Want updated iStep

Hi All,

I am coming up on a month of having my '16 CPO M2 and believe that the car's software has never been updated. I notice some annoyances like the PDC beeping until I turn off the car and I'm sure that there are other areas of improvement. Any magic words to get my dealer to do the update under warranty? I do have some glitches with the iDrive, but would like to get it all done in one shot.

Thanks,

Tom

Tell them you have Bluetooth issues with latest iOS and mention iDrive freezes.

The dealer did in fact update the car for me under warranty. It seems like a full refresh. The issues that I was having with the iDrive freezing seem to be gone and the PDC no longer continuously beeps even when in neutral after backing up. I had to recode with Bimmercode after the update and all is back to the way I want it except that I can no longer have 5 turn sign indications when in the auto mode.
