Does anyone have a solid overview of what the 5 actual My Modes offer?
Dealer updateI haven't received these additional modes yet. I read before that someone got these after taking their vehicle in for servicing to update the airbag controller. Has anyone received this via OTA update?
This update can't be done OTA. You must take to dealer, which i did. When you have the safety recall issue fixed, they will update to this version. The best thing about this update, which many may not have noticed is that finally you have the option to "precondition now" as soon as you turn off the car. This is great for when you want to make a quick trip to the store and leave the AC running. Now a simple press on the display does it . Before I had to constantly open the app and hit "precondition now" to keep AC goingI haven't received these additional modes yet.

They do and they have, but apparently they're having problems with OTA on iD8. The OTA updates are always one iteration behind, i.e., never the most current update but -1. I've heard that the newest (currently, 11/2022/xx) will be released sometime in the spring (which by my calendar would be probably 3-4 months away). Dealerships/service centers are randomly inclined to run an update for no reason, but never hurts to ask....Does BMW have the functionality to send OTA updates?
What makes an update different so that it can only be processed thru a BMW Service Center rather than an OTA updates?
Thanks for info. I kept hearing about doing updates at the dealer's service center. I hope they are working on the OTA updates issues. My car will be arriving at the port on Dec20 😆🎉🎊🎉😆. What OS version should I expect?They do and they have, but apparently they're having problems with OTA on iD8.

The latest one I've heard is 11/2022.25 I believe, but that could always change.🥳🥳🥳

Select the mode you want, in the left menu open settings, enable "Start mode"Hi everybody! Does anybody know how to change default mode to Efficient? When I stop and start car again it is switched to Personal mode every time. And I couldn’t find where I can change this.
Exactly😞All of the modes do not allow a default start option...Efficient is one that does not.
I have the switch in Expressive, Relax and Digital Art modes.There is no that switch in other mode settings.
I’ve just check, that’s true. But now this switch in Efficient mode. Where is the logic?I have the switch in Expressive, Relax and Digital Art modes.
