I received a letter yesterday from BMW asking me to take my 07 X5 to a BMW Service center due to the Parking Brake Distance issue. The letter stated that a new software will address the issue. I called up BMW NA and they confirmed the parking brake software upgrade. I also called my Service Advisor who also told me about a tranny software upgrade recall on top of the Parking Brake Distance issue.

I asked my Servcice Advisor about the Naviugation pop-up arrow issue. He said that it is not a recall, BMW will fix it on a case to case basis if you experience such problem.


I already made an appointment with the Service Department for next week.
