The upgrade can be installed immediately
when all prerequisites have been met.

started"

play.
Installing with timer

cooled down engine.

The installation starts automatically when:
▷ All prerequisites for the installation have
been established correctly.
▷ All prerequisites continue to be met at the
time of installation.
The timer is turned off when the drive-ready
state is turned on.
Installing via the My BMW App

the upgrade installation via the My BMW App.
