Date: 2018-08-27
mainVersion: 006
subVersion: 063
patchVersion: 041
Has anyone tried to install this? Not sure I want to be a guinea pig.

Edit: I further poked around in the previous version (UPD9032.bin), and found the corresponding items:
Comment: Software Update 05/2018
Date: 2018-01-26
mainVersion: 006
subVersion: 062
patchVersion: 032
How the heck do you get updates with ancient timestamps? Was the clock really that screwed up on their build system?

(Of course, this assumes I'm interpreting the internal metadata correctly. It's confusing, and appears to only apply to software versions that we're not using.)
I just tried installing this in my car and it complained that this update was not for my car. Kinda weird. I wonder if the base software for idrive is too low for this update to be installed. Did it work for you?
