Software update!
I took my car in for a windshield replacement and for a parking sensor replacement. Obliterated my windshield 18 hours after delivery and got a rock chip in a parking sensor on the way home from a long road trip.
My car had a hard time relearning the parking sensor with the KAFAS and a forced software update was performed with the assistance of BMW tech line. The great news for some is that it changed the font of the instrument cluster and added the M240i logo in the middle. Now I can finally enjoy my car without a cracked windshield. Cheers! |

To confirm, this was an OTA software update?

Well well well. Would you look at that. Is this intended to be a software update for the masses? I'm assuming eventually OTA update? |

Great. Now I'll be constantly reminded I couldn't afford an M2.

This was NOT an OTA update. My car was at the dealer for the two repairs mentioned above. My car would not allow the new parking sensor to program it, so BMW had to have the tech line force an update to the car.
I’m unsure if this update is available OTA. |

So if we wanted that software update could we go into BMW and ask for it...?

Does this always show up for you now while driving? I personally don't like this, I know what car I'm driving so I really hope I can turn this off, it's just not needed to me.
and to anyone saying deal with it, I've had my '22 m240 for 6 months as of tomorrow. I have been plenty fine without it and have no interest in them adding it at least on my car. |

I prefer to have it. Constantly reminds you how much you spent on an m performance car vs a regular series car.

Seconded. Would love to have it as my friends 440 has it, which makes me feel like 240 is some how not the same league as 440 lol

They should be able to order it if they’re persistent enough. |

Is there a way to show in the infotainment screen which version of the software each car has?
I'm just wondering if the one that the OP got is a not-yet released one... We could know it with the numbering version... |
