Software Updates for F30

Hi, Does anyone know where else I can get the updates from apart from BMW? I did have the latest update but rolled it back as I was having issues. If I go to BMW updates, it says I already have the latest update..... but I don't as I rolled it back, so it's not giving me the option to download it.

Thanks
James

You should be able to download it here:
"https://static.bmw.com/content/dam/bmw/staticContent/static_bmw_com/bluetooth/updates/bmw/bin/UPD01008.bin"

Replace the .bin file name in that URL to the file you're looking for.

Of course...

Simply set fire to your car, claim the insurance money, then go to the dealer and buy a G20 model

Hi there, mine is F30 from 2013, when i checked the software update from the official BMW site, it says that i'm running the latest software. Is it true that in 8 years there is no software update at all for my car?

Is there a curated list of all updates for the BT firmware somewhere?
Seems BMW's web server does allow directory listing

Thank you very much. I followed all the steps and it works perfectly.

Just a couple of remarks:

- FAT 32 format for USB drive. It does not work for NTFS format.
- It just worked by using the USB slot placed between both front seats (armrest), not the one placed inside the glove box.

I used the file called "UPD01008.bin" with last software version available.

Now Spotify songs are recognised by BMW's Bluetooth system and therefore now both song title and artist appear, whilst up to now the only information show at BMW's screen was "Various Artists - Various Songs".

Warm regards from Spain

Thank you for sharing information about formatting a USB drive and how to use the USB slot in your car. Yes, the FAT32 format is often the right choice for devices such as cars, and the USB slot on the armrest is often used to connect storage devices.

I was wondering, is it required to update the BMW software before the navigation can be updated? Or can this be done independently? My car is a BMW320i F30 from 2015, it has never been updated before (for both regular software and navigation). I would appreciate some advice, thank you for your time.

Navigation can be updated seperately

Thank you LietuvisIsKauno for answering. I will dive into the navigation part and figure it out.

Cool F30 2013 hu-cic to nbt

Guys,

Any help please I have f30 2013 base unit hu-cic with navigation on the 6.6 screen

I want to upgrade this screen size to 8.8 and I know my system can't be coded for that so I've found a head unit NBT with the 8.8 screen with idrive controller for sale as a package also from a 2013.

Can I retro fit this with coding also apart from coding is it plug and play ?
