2. The cooling system was pressure tested and no leaks found. I can still smell coolant. I will keep an eye on the coolant level. 3. Software updated to S15A-20-11-542. Dealer has to get approval from BMW. It’s nice to have google maps in the HUD. 4. Trunk valet switch installed. 5. No problem found in collision avoidance system. Maybe software update will address. |

The dealer had to order parts for this job. Everything seems fine, checked for mechanic damage, so far so good. I think this is worth installing. Here is a couple of photos.

Great. Thanks for sharing! Makes me feel more comfortable getting that switch added.
Notice anything new in the November update? |

To be honest, I haven’t had a chance to pursue through the changes yet. One thing I did notice on my way home was that Google maps display in the HUD.

I don't know what it adds though as I haven't yet received this update. Since the dealer is cagey on updates I am waiting on the next bigger update before getting updated. |

One other feature I think it has is Alexa integration, but I haven’t tried that feature yet.

Anything show up on how it works or a picture of it? Might be helpful for the Alexa users amongst us. I wonder if it allows Alexa to replace or work alongside the BMW Personal Assistant. Not useful for me, but may be very useful for many. |
