swissguy and Ken750iX7, what version of iDrive do you have installed? And what version of iOS are you using?

55 version fixed it for me. 53 didn't do anything in my case.

.55 has been out longer than a week. I'd ask them why they didn't go to .55. I had mine updated last week to .55 as well.

I also had .55 installed 10 days ago. Seems odd your shop wouldn't have the latest version.

Are you using Waze to determine your actual speed? If not, how are you determining that your speed is off by 5 mph?

I am using Waze and also a third party speedo app. They both agree that the car speedo is off by 5 mph

Sorry to hear you're still having an issue with the speedometer. I noticed the same issue at times while using Waze but it didn't happen all the time even in the same day. Since the update to iDrive it's been spot on for me.

Mine has been accurate after the update as well. Now I have to remember to slow down. I've been driving 5-6mph faster out of habit

LOL - I'm sure you're not the only owner who needs to slow down after the update.

I have Garmin GPS/DashCam and Escort Max 360c, both read on average of 3-5 mph less than X7.

I have iDrive version 07/2019.53 which was installed 2 weeks ago. I understand the most up to date version id 07/2019.55 so I am curious as to why I did not receive that update. Also when I looked on the update screen you could click on "check for updates" Does this actually work or is it a tease? Also does anyone know what the difference is between 07/2019.53 and 07/2019.55?

Another question. Does the map program automatically update or do you have to purchase and install an update? I noticed that there are a lot of streets that are not on the map. Disappointing since my 2018 Honda Odyssey's map program does show these streets!!

It’s been this way with BMW for 30 years and it’s not going to change. Learn to add 5. Or let yourself drive slower as intended.

That’s awesome. About time.

Regarding CarPlay connectivity....iOS 13 has finally solved my frustrating intermittent connection problems and while I want to update iDrive from my version that’s 6 months old I’m concerned that it will break whatever iOS 13 just fixed. Thoughts?

I hear you but I am still not convinced the connectivity issues had much or anything to do with iDrive. For me upgrading to iOS 13 solved my connection issues. And as I posted above, I did have the shop install the latest update to iDrive and it solved a few issues I was still having unrelated to CarPlay so I would suggest you consider having your shop do the same.

Same here so both features may be linked to hardware changes made to newer builds of the X7.

BTW, I test drove a 2020 X7 M50i yesterday that was just delivered to the dealership and the software version is 07/2019.59
