BMW updates the car software by sending Remote Software Updates (RSU) using the the Over The Air (OTA) method. The updates include Driver Assistance updates and fixes. My car amongst many other BMW owners worldwide are reporting on the internet that the RSU process is not working and that the updates download OTA to the car but they do not do the final installation step. FYI OTA is currently the only method BMW uses to send updates to the vehicles . BMW replies to queries about the failure by directing owners to their dealers. The dealers than update the latest RSU at their facility . Cars in warranty are not charged by the dealers , but cars out of warranty are quoted in excess of $400 to install the updates. FYI updates are sent several times per years so those which require dealer service to install are faced with excessive cost for the updates. I currently refused to pay the dealer to install the latest RSU and my car is now at risk of not receiving the latest safety updates. Below is a snapshot of my car screen showing the update in limbo and requiring a dealer fix to perform ‘step 3’ [XXX] Thank you , [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
