I will check when I get a chance to see what version of software I am running.
If I need an update is that something that has to be done by the dealer?
Thanks

Due to cost, I would find a good independent BMW shop to perform the update. A well equipped one should have the tools and software necessary to perform the update.
Now if you're tech savvy, it is possible to perform the upgrade yourself. With a Windows based laptop, the proper USB-OBD2 cable, and the right software you can do it yourself. I won't go into all of that here...you'll need to do some searching on some other forums for that. If you go to E46fanatics.com, there is a DIY coding forum where you can learn all you want to know about updating the DME. I am pretty certain there is information available that will explain how to update the DME software on your own. I've personally re-flashed an MS43 DME that I purchased used off of ebay to replace one in an '01 330i.
