if you can source the part number 01 59 0 141 891 from a dealer (about $10), then you will get the lates sw version 32 for the MK4 on the original disk.
otherwise, you need to find a place that hosts the image and burn it on a slow speed to a CD. the regualr instructions tell you to turn the key to ON and not run the engine - I actually ran engine, just to make sure that the battery does not die on me... it did not affect the updating procedure

Thanks TerminatorX5, I just walked back in from updating my Software, it now reads 4-1/00, and I actually didn't use a CD(I believe that's where the confusion is coming from
), I used a Memorex DVD-R and wrote it at 1x-2x speed(my computer had to do something because it was only formatted to write at the lowest speed of 4x or 8x) and after it finished burning the software I promptly took it to Beast(My X5s name
) and the software loaded and updated within less than 1min(like seriously it took less than a minute)...ANNNND I actually read YOUR process of what you did by running the engine instead of "ON" three days ago before actually posting my original message, so kudos to you...plus it's cold/windy out here and I'm in love with my heated seats(LOL). But nonetheless it's updated, now I just need to find the thread to change to "perspective view" and read up on the custom splash screens. Also I would like to thank Bob for his help as well... oh and btw I actually called the BMW dealership across the highway(seriously, its across the highway, I can look out of any of my windows in my place and see the dealership,GlobalImports BMW) and inquired about the software update and the guy in parts had NO CLUE what I was referring to, so I was going to go and pay the $10 but I didn't feel like going through the hassle.
