I believe - and want to say this will be the case - that your dealer is right. This should simply be a software update with the 5.0 hardware. Apple licensing rights may be holding up the software install date to 8/1/16, just a thought? Maybe the lawyers over at BMW HQ needed some extra time to get this all sorted
Agree. When asking about when a particular build week and pressing the guy, I found out that they just use Outlook to communicate when a build week is and not some internal system. So sometimes they have no better information than we do.
