My remote start does not work with the key fob or the app. Outside of that, I can’t tell much of a difference.

I'm back from a trip to the grocery store and can safely say I had no changes to any exhaust notes. It did wipe out my Bimmercode quality-of-life changes, which meant ASD was back on, along with that dumb startup nag and chime. First time I've worn a seatbelt in a year, too... to get it to shut up. Those will be re-disabled shortly.

Oh, I had to set my M-buttons back up, too.

I just got the update too finally

Have either of you two tried to remotely start your cars?

I actually think my exhaust burble is more like it was before the update last March or April. That’s one good thing.

I now have to wait until the car cools off. So I go replace the battery in my beater and come back and start the upgrade. Will edit once finished with anything to note.

always lots of perimeters needs to be met before it will install, i still don't get why the car needs to be cooled down. those wacky ass Germans

[pmsteinm]

It waits for cool down because during the update it would stop the after run on the coolant pump and fans.

I think it also needs a certain level of battery charge which of course isn't always 100% because of the overly complex charging only under coasting.

Glad to see it is working for people. My wife's X5 only got one or two then got the the broken update that wouldn't install OTA. That one breaks the auto start stop disable in bimmercode so I'll never get that update.

I'll probably take the update on my M5 later this week.

Remote start didn’t work for me after the update. Followed these instructions and it’s working again: https://www.bmwofbridgewater.com/blog/2022/february/3/bmw-remote-start-stopped-working.htm

Thanks. I forgot that remote start was an option in the climate control section. I switched it back on and it works now.

[NoMods]

So my app doesn’t work to lock/unlock it after the update. Had to re-enable remote start again and all was good as all updates always turns it off. So stupid.

[pmsteinm]

I went ahead with the update. Took about 25 minutes. The car makes all kinds of noises as various pumps and fans seem to cycle. My M settings were retained and as it says in the update notes I had to re-enable remote start under the climate menu. Haven't started the car yet but at least it didn't brick.

The rumors of exhaust sounds ruined by updates are as tenacious as the rumors of a power increase after the break in service. This has been around since at least the 2019MY with every software update. Similarly with some claiming the sound was totally ruined, others noting no difference, and a few saying it was better. It's like a recurring collective illusion on the forum. Let's just say..... doubt.

This!

I noticed the air conditioner seemed to suck today. That was because the update reset the settings for the vent temperature in iDrive.

It also reset the adaptive cruise control settings. But otherwise the car is the same, including pops and bangs.

[irablumberg]

Could be a coincidence, but mine lost memory of my seat positions. Had to reprogram both buttons.

[pmsteinm]

Mine didn't until I had to sign out and in of connected drive to get the sending destination to the car feature to work again.

[Nighttime22]

Completed the update this weekend. No issues to note. Remote start works, memory functions are all there. Nothing out of the ordinary. Car sounds the same to me.

[Nuvolari 12]

same here.. I updated mine last weekend, and have not noticed much of a difference.

[FC]

No issues with mine either.
