I must say it blows me away that the car's behavior can be changed through programming updates. I really love that...it's like the E90 is a digital device with wheels instead of a car with a computer.

But...as with any software update there's stuff I love and stuff I hate.

Here's my list...I invite others to add theirs.

Pros:
  • Nag screen goes away by itself (hurray!)
  • Re-starting the car with a destination active simply restarts assistance
  • Voice recognition now understands a native English speaker

Cons:
  • That new font...where'd they get THAT from? Wal-Mart?
  • Navigation always starts with voice prompts on
  • No parked-car ventilation in early build E90s
  • No DRL option in iDrive for early build E90s
  • That font! Where'd they get that from? Target?
LOL.... sounding more & more like Microsoft service packs
- sometimes they screw up more than they fix
