Can People Leave During BMW Upgrade?
2 Answers
People cannot leave. Because during the system upgrade, the vehicle's electrical system must remain powered. Here is some related information: 1. Logo. The B.M.W. in the BMW logo stands for Bavarian Motor Works, and the colors and combination of the logo come from the coat of arms of Bavaria, where BMW is located. 2. History: BMW, Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (German: Bayerische-Motoren-Werke-AG, or BMW). BMW is one of the world's renowned automobile companies and a leader in the production of high-end cars. Founded in 1916 and headquartered in Munich, Germany, BMW has evolved over 80 years from an aircraft engine manufacturer to a corporate group specializing in premium cars, as well as globally acclaimed aircraft engines, off-road vehicles, and motorcycles, ranking among the top 20 automobile companies in the world. BMW is also translated as "Bavarian Motor Works."
When I used to upgrade my BMW, I always wondered if I could walk away and do something else. Once, I tried an OTA software update that took half an hour, so I slipped away to a nearby café, but the mobile app sent an alert saying the update failed. I rushed back to restart the system. Since then, I’ve advised not to completely leave the car during an upgrade—it’s better to monitor it from inside or nearby. If you encounter a network interruption or error prompt, you can address it promptly. Now, before every upgrade, I check that the network signal is strong, the parking spot is safe, and I’m not blocking anyone’s way. Overall, BMW updates are designed quite intelligently, but for safety’s sake, staying vigilant is more reliable. Think about it—if the car locks up or an alert sound goes off during the update, responding quickly can avoid major trouble, like calling a tow truck or incurring extra repair costs. In short, minor updates might be tolerable, but for major ones, it’s best to stay put for peace of mind.
