Well as today is 9/11 the day I came out a coma 20 years ago, to what I thought was a film, from a bad RTA I didn't really feel like playing with her

But tomorrow is a fresh day and I have been looking around the forum and googling everything so my to-do list is growing by every click of my mouse

But as I'm planning on playing with the software first BMW's software update page says their is an update so I've downloaded it, got it on a mem stick ready, but a couple of queries

I was just planning on hocking up an external PSU to the posts in the engine bay while I was playing with BimmerCode but reading up on the update I see a few mentions of having to have the engine running for the at least 20min update I'm curious if this is cause you need the engine alive rather than just the ignition or if its to do with currant drawn during the update?

Secondly what is the best way to update the map thats stored?
