- the car let's you know you won't be able to use the car for several minutes while it updates

- it reset at least some of my BimmerCode changes, most notably the distracted driving warning every time I turn on the car. Super annoying!

- I feel the turning signal is louder know. Is this in my head? It's very annoying. Could not understand the complaints from people before in the forums, but now I hear and endorse it!


What has your experience been with this method of update and the latest upgrade?
I haven't seen one yet for my X3, except yesterday when I added the remote start. My wife's X7 had the over the air update about two weeks ago and it took about 20 minutes or so to complete. You have to make sure that the key is in the vehicle and parking brake is on for it to apply, which I did while sitting in the garage.
