Software update

My non tech package 228 is showing
MX-003.004.0031
TX-003.004-031
As current software version installed

BMW update states if I install versions will be
Mx-3.5.4
Tx-3.5.6

But the documentation show as a 2012 copyright. So, should I update ? Has anyone done this update ?

Yes just download the updates to a USB stick and put it in the center console. Then start the update on the idrive or it starts itself I don't remember exactly

The benefit is that you get the lasted version with bug fixes

I looked this up and the latest ver is for 7/12-2/14. Mine was built in 7/14 so I need to look up the software version on the car to see if it is current.

Update is for vehicles built prior to February 2014.
There seems to be no updates for those build after Feb 2014.

Well my 228 was built march 24 2014 and software update was available. Just installed it, super easy. Haven't seen any differences as of yet. Maybe update was avaliable for my car due to being a non tech car
