BMW Software Update
There is a link displayed on my head unit to update the software using USB.
The link is www.bmw.com/update. For me, the above link redirects to https://www.bmw.com/content/bmw/mark...e-updates.html. When I enter my VIN, I get this message: Quote:
The production date of my vehicle was May 5, 2018. I would expect to be able to download the existing version of software, not a vague error such as I'm getting. Is the above error normal? |

Yup, got back from BMW and it's dead.
"Thanks for contacting the BMW Genius Team. We appreciate your inquiry. Our apologies for the inconvenience as the software update site (www.bmw.com/update) is currently down and not accepting VIN's. We are aware of the issue and are currently working to get the function restored. " |

Guys I'm very new with this. I have a 2014 F30. Does this update improve the Bluetooth functionality and possibly play text message chimes while connected via Bluetooth using my iPhone ? Thanks in advance

I have a F30 340i. Just went on the website to download the software onto a USB using my VIN. Plugged the usb into my car and it says can not install software on USB. What gives?

I just looked up my vin on the BMW update site. I have a 2018 440 GC. My current versions of my software are TB 005..., MB 005..., HMI 006 ...
I just looked up my vin and it says the latest version for my car is TB 001.063.040 & MB 001.062.040 & HB 001.062.032. The file is bin 9041. Is it possibly correct to go from 005 to 001? |
