Indeed that is the PSdZData version, but what does your cockpit show under the OTA Updates menu? Also, curious how long did the update take?

My Car has ecu tune so OTA update is locked to avoid ecu overwriting.
Did updates with a laptop .
My previous software release was mid 2020.
I updated all modules except ecu motor and idrive android.
For idrive estimated time was 8 hrs,so I skipped and wll be done soon.
Other modules tooks 1 hrs in total.
When performing updates is mandatory battery tender 13V to avoid any battery drops!!

Of course it makes sense NOT to update the ECU in that case else the flashtune will be erased. IDrive/HU usually takes the longest but 8 hours is a lot. Indeed voltage there is super important. I have a charger with a power supply unit and works great maintaining the recommended minimum voltage at a stable 13V. However if the flashing session is going to be longer than 10 minutes, it is advised to set it higher (13.5 V) during programming as this is safer considering the battery may not be fully charged

Hi,

Could I ask how you updated the car via your laptop? I'm locked out of OTA's too (but not by choice).

Thanks.

GPower tuner locked the OTA in order to save the ecu map.
Why yours is not enable?
Do you have VIN flagged?
You should buy obd cable ,lithium battery charger,a good laptop and proper software.
Better find out someone in your area or ask for remote coding if not expert.
There are people in this forum that knows how do it.

Yes,charger is very important.
During the last session mine was 12.9-13 V.
Everything flowed👍
I 've found this battery AD,interesting.

My car isn't connected drive enabled so can't access OTA updates.

Dealers are also very difficult and try to lock new software features behind model years

It's a 2020 M850i Gran Coupe.

Should mention, it's not connect drive enabled because I'm not in a 'connected drive market'.
