i was in the back and i saw that my version was 27 but not 27.1
the dealer doesn't have 27.1 yet.
i was told at my next visit if they do have it, it will be put on as they update every vehicle that comes in.

did ver 27 address most of the known bugs?? are you pretty much problem free?

let us know how it turns out....

I just got back the E70 from the dealer to fix the DVD problem.

Guess what. They upgraded me to 27.1 to fix the DVD issue. They didn't have to change the DVD drive. My daughter has been playing around with the DVD and so far it is problem free. We'll see what happens. Hopefully, this is the fix. I know there are others out there who are having intermittent problems with their RES. The only pain is I have to reprogram all my Idrive settings. Seems to have wiped out everything after the upgrade.

I thought I also had a problem with the steering wheel not returning to position but it looks like it is fixed now.

I also got the rear back up camera split screen with PDC. Pretty cool.

I was hoping the new software would also fix the problem on my Treo 750 not pairing with the BT car kit. Guess not. That's too much to ask from BMW

Great news.

BTW- I had a Treo 650 that paired fine...are you sure it wont pair?

awesome!

keep us posted on any new issues and/or fixed stemming from the update!!

I'm assuming all new vehicles will have this new version (and less problems going forward)

Yeah, still have my old Treo 650 also and it pairs fine without a problem. It's that stupid Windows Mobile 5 on the 750 that's causing the problem. I'm just waiting for the WM6 upgrade and it should fix it. For now, I'm using my daughter's pink Motorola Rzor when I'm driving the E70. It works great as long as nobody sees me with a pink phone.
