I just do not want the updates to introduce "bugs" in my X5 right now.

You're smarter than me. I should have told them hands off. Alas, one of the issues was a recurring engine light; there isn't much I could have done to prevent work on that one.

It amazes me when I see people claim that others shouldn't be concerned about these things. They absolutely should be concerned/annoyed. If everyone just walked around with apathy, there would be no incentive for automotive manufacturers to improve their quality.

Agreed. Not being a *ick here but there comes a point where you start to get frustrated. Again, with all of us being in love with our vehicles its hard to see shop people play guessing games and be given loaners we would rather not have.
