It’s your choice to install it or not

It’s not automatic

Good. I think they already installed this on at the service center, but I'm not keen on this in the future...

Just don’t install it.
It will prompt you for your authorization.

My service manager told me to call BMW Roadside Assistance, they will perform the update

Just hang up with them. They unlock the vehicle, I can now turn it on, but not drive it. Only to facilitate the towing.

Will provide an update later.

At least I tried installing it in USA, and not in Mexico.

I need your friend ready to talk to BMW in case they want to void the warranty because of the coding and mods.

Just say the word…

davfer86 · 03-31-2023, 03:40 PM

Now I am at the dealership, waiting for my vehicle to be serviced.

Sorry to hear man. Hope it gets fixed.

Picked mine up today and took straight to Esoteric for a bunch of fun goodies.

Is on the bay getting the update.
I was scheduled for Tuesday for the second oil change, but I don’t know if they will do it today.

Dealer closes at 6PM. I told my advisor that I am just worried to get my vehicle back to drive back home in Mexico, and that I can bring my vehicle for oil service as scheduled for Tuesday.

davfer86 · 03-31-2023, 07:21 PM

Update was installed.

And I am back home in Mexico

This is my dog Nico, he is Rottweiler’s friend

Short teaser from my Bowers & Wilkins retrofit coming from HiFi 😉

Will write a detailed thread in the next days…

lefizzet · 04-01-2023, 01:05 PM

After 20k miles, finally swapped to Michelin pilot sport all season 4s...like an entirely different car. Alenzas are straight garbage.

For sure! I’m running a bit higher psi as I noticed a bit of a squishy feeling. Since doing that handling has bee rock solid.

Bataleon · 04-01-2023, 10:36 PM

Picked up my '23 X3 M40i a few days ago. First thing was first...gloss black badges. Odd the shadow line package just doesn't include em. Looks WAY better imo.

300 miles in and all I can say is.. wow. Huge difference between this and my 2020 X3 M40i.

I run 38 front and 40 rear.

Thanks Rottweiler for the badges....

Lady Jane · 04-03-2023, 11:32 AM

Took the X3 for its annual [free] service this morning. Had the Summer wheels and big boots installed. While I was waiting, they gave me the keys of a brand new Mini electric to play with. Quick little zipper, very torquey but unusual behavior (Compared to an ICE car) when you remove your foot off the accelerator. Just like a golf cart, it stops instead of rolling.

Anyway, not for me. Beside, it's very small, I bumped my head on the door sill, had to drop down to the seat and had problem getting out... Name: R.gif
