How do I schedule an appointment for the software upgrade to my brain so I rev match perfectly on downshifts in my 6mt?
Hopefully the patch includes the auto stop when backing up just before making contact with anything and the 360 degree anti blind spot capability. ahh the possibilities..... auto calculations for determining exactly when you should accelerate or stop on yellow lights, anti curb rash, advanced rock chip to windshield warnings.... |

I'm at the dealership right now getting my 1200 mile service done, and there are no recalls for my 2011 DCT M3. Maybe BMW wants to get all cars in to receive this software update.

When's your manufacturing date? I noticed the DCT upgrade only covered cars up to Aug 2010, the assumption is if your car was born after this date you have the updated software.

Likely this is a "service action", not a "recall". Let us know - I have an '08, but not DCT.

I just got an automated call too, from God. He said my third pedal was still working just fine, and congrats!

so i decided to call for clarification. this was how it went...
me: hi, i received a call from you and set an appt for nov 1st. can you tell me if it's safe for me drive with this recall? i have a long trip this weekend. dealer (appt scheduling gal): yes, it's safe. me: ok. that's good to know. what is this recall exactly. dealer: let me look (took about 5mins for her to boot and log on her system). it's a programming recall. me: i see. can you be more specific? dealer: let me look. it's a program update to prevent your system being frozen. me: oh. are you sure it's safe to drive? i dont want my car to stall or shut down while driving on the highway. dealer: yes, it is safe. me: thanks. see you on nov. 1st. ----------------------------------------- with that, i still hope it's safe drive. i have 2hr+ each way trip this weekend. i hope i dont stall/stop while doing 65mph+.

If anyone has had this done already please post the duration of the service call.
I hate these software updates as the damn computers seem to crash so frequently and need to restart the update, or at least that's what they claim. I can buy a new Mac and move the 500mb of files from the legacy machine in a couple of hours max. This may require days to complete. Doesn't this seem crazy? |

Got my 1200 mile service. No bulletins, no recalls, no nothing.
