I said the same to the service people but they didn't want to do the update unless I left the car with them so they could try to replicate the issue. They also said that if they can't replicate they won't update. I ended up just paying someone to do it for me online. I really like how the suspension is less harsh now in comfort.

Does everyone's engine start/stop default to being on, requiring you to press the start/stop button after turning on the car to turn off this feature?
Mine has never defaulted to being on upon start-up. I guess I'd have to press it after starting to turn the feature on (never have as I don't like it). I got it new, so wondering if the selling dealer did something to make it default to off or if it comes off by default on the M's. Asking because if the selling dealer did it, and I get the update, guessing I'd lose the greatness that is the start/stop defaulting to off. |

Hope not, was just a software update - nothing was modified. But who knows.. They wouldn't do it even with me paying for it

Anyone know from experience if this can potentially backfire? I assume if it is uploading oem firmware and nothing else is being updated , warranty won't be impacted ? I'm tempted to go this route just for the time savings and avoid the hassle of an all day dealership thing

This isn't an Idrive update. This is an Istep update.

Okay sure. I refer to it as a iDrive version. Checking Imprint on your idrive as stated in the previous posts and seeing your latest version. I can still answer the previous post that I had BM3 and requested dealer updates and BM3 still works.

How do you check on Imprint? A screen through iDrive? |

After spending 3 weeks 'negotiating' with my dealer, they finally agreed to upgrade my 2019 X3M with 2021-03 firmwares. Left the car at the shop overnight and pick-up the next day... and Wow. what a difference in suspension stiffness adjustment in Sport and Sport+. The roughness of the shock absorber is gone, a much more drivable machine now. I was waiting to try this and decide if a MSS upgrade was needed. I am happy to say I won't need to spend that extra money with this new M suspension software updates.

I just picked up my new '21 X3MC last week and noticed right away that my alignment was a bit off so I took it to the dealership and mentioned the alignment. I also noticed that the lane keep assist was very hit or miss and mentioned this to them as well. I told them that there is a software update that should fix this. They told me that the techs will decide that. They kept the car for almost 2 days and I'm extremely happy to report that they fixed the alignment and updated my iStep software to the 3/21 version! Car feel even more amazing now--not as "jumpy" as before!
