So I guess this will be available to all E90 owners with Navi as a SW update from your dealers. Anyone concur?

Yeah, this is what logic says; mp3 is decoded using software. But how knows if they now use a new unit and the software is only for that.
Just saying that there is no real way to know until it is confirmed by BMW.

With this update, can you play MP3 CDs through the dashboard? Or do I need to buy the 6 cd changer with the Idrive/NAV for mp3 function?

The document talks about the normal stereo; no accessory needed (CD Changer).

I'm really quite confident this will happen. It only makes sense and I don't know of any case where these documents lied and the dealers didn't end up receiving the updates. Relax

I asked because maybe the update meant that for the 6 cd changer that wasnt working because bmw stated you need the cd changer to play mp3s with idrive/nav

I asked a service manager about this update and whether or not they'd let me know when the update was available. He said they don't bother telling people about these updates and they don't necessarily do them when the car is in for maintenance. |

You are absolutely right though. When I test drove the car, I knew more about the car then the dealer (thanks to e90post.com!). I just hope I can resolve the mp3 issue because I have nothing else to worry about I am probably picking it up the car this tuesday or wednesday!

ur right OZ
ur right OZ , members of E90 post know more than the dealers themselves, so i wont be expecting the dealer to know about this update, after i got the car, they dont seem to be helpful anymore

I picked up the car last night and my dealer did not know about the september BMW bulletin. I'm going to print it and get him a copy next time I see him
I got the car last night!
