Update installed overnight. No idea what it contains. I'm tech deficient.
Sometimes I get monkey urges to rip the curved flatscreen out of the dash and smash it on the ground. Sometimes.

I just want to mash the pedal and drive. The bolt-on software is extraneous and in-the-way, and probably outsourced to be coded in a 3rd world place.

Stay calm….everything will be ok. As it turns out, the apps update as you drive, which is glitchy. I’m just hoping the updates slow down to once a year. That way I won’t remember how to run the update.

Could be an iPhone ios issue. Did you update to the latest ios version 26.4.1 just before this issue started?
Do both of you having this issue have the same iPhone model? Have you done a hard reboot on your iphone to see if that makes a difference?
I dont believe its an iOS issue unless there's a specific compatibility w/ iDrive9. I dont have this issue in the M3 (iDrive8.5). I have a 16 Pro Max.
Will give the phone a hard reset to see..

Did you follow the 3 stage installation process? Or perhaps the installation step was delayed because you have a specific time set for vehicle to initiate herbal installation step.

Must be connected by both WiFi & Bluetooth Follow ID9 vehicle instructions carefully.

Step 1- DOWNLOAD update to phone through MyBMW App while connected to WiFi 

Step 2-“TRANSFERRING”/DOWNLOAD from MyBMW app to vehicle “DRIVING IS REQUIRED” PREPARATION- AFTER TRANSFER IS COMPLETE AUTOMATICALLY VEHICLE GOES INTO “PREPARATION” FOR A FEW MINUTES IT’S OK TO BE DRIVING. 

Step 3- “INSTALLATION” “VEHICLE MUST BE OFF & PARKED WITH ALL DOORS, WINDOWS & SUNROOF CLOSED. [ALSO, Starter Battery Must be Fully Charged] Takes about 20 minutes & can’t be driven until completed. Notice on phone will advise when completed
Thank you so much for the instructions, I actually followed this, and it didn’t show up. However, after waiting, yesterday it popped up! I successfully updated it.
