I don’t understand the logic behind the updates. I picked my car at the end of July and it’s still in the 03/2024.

That is normal. The 07/2024 update has not yet been released (it can currently only be updated by BMW).

It should be released in a few weeks by OTA

my x1 received 3 updates since I bought it. all were applied automatically by the BMW service department during regular service. I have never received notifications about OTA updates. (this is in the US)

I have it in French, not sure what is the exact translation in English), and on the right I could choose between balanced or dynamic.
Now, the speed has been changed to numbers, 1, 2, etc. and on the right, I can choose from where the air will blow, feet, middle or windshield. It also looks like that the air conditioning is much quieter now, which I appreciate very much.

Another thing that I have noticed is that the option to automatically activate the parking break when turning off the car gets automatically disabled from time to time. A bit annoying.

I think this was already there before if you put the AC in manual mode, have they made manual and automatic both have numbers now maybe?

I just checked and you are totally right, I was not aware!
The software upgrade or the service at the dealer reset some of my settings (not all), and I didn't notice the auto button.
Thanks for the heads up!

By the way, I am having 2 annoying issues after the upgrade:

1. the setting to automatically activate the parking break when I turn off the car gets disabled after a few rides. I keep going in the settings and re-activate it.

2. my car is hybrid, and I use the function to recharge it only during certain hours in the night (cheaper with my electricity contract). This does not work anymore: the car does start charging. I need to revert the charging settings to charging immediately.

Did you also have any of these issues?
I contacted the dealer, but I doubt they will be able to help for these software related issues.

Still worth reporting them. They may patch in subsequent versions of 07/24.

Did the climate functions of idrive 8 update to the climate functions of idrive 8.5?

Any sightings of 07/2024 in the wild as OTA?

Downloaded for ID9 and currently at 90% transfer.

Still on 03/2024.40 here in the east coast of USA. I believe this one went OTA in June. So I’m assuming new 07/2024 software will be rolling out OTA sometime in October around here. 🤞🤞

I wonder if my BMW dealer's service dept gets paid when they update my car. Whenever there's a new update, the service advisor always calls and tells me to "stop by anytime so we can update your X1" They update mine to 07/2024 in 07/2024. same thing with the previous two updates. They called me just days after the updates were released. I don't really mind because they have really good freshly ground and brewed coffee, as well as all-you-can eat Krispy Kreme donuts.

I wish my dealer on LI, NY was that proactive. I’ve never received a phone call or other communication from them about prior software updates they could do.

Fact is, with exception to 1 of my 3 scheduled appts in March when I received paperwork about the service (s) that were done in an attempt to resolve ID9 related issues, they have not produced a paper trail of my issues. But on the good side, they went to work right away while I sat in the vehicle rather than having me wait or come back.

03/2024.40 was OTA for me in May and 03/2024.30 was early April.

Not sure why this latest update is slow to roll out.

Can you send us screenshots? I had this discussion with my dealer and they showed me that 7/24 is not available. Also, the dealer does get paid for updating and they must get it approved by BMWNA.

I got 07/2024.30 ID8 OTA several weeks ago at least (USA). It was kind of surprising because my X1 has generally been behind when it comes to updates.

well, I do have the much older X1 xdrive28i that runs on the ancient idrive8 software.

the dealer updated it to 07/2024.30 back in July.

perhaps it's not available for M35i yet?

What if any changes did you notice?

[FlashMonkey929]

Just got the software notification today. Running ID8, 28i, 9/22 production date.

I honestly haven't noticed any changes and haven't even checked out the new clock feature.

Oddly enough the wording of my Version Information Summary differs slightly from the screenshot from FlashMonkey929. Maybe because I don't have the HUD, I don't know.
