When necessary, BMW AG sends the information you supply to BMW sales organizations in your home country. The personal information you supplied is exclusively processed by Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft (Petuelring 130, 80809 Munchen, “BMW AG”) in order to respond to your request and carry out a specified service. BMW Software Update: Please download the update and use a USB stick to transfer it to your BMW.

Your BMW almost never requires a software update if there is no specific problem that has to be fixed or no clear aim in mind.

It might also be the answer if you experience problems with third-party hardware that isn’t made to operate with earlier iDrive software versions. For instance, updating your software can be the solution if you wish to use a particular function but it isn’t supported by the current software version of your car (for instance, full-screen mode for Apple CarPlay). IDrive software updates are only necessary in a few few circumstances.
