Software updates
chaps,
For those of you that previously own or still own a E9* M3, you'll remember there were many software updates over the cars life. Some of these made marked differences in particular to the DCT. The last one; 240e iirc even improved the mileage range - on mine at least The f10 has been out for a few years but I cant find many threads on software? Have there been many? Is it simply beacuse the car is so awesome out of the box! Interested to know as the car is going in for some minor work and will ask the dealer |

The latest software update for the F10 M5 is F010-14-3-503, released in March 2014. Here are some of the changes.....
The only mechanical difference I've noticed so far is the trunk opening/closing quicker. |

Do these updates re-code the car to stock?

I have 11/13 built 2014 M5. Is anything different from what I have?
I watched video but I don't see anything new function... (trunk open/close faster may not be enough reason to pull the trigger)

I quick way to check if you have the latest software is the options overlay. If you have a + sign its the older version, if you have this funky looking icon, its the newer version.
Here's a closer look.... Also the media and phone software was updated. As of 21 May 2014, it is not available for download. |

are you sure that all updates will wipe out coding? It seems that these are just media updates and not car programming updates that involve ECU.
FYI bmw.com needs the VIN to download the latest updates. very easy to do with a USB drive.

Mine updated because of replacing screen that was defective and flickering and I am impressed with the way Hendrick BMW handled this issue!! Last edited by soooma; 05-23-2014 at 09:42 PM.. |
