1) Depends what your E90 came with from the factory
2) Dont know if it been added to the "retrofit" software list yet
3) Only the dealers service computer can tell you waht version software you have ( idrive or not )
Now comes the bit where people get confused
The car have a certain main software number loaded ( say E60-05-03-500 )
Now the dealer recieves the sofware on a DVD called a CIP disk
These CIP disks have number like 15.0, 15.1, 51.2, 16.0 ect ect
the CIP disks contain sofware for 1Series, E90, 5 Series, 6 Series and 7 Series.
Everytime one of these cars software changes a new CIP disk is released.
But becasue one changed doesnt mean the others did
So CIP 15.0 may have new software for the 5 Series, but not the E90
Only the dealer can check if there is new software for the E90 by seeing if a new sofware number is on the disk for the E 90
eg E60-05-06-520 to replace E60-05-03-500 we had before
So we have to wait and hear which CIP have new E90 software
CIP 17.1 is the latest out
It has a small fix for a eronious european N52 VANOS fault, nothing else for the E90
CIP16.1 or newer is needed for the cars that wont allow Bluetooth to work ( these car already had this software, but for some reason it didnt load properly in the bluetooth module )
I think we need a sticky on Software updates
