Yup, mistook everything being "active" for not having to give BMW $99. But the wife is happy to have her modes back.

Following are new errors,
Quick question : Are these fault codes appearing in the MyBMW app only or do they appear in the car itself ?

I'm not sure if eSim works with all service providers or if you need a specific provider
Hey. I had the provider already activated (I am in NL, the provider name was Ubigi - never heard of before, but its a EU roaming contract for 10 Euros / month and plenty of GB). However, on my G45 with the latest S/W version the eSim is not activated yet (still says incompatible in my BMW App).

Which S/W version to you have on your G45, OS 9?

03/2025 is mandatory for eSim to work.

eSim is now also shown in the mobile device menu in the car with 03/2025 installed.

Update 03/2025.45 was released today by RSU in Germany

Installed without problems.

Updated some Apps (Drive Recorder and Weather) and did a reboot.

All fine, no noticable difference.

.47 was withdrawn a week ago but I was notified of .45 today here in Germany.

I don't know why .47 was withdrawn here.

I received the 47 update a few days ago. What I’ve noticed is that the promised Efficient mode cannot be set as default on my car, and the Auto Hold feature is forgotten after every start.

Efficient mode as start mode only works in fully electric cars

Auto Hold should work as usual if you reset the car to factory defaults after the update and setup from scratch. Havn't tried it as I don't use it as was to lazy to set everything up again.
