Love to know why u don't have DRL's on your 330i?
They have been available from dealer since day one!
Picked my car up on 6/29 and have DRL's.
Maybe your dealer just don't know how to turn them on?

RyBMW · 10-25-2005, 11:38 PM

If I have iDrive, shouldn't I be able to turn the DRL on or off?
Do you have iDrive?

Which dealer did you go to?

If u bought your car before September?
You can not turn on/off DRL's via iDrive.
DRL's has to be turned on by your dealer.

My dealer is "Holtz BMW" Rochester, NY

Cars built after Sept. 12th can turn on/off via iDrive.

Any luck us poor slobs that bought early will be thought of 1 day

Thanks.

I guess my dealer never turned it on for me.

Where is the software update for the idrive owners, to allow MP3s, turn on/off DRL, etc, BMW? :mad:

Finally got my car back~!! I dont see any fuking changes at my car.. I'm F-ing pissed at Pacific BMW for what they're doing... First of all I didn't get Auto Lock... I didn't get my seat belt clicking noise fixed~! I also had rattling noises from my steering wheel and they didnt fix shiet... and Worst of all... They scratched my rear bumper... An inch scratch... a lil piece is peeling out of the bumper with the paint! What should I say when U.S BMW Service calls me? 1? -1?

Dude, I would be cool with them until after they fix all your sheit. That is unbelievable. Their internet parts department, however, runs very smoothly. Sorry for the misfortune.

Again just for clarification.... did you receive CIP 19.1 or 19.2 or any variant of that? Thanks.

I was told that it was 19.0 it was the latest one that they had.
I asked about 19.2, and they had no clue about it.

That sucks, on my way back down there in about an hour.
I was told my car was not pulling to the right so that was not fixed.
Also my seatbelts in the back were fixed, that why I was told my car sat there about a week waiting for a part that was so new to fix the seatbelt it had to be special ordered.

petition letter to BMW???

billgti · 11-22-2005, 03:27 PM

i am getting my car back from pacific bmw tonight and they told me that the update went successfully. i don't know which version i am getting but i hope they don't put auto locks or DRLs on my car because i don't want those.

i originally brought in the car for B-pillar/seatlbelt rattling and a cracking sound from the rear parcel shelf. they did order parts for me for the seatbelt / b-pillar but totally ignored the rear parcel shelf saying that they could not duplicate the problem. the damn thing cracks every time i drive the car and i even showed the service advisor when i brought it in, but now he tells me that "it was so minor, it was only once..we couldn't find anything". :mad: not please with the service at all

Got the new update.
Don't know what's so special about it.

Still waiting on the seat belt thing.

Question? Did you ask for the car to be programend for the features that you mentioned or did you just request software updates? If you asked for these features, you have a legitimate complaint and I would expect that the dealer would make room in the shop schedule at your covenience.

Jongi · 11-25-2005, 08:08 AM

How does one find out the software the car has?

Any SA guys who have had a software update?

AW330i · 11-25-2005, 09:27 AM

you know what is really interesting about the software update to me? You cant install any of there accesories without it... I had been planning to get the update but having my alarm programed was higher on my list. When i got there it took them 2 1/2 days to finish the update, program my alarm which i had allready installed, and install and program on my 6-disc cd changer... It was quite a wait but when i got back in my car it was just amazing to drive... You almost get to used to driving the e90 after a while. Its like you love your car and you know you love your car but when you go without it for a few days and get back in it you really know just how much you love your car.
