Does BMW produce anywhere a list of fixes and/or enhancements contained in these updates? In such a digital car, it would be nice to know the complete list of things the update fixes. For example, in US-spec E90s, one of the big differences between a 325i and a 330i is the engine management software.

I would be interested to know if an update to add MP3 capability to iDrive E90s might also change the parameters of the engine management software.

What exactly is comfort access? Is this something ill be able to obtain later? Or do you have to purchase this from the start??

I already bought a 2006 BMW 330I w/o Nav. Do you think i could buy/upgrade the comfort access option for our car now? Is it a software update thing? This is the first time i heard of Confort Access. Please fill me in with any information you had about this option. I hope this option could be added to our new car. Thanks!

See this thread for info on what Comfort Access is. It's not retroffitable.

If I take delivery on Oct 7 in Munich, does this mean my car will have the update that is supplied on Sept 5?

Should, seeing as the german factories are closed in August ( SA factory keeps working) your car would be made in September, thus have the update

Will the 6-disk changers have MP3 capability now with the software upgrade???

vivekk · 07-30-2005, 04:28 PM

Will the upgrade provide WMA compatiblity also?

My e90 was finally ordered today and I received a production number. Mystic Blue and Comfort Access are both definately orderable now. I can't wait to see this thing. Hopefully, the 18 months of waiting for this car will have been worth it!

Interesting how this coincides with the price increase, and that the brochure is about product planning and strategy...

davinet78 · 08-02-2005, 06:47 AM

with bmw introducing more new colours each time it makes it more difficult for us to decide on what colour to buy the car and hope that we havent made the wrong decision, my car is coming in artic and i hope i have made the right decision.
