BMW Take just 6% of the market in this with obvious rivals Tesla, the BMW i3 being the top model from BMW. The BMW iX3 biggest selling market is in China, this is also where it is being produced for the more global market. The iX3 will be the first of the model range to benefit from the 5 th generation of BMW Group electric drive trains. The intake manifold on BMW E90 and E60 cars with normally aspirated NG6 (new generation) N51 engines are equipped with a standard non-variable intake manifold. These engines have the same displacement as the N52 engines, but are designed with stricter emission standards in mind. Re: e60 - software upgrade Hi Everyone Just piggyback on this old thread as I can't post new thread yet. I toyed around with my recently bought 520i (200 8 ) E60 and found this software version on OBD (menu 01.06) The display shows: 01.06 SW 89.51.00 My guess is the car software version is 89.51.00 May I know if 1) This is the CIP version number? BMW DIY – Late Model Brake Pad and Rotor How To – E90 E92 E60 E65 E66 E89 Z4 Etc. Models covered by this DIY update: E90 E92 E93 = 3-series 06 thru 11 (335i.
These update files improve Bluetooth communication with the car's multimedia system for new mobile devices. They are easy to install and the whole process can be done in a matter of minutes. The BMW policy on this specific problem is strange. The publicly available updates are very old, and if you have issues with your new phone, the only option to have a newer software version for the multimedia device is to visit a BMW Dealer. They can access newer software versions and charge money in the process.
The latest update from BMW for the CIC system came on 01.10.2014 - code name UPD01008.
The latest update from BMW for the NBT system came on 25.08.2016 - code name UPD05074.
All you need is a FAT32 formated USB drive with enough free storage space (which won't be a problem, since the update is as small as 8.07 MB), a car that has a USB audio interface (included in optional equipment codes 6FL, 6NH, 6NK or 6NL) as well as the Control Display and iDrive.
First of all you'll have to download the new software from the BMW support site (Make sure to enter the correct VIN - last 7 figures - in the specified window on the BMW site, in order to get the proper software update for your vehicle) and copy it onto the USB drive (again, remember that it must be formatted as FAT32).
Note: If you have a retrofited CIC, use this VIN#: E797432.
After that, all you need to do is insert the USB drive in the USB audio interface and access the Software Update option in the Settings menu of the Control Display. The iDrive system will be automatically updated.Once the software has been updated, the system is restarted and data transferred from the USB device resynchronised where necessary. You'll just have to wait a few minutes until the USB device is operational again. Bmw E60 Software Upgrade Diy Video![]()
That's about it, and yes, it's as easy as that!
It seems that BMW has stopped this self-service and now you can get the newest Multimedia Software only by visiting the dealer.
There is no official explanation for this behaviour, but out of warranty, this software upgrade can be pretty expensive, so I suggest you doit only if you have big problems.Warning: Some cars may have newer software than the one listed on BMW's support website. Compare your existing software version with the one in the update PDF files (above), if you get this error when upgrading:
