the iDrive. How?

Didn't know there's a site where you can update based on VIN. How can I get to that page?

I also have a pre 7/2012 f30. My wife has the new 2014 X3 so I can download the new UPD05021 (Latest Version, 43.6 MB) using her VIN. But my fear is, will the new software not work or ruin the software on my car? Anyone have any experience with this?

That would be interesting, although I think the update would fail due to the different HW

If your brave enough to try it, let us know how it goes.

I assume you still have warranty. :-)
