Upgrading to 8.5

330 CSi · 10-13-2023, 07:37 AM

For those of you who were upgraded from 8 to 8.5: What happened to your settings? Did you have to start from scratch or did everything carry over?

330 CSi IIRC, didn't your dealership install 8.5 for you before you picked up your car? Or do you have to do it again? If so, maybe you can test out the 8.0 -> 8.5 upgrade and let us know how it goes?!

As I'm sure you know, most of the settings are stored in the cloud along with your BMW ID. So I can't imagine there's any risk of losing settings.

I had 8.0 and it was upgraded to 8.5 at my recent service. At least for me all of my settings stayed in place.
