Interesting, have you personally done it?
A lot of ppl said it locks the ecu and it can't be tuned again, just like if you buy a new model with that software. Mine is 2020 and I got it before they locked the ecus in june 21. I also did nearly everything possible with e-sys. |

As for e-sys, there are many options, I think I coded like 10 or 15 things that bimmercode cannot do. the only thing you cant code with e-sys is the ambient lighting which bimmercode can do. But all that would be wiped, including the tune, after an update |

It should display something like that (probably not that version; 03/22) For the Istep its a bit more laborious; from Dav3 https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1638904 Last edited by JJ 911SC; 04-18-2022 at 06:38 PM.. |

Ok, so I’m a little confused as to how to check if I have the update and if it’s worthwhile to try and flash bootmod3 on my X3M.
I have a 2020 with a build date in 2019, however it does appear to have full screen Apple CarPlay? (I just bought this used from a dealer). Is there any way to check if my 2020 is still flashable to unlock the dme with Bootmod3? Thanks |

I had the istep upgrade - a couple of comments.
1. Makes zero difference to the suspension 2. Does not lock ECU 3. BM3 still works on 2020 cars

So...a year later (and 20 pages of replies)...I finally got the update. I asked for it last year, stating the Apple Car Play issues, but they said there were no software updates and recommended I speak to a BMW Genius. I initially tell them I'm there for an oil and brake fluid change this year. As the service advisor was walking away, I pulled one of the, "oh by the way" I heard there were some software updates.
As he walks back with my key, he said yep, you're due for an oil change, brake fluid, and there's a recall for some software updates. I check the BMW recall site for my VIN and there wasn't anything listed there. Later on, I get a text saying my vehicle is done and I asked him what software updates were made. He said he didn't know, just something the "ISPA" platform saw and updates. 1. My IMPRINT is still old (I will come back and update with photos later). 2. My i-step was (per dealer printout...I forgot to check myself again before dropping it off) S15A-19-11-534 and is now version S15A-22-03-552. What does this mean? I haven't the slightest clue, yet. The only thing I hope for this update is better connectivity for my Apple CarPlay. It sometimes lags (a lot) when I first hop in the car. 3. Navigation version was Road Map NORTH AMERICA EVO 2019-1 (I'll update later to see what version it is now).

Yesterday I went from the 03/20 version to the 11/21. I don’t know why they didn’t give me the 03/22 update. Does anyone have any info regarding what the 03/22 update includes over the 11/21 update?
Overall it seems very worth it and was an easy process at my dealership. CarPlay issues was the reason cited and there were very few questions asked. |

Anyone with a 2020 model no matter what version of iStep you get you will still be able to tune. Yes you may need a Bench Unlock (done same day) if they update the bootloader as well.

I was told by Bimmer Tech that they could do this update for me for $400 plus the price of the cable.
Is there any harm in my going this route? I'm currently at version S15A-19-11-550 on a 2020 x3 with a build date of May 2020. |

Thank you...
Hi,
I am a new owner of a 2019 X3 M Sport, and I want to thank everyone that has contributed in this thread. Because it has helped me figure out why android auto isn't already available on the car when apple carplay is, and idrive 7 and cockpit live is installed. I tried to download updates from BMW's software update page, but got the message that there weren't any updates available. I then phoned ConnectedDrive and I was told that the car was up to date and because it was a S15A build (S15A-19-07-563 to be exact) that remote software and android auto couldn't be installed. I then found this post, which helped me find what the actual software version displayed in the car using the Imprint screen - 07/19. The same version that the car was built with (car built 11/19)...! I then phoned ConnectedDrive again and explained what I had found and agreed, they didn't understand why I was told the car was up to date. They said the latest version for the car is 03/23 and I should arrange for a dealer to update. When I phoned the dealer (UK), they initially tried to say it wasn't something they dealt with and I should contact ConnectedDrive. I booked appointments with 2 of the dealers closest to me to get the earliest possible date and found that they charge different prices - £180 / £195 I'm now booked in for May 18th and will let you know if android auto or anything else gets installed / enabled. |

BimmerTech quoted me $898 to update my 2019 x3 - currently at version S15A-19-07-563, and I'm now going to get it updated at the dealer for less than $250 |

UPDATE: Took car to dealers 2 days ago to update the software. The software is now 03/23 and both Apple Carplay (didn't before) and Android Auto now appear on the apps menu - I just started the car and they were there. |
