So if I知 about to get BM3 should I have my DME updated first? I知 not having any problems at the moment. With DME update I知 assuming I値l have to get any coding re-done.

not sure if there is any benefit, but why not!, ask PTF.

Glad it worked for you too wajahatM. I didn't know about the triangle color difference tho. Good info.

Eloy

Edit: Just checked mine and it still has the orange triangle. But I never updated the idrive/nav/headunit modules.

I mean I didn't see a benefit in doing an update until I installed my JB4 and caused some issues. Maybe doing an update would help avoid any issues that would come about. All I had to do was drop off my car on the way to school, get a loaner, then pick it up the day after.
Also you'll lose all of your coding, but if you're a simple man like myself just invest in a vGate adapter and bimmercode. You can recode everything in like 15 mins after your get your car back.

Also big thank you to Mouse for sharing his solution to this problem!
