Beware of BMW HK's IDrive update
I picked up my car today after leaving it with BMW for 5 days to install the m-spoiler. Have to admit they did a good job. Didn't see any gaps between the spoiler and the trunk.
When I turned my engine on, I was surprised to see my album covers are not showing up. I asked what happened and they said they updated the Entertainment function of the I Drive. I then asked how do I make my album covers appear again. The service agent made a call and checked with the technician. He told me the new software won't show the album covers anymore WTF I drove away extremely furious. Then when I tried to access my phonebook to give someone a call, guess what? My phonebook was in a mess. The alphabetical order is gone. It's random now. First letter N, then D, then A, then T, and so on.... This was when I flipped. I called the SA again to tell him about the problem. He said he'll check. Beware of this upgrade!!!!! If nothing is wrong with your current software, don't upgrade it. Better yet, everytime you leave your car with them, tell them not to touch the software. I never asked them to update anything and they just did it on their own. I'm paying them a visit next week to ask them to fix the problem. Not sure if they can revert back to my old software. Probably not. |

That's not good bro. I'll take your advice.
For the phone book, mine is also messed up but I never had any software update. Don't know why. Good to hear they did a good job for your spoiler. No gap? Do they use tape or glue on? If tape there should be gap, right? At least a tiny one.

tough one, bro
I never got the album covers art to show anyway, but i only have individual mp3s so don't know if that's why Annoying for sure, perhaps steering, throttle lag/transmission is improved? maybe there are some positives |

The SA said the update only involved Entertainment. Didn't notice anything else. |

Holy~ i'm going in for service in two weeks time and was told about this new updates.
better tell them not to do it. Also, to replace a new key, it cost over $5000 since my wife drop it at Happy Valley last week and you need to take the car back to BMW to cancel that key's signal.( including re-coding and new key cost works out over $5000) |

That's bad bro.
My album cover did show up, not on all mp3 tho. Actually I don't really care about the cover, the most I hate is the Chinese song names from MP3. It only shows the correct chinese character in some occasions. Have you found any advantage after this update? Maybe the dvdinmotion can work now.. |

If you don't have the 6NR, you don't have album cover feature. Mine is sep 10 built and don't have.

Yeah, I curbed my rim again recently. Six or seven times already. Just leave it. Tried to park at the peak's pararell parking. Impossible to park unless curbing it. Crazy

I already have, human surround view that is. Had to get out of the car in some situations and check out the surrounding before parking into the space.
