Software updates
I've got an 06 320D and given the age of the car and complexity of the electronics etc I was wondering if anybody had any experience of getting the software updates.
Does it cost much? Noticed any improvement afterwards? Is there a way of comparing the version on your car with whatever's current? |

One improvement is the system remembers the screen you were last using, so when you start up it pops back up directly. The old one always started at the main menu page. I also noticed that my Brakes were not so snatchy - I'm guessing a re-programming of the soft-stop braking (binding on less than before). Especially noticeable when backing up slowly while braking lightly. Now MUCH better. The trip computer seems to have altered the way it calculates. I'm guessing it now works out something if you are just sitting idling - before it didn't seem to add that to the calculations. D.

When I got mine, the dealer got the Bluetooth software upgraded. When I test drove the car, my iPhone wouldn't work with it, after collecting car it did.
 He told me it should have cost £150  |
