Do you folks get text messages or notifications when an update is ready to be installed? I don’t. When I go into MyBMW it says “The software of your BMW is up to date. The latest version 03/2025.47 is running on your BMW X3. We’ll notify you as soon as a software update becomes available.”

Well, geez, that’s not true, because that version is over a year old. Why isn’t it notifying me? Is there a setting somewhere I have accidentally turned off?

Good day bud! Same! Got my x3 jan 2025, software us 03.2025.47 too

Trust me went to dealer they wont update my car. Few glitches here and there

Mine is currently downloading just showed up.

Nice! Unfortunately i think somethings wrong with my headunit, it didnt update to 07.2025 even 11.2025. Hopefully on my next change oil change it gets sorted out by the dealer including my weird “tug” “clunk” on random speed bumps.

Just updated mine via RSU to G045-26-03-532 and the only difference I've noticed is that my AC settings for SYNC are FINALLY being remembered from drive cycle to drive cycle.

Bit weird, realised today to my "button" to look for software updates completely disappeared. Did a HU reset, and update popped up straight away.

I just installed the update 03-2026.32 (actually it is installing now). Where can I find a description of what the update brings?

Do you have a link to some info on the update you can share?

See attached. is this correct for the latest update?

I’m so confused. I can see the update in my car, but I can’t find it on my phone…

I updated mine today. Go to your MyBmw app and look in Status, there will be a Remote Software Update. Click on it and download it to your phone. Maybe 10 minutes, depends on your speed. Then you take your phone to the car and make sure there’s a Bluetooth connection activated. I followed the instructions and it set it up to 30%. The rest was done while driving so we drove to have dinner and it was at 70% transferred. It reached 100% driving back home. Once parked it finally finished updating, left the car alone for about an hour and the App notified me it was finished. I then did a 70 sec reboot. Maybe there’s a better or easier way but that worked for me. Hope it helps.

Downloaded and installed this afternoon. No problems noticed.

I've updated as well and the issue of missing turn by turn directions in the HUD when using CarPlay is still present. Anyone else have this issue?
Turn by turn shows up when using the native BMW Navi. Directions when using CarPlay (Google maps) no longer shows in the HUD - was working fine up until last week.
HUD layout is 'standard' but I've also tried other layout modes and still no luck. Might give Genius line a call to see whats what.

There is detail in the my bmw app on phone.

I updated yesterday. Unfortunately there still is no fix for the inconsistent functionality of scrollable Apple Music song choices in the right pod of the speedometer display while in CarPlay.

The app update did not complete until the next day and then I discovered the release notes.

Updated. Ivory still not working. How hard could this be?

You have updated to 07/2026.32?

Ivory was instantly working after I've updated to 03/2026.32. Also climate SYNC stays on now.

Have you checked if all the car Apps are updated as well and did you perform a 70 second reset?

Did you follow the 3 stage installation process? Or perhaps the installation step was delayed because you have a specific time set for vehicle to initiate herbal installation step.

Must be connected by both WiFi & Bluetooth Follow ID9 vehicle instructions carefully.

Step 1- DOWNLOAD update to phone through MyBMW App while connected to WiFi 

Step 2-“TRANSFERRING”/DOWNLOAD from MyBMW app to vehicle “DRIVING IS REQUIRED” PREPARATION- AFTER TRANSFER IS COMPLETE AUTOMATICALLY VEHICLE GOES INTO “PREPARATION” FOR A FEW MINUTES IT’S OK TO BE DRIVING. 

Step 3- “INSTALLATION” “VEHICLE MUST BE OFF & PARKED WITH ALL DOORS, WINDOWS & SUNROOF CLOSED. [ALSO, Starter Battery Must be Fully Charged] Takes about 20 minutes & can’t be driven until completed. Notice on phone will advise when completed

A quick anecdote based on my experience just now. I turned off auto updates after the 11/2025 update borked my ambient lights. The 3/2026 update wasn’t showing up in car or app, so after enough “seemed to go OK” reports online, I turned on auto updates in car and app - and the 3/26 update appeared right away. Installing now. Thought this may help someone in similar straits.

Update installed overnight. No idea what it contains. I'm tech deficient.

I have the same issue 😑

Could be an iPhone ios issue. Did you update to the latest ios version 26.4.1 just before this issue started?
Do both of you having this issue have the same iPhone model? Have you done a hard reboot on your iphone to see if that makes a difference?
