Upgraded to software Ver 20.?

I just had the software upgraded, does anyone know it there have been added features? I can't seem to see any.
It is suppose to fix the morning vibration when the car is first turned on. Also it is suppose to fix the entertainment system returning to whatever it wants when the car is turned on and fix the transmisssion jerkiness.
I will know tomorrow if the engine wobbles when first turned on , re the transmission, it is worse, the car however is quicker for some reason and a lot more agressive, I think that I will leave it alone though, Idon't care it is not that bad of a problem and it is not worth leaving the car over for 2 days

there are a LOT of new features. some of them has to do with Nav, which i descrbied in this post: http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=131874

other are mentioned here: http://bimmer.roadfly.com/bmw/forums/e65/7458011-1.html

i guess you are not much into your car if you cant even notice these major changes, huh? oh, wait, but you paid 90,000 IN CASH for it, so it must have came with a midget who would explain to you all these changes instead of you learning about them on your own.

As usual, you always have to inject your poison Mr. yan_745.
All of the features you mentioned I already had, my car had Version 19.1 and I do not see any difference. look at my post, I was the first one to report the differences on October 8 2005

You are assuming that I don't know how to use my i-drive and you have no idea who I am or what I know, just because I refuse to fix my window does not mean that I cant, I choose to pay for it. I am an Engineer and I could teach you a few things too about this car.
If BMW makes changes to the car's computer they should give the owner an addendum to the owner's manual, one should not guess what the differences are. At the very least the service advisor should print something out to attach to the car's work order for the customer to read.
I got great service this time and had no problems getting an appointment they gave me a decent rental car and the car was done earlier than expected. The job was done with no glitches, they fixed my rattle and I love the car now it is flawless.
I have a suggestion yan_745Li, stay informative you have some great posts, be friendly without any inflammatory comments and this place will be much nicer. When you add your unnecessary comments it diminishes your informative comments and portrays you as an arrogant rude individual who thinks he knows everyhing.
I am suggesting a truce what do you say?
