Software Update 2012 520d Efficient Dynamics

Hi All, 

A Quick question; is it possible to update the software on the 2012 520d Efficient Dynamics? The BMW website says my software is up to date (when i enter VIN), but I think that the car is within the models that can receive the latest upgrade. Am I wrong? Or is there any other way to upgrade?

thanks in advance!

    Thanks, thats the link I'm using. I got a link to an update on another site and updated slightly from 003.004.031 to 003.005.002, but it should be more straightforward to update via official BMW channels. I really just want spotify etc playback via bluetooth

    BMW won't give you anything free unless they have to. I think other than that link, you are into paying for it.

    Seems to be the case. Very dissapointing for such a technologically advanced company
