Remote software upgrade 7/2023.53 - anyone else having issues?

orla2509 · 10-23-2023, 10:04 AM

Latest from the dealer is that the Update has finally gone through okay but the battery is seriously degraded after all this and they are replacing it. On order and expected in tomorrow afternoon so hopefully should have my car back Wednesday - 12 days after attempting the update!!!

By the way, I finally noticed that your profile said "I Shoot People For Money" which I assume means photography?(but if it's the other kind... well.. I'll just pretend I dont' see anything)

My oldest cousin used to be a TV commercial model about 20 years ago. She had a poster of herself made and the caption said:

"people shoot me at work all the time, but I have no bullet holes in my dresses!"

growing up, I always hoped that someday a family secret woudl come out that she was adpoted or mixed up with another baby after birth in the hospital... but unfortunately, she and I are very much related by blood.

Yup, been a full time photographer for close to 20 years now.

Hi. My car says I’m up to date on 07.2023.45 so maybe this is not available to me yet?

.45 or .53 will not have any changes I don’t think. At least nothing significant. It might be a regional thing. So unless you get it updated in the shop, I don’t think you will get the .53 update

Thank you

Hi! I have a rather general question: Do I understand correctly that you can have software 07/2023.53 with iDrive8, iDrive 8.5 or iDrive9?
It doesn't work that, for example, version 07/2023.53 is iDrive8.5 and all previous versions of the software were iDrive8?

You can have version 07/2023.53 with iDrive 7. But only a small part of the update would actually apply to iDrive 7.

Anyone else with the same problem: since the 07/2023 update, Digital Art mode is no longer available. I don’t use it, and it doesn’t bother me that it’s no longer there, but I think it’s bad from BMW to remove this after a software “upgrade”

Mine has never had Digital Art from the start. Just Personal, Sport, Efficient, and Expressive.

Mine is still there after the upgrade.

That’s strange. Some never had it, some got it removed, and some still have it. I wonder if it’s a regional thing

Who knows what goes on with BMW.

a0krn · 11-02-2023, 02:06 PM

I wish bmw would give us more freedom to change the background and ambient color per mode.

I'm going to have that as a bumper sticker! (with your permission, of course)

since I dont' need a front license plate, perhaps I'll put it on the front?

You certainly do have my permission GO FOR IT

Confirm mine is there post-upgrade (Personal, Sport, Efficient, and Digital Art)

But it seems you don’t have Relax mode. Unless this is specific to users who have the optional lumbar support/massage seats

The way BMW mixes driving modes, ambiences, and customization, and very limited customization for start up, is nonsensical and very frustrating!
1st class platform with UI designed by people ignoring needs/likings of their customers.

I agree. There should be 3 modes, maybe 4 at most. Personal, Sport, and Efficient. More customization of the modes (at least ambient color), and steering feel would be nice.

U11sirgawain · 11-03-2023, 05:44 AM

I'd say, urban, road, and highway modes. Each one candidate as being selected as default mode.....and each one with persistent customization of both driving and ambience every setting!
Anyway, the naming is secondary to being fully customizable (with persistency) and selectble as starting mode.
Just my view
