My car got 11/2023.73 as an OTA update over the weekend. Here’s what I’ve found:-
- Load time is vastly improved and overall UI feels “snappier” to coin the Apple parlance.
- Driver Recorder now installed. Augmented View in the navigation now works.
- Spotify seems to be working properly again. I certainly haven’t had to uninstall/install/login since the update.
- Icon Sounds seem quieter, but that maybe just a settings change.
- Clutch/gearbox is still thick as custard, but I’ve got used to flicking to the sport setting of the gearbox when pulling away at traffic islands, junctions etc.
I was under the impression that Drive Recorder and Augmented View were part of a dealer only update. I have an appointment with my BMW service centre which I may cancel and live with the car for a week or so (and avoid any risk of getting hit with the £180 “diagnostic fee” l).
I will update again after a week which should be plenty of time for old problems to re-surface.
