Service History Not Showing in iDrive

Just got my car serviced in MA. I was traveling and needed car serviced so went to closest BMW dealer which happened to be BMW of Norwell. Staff was very helpful and everything was done on time. My only issue which they have not been able to resolve is this:

1. I am not seeing the service history in iDrive after they performed the service.

I showed them pictures from the forurm of other people that had the service history. They said they had never seen that before and would definitely look into it.

I advised them (based on what I had read on the forums) that in order for this option to show up they would need to make sure to reset the service minder via the scan tool and not using the instrument cluster. They advised me that is what they had done.

They proceeded to take the car back in and go thru the procedure of resetting the computer all over again to try to get the service history to show up in iDrive...but no luck.

Any thoughts?

1. How long does it take for iDrive to update with service record? is it instantaneous or does it have to get downloaded form somewhere..

2. What are my options?

Dealer advised me to come back in monay when their genius is on sight and we can try to work this out at that time. They seem to think that this information will be downloaded to the car from BMW NA....and that it will show up when the car refreshes...


Help Please...

Good point...

I just assumed the US also had it...

Is the same everywhere. If done properly shows up immediately. Apparently lack of training at some dealerships. Cost me 2 weeks asking, but finally took the service mgr all of 5' to load it. Now all ok and idrive shows service history.
Good luck with your dealer - just insist.

Same problem here. Had 1200mi service done today & no history in iDrive. Dealer saying they've never heard of that and after I showed them the pictures they believe it's "something custom" (which I said is not the case), or "Europe only" (which is possible.)

Can anyone with a US Spec car confirm they have service history in iDrive?

I'll check mine and report back (I had my 1200 mile svc last week). What path in iDrive do you take to get there?

The U.S. F80 version does not install service info into the iDrive. Instead, when you go to vehicle info, it displays the expected mileage and date based upon your previous date of service and driving style. For example, with the engine oil highlighted in my M3, it lists 10,000 miles and an expected date of June 2015 for this service. I confirmed as such with our local BMW genius and BMWNA.

Hope this helps.
