BMW Software update

BeemerMon · 02-16-2020, 11:20 PM

Apologies if this has been asked and answered before (but I did search).

I would like to update the software in my 2012 e92 M3 because I am having issues with my Bluetooth Audio. I am trying to use the BMW Software update site: https://www.bmw.com/en/footer/software-updates.html but when I put in my VIN, I get the error "An error has occurred. Please try again later."

Has anyone had this before ? Is this website only for the "F" series cars ? Note I have a Canadian car, not sure if there is another website for that.

The only thing that came up for my VIN was - https://static.bmw.com/content/dam/b...n/UPD01008.bin

You'll need to bring in the car to the dealership or find an indy shop to help you do a full update on the CIC unit. Takes a few hours even with original BMW equipment/tools.

I just did both my M3 and X5 this way last month. Now I have perfect bluetooth streaming and phone calls.

Try using a different browser.

Only took 3 minutes to update.

1008 is the newest usb update download for CIC I believe.

BeemerMon · 02-18-2020, 11:07 PM

Thanks all. I was able to download the 1008 bin file. I just needed to bypass the Company's URL filter which must have been blocking the download.

What is the benefit of this firmware update for an e92 M3?

kyippee · 08-10-2020, 04:56 AM

I haven't noticed any benefits.

I tried many times to update to 1008, but no luck. Car just won't accept it. However, I did manage to get 1006 to load.

Bluetooth audio still has 2-3 seconds of lag.

Still new to the e92 community. Will the software update work on a 2008 E92 M3
