How does BMW Remote Software Upgrade work?

As soon as new software is available for your BMW, you will be notified by push message via the My BMW App (if installed on your smartphone and connected to the vehicle) or via your vehicle's Central Information Display. To start the upgrade, make sure your vehicle is safely parked and will not be used for the next 20 minutes approximately. Simply follow the instructions to install the upgrade.
