Standard BMW Gearbox Software Updates
BMW periodically releases software updates to address previous bugs and enhance functionality. If you’re looking to improve your vehicle’s performance, a gearbox TCU software update might be the solution you need.
Why Are BMW Software Updates Important?
Over time, as vehicles remain in use on the open market, BMW monitors and reviews their software performance. Updates are issued to correct software scripting errors, and revised software enables control units to adapt to component wear or address common faults. As these vehicles age, software issues often become evident and are addressed through ‘flash’ updates. A flash software update rewrites a control unit’s operating data (OS), similar to updates released by mobile phone or tablet manufacturers. However, the process for updating vehicle software differs significantly.
How Are BMW Gearbox Software Updates Performed?
These updates cannot be performed by the end user. Updating your vehicle’s software requires a stable power supply and a specialised BMW tool. Ensuring this process is done correctly is essential to maintaining your vehicle’s optimal performance.
Benefits of Gearbox Software Updates
A gearbox software update is available at a cost of £99.00 inc VAT. This service updates the gearbox firmware to the latest version provided by BMW. For vehicles manufactured before 2017, we particularly recommend this update as it addresses some of the common issues these gearboxes have developed over the years.
By staying up to date with the latest BMW software updates, you can:
- Improve gearbox performance and reliability.
- Address known software issues and faults.
- Enhance the driving experience.
