BMW offers Remote Software Upgrades at no additional charge for eligible vehicles with the correct hardware.
BMW's Remote Software Upgrades provide new features, functional improvements, and quality enhancements without any extra cost for vehicles equipped with BMW Operating System 7 and 8. These updates can be downloaded via the My BMW App or the SIM card installed in the vehicle and then installed over-the-air (OTA).
Eligibility and Cost- Free Updates: For vehicles with BMW Operating System 7 and 8, there is no additional charge for Remote Software Upgrades. This covers over 20 BMW models.
- Installation: Updates are downloaded and installed using the My BMW App or the vehicle's SIM card, making the process convenient and cost-free.
While most OTA updates are complimentary, certain specific software updates or feature unlocks might incur a cost. Historically, there have been premium charges for particular updates or feature unlocks, but these are exceptions rather than the norm.
