E90 (NO i-Drive) seats and mirror key ?

[Paul 330]

I just returned from the dealer to upgrade software on my 2006 330i (no i-drive).
They say they performed: SIB 12-19-05 and SIB 12-09-05
They told me the reprogramming was completed, however
I can't call seat and mirror memory position from the key, and the
service advisor tells me this feature is not available. The invoice reads
"Cannot perform seat memory, car does not have option. Only newer cars from September
of 05 has this option"

Those of you who had the software upgraded on a similar car,does the seat and mirror
memory work from the remote?

Both my wife and I drive this car, so it is an important feature to have, and our older
2002 330i had it. We've been told for months that the new software will fix it, now we
are told it does not.

Anybody with a 2006 330i (no i-drive) has the mirror and seat mirrors memory settings
working from the remote?

Thanks in advance.
Paul

Solved![bmwdance] I was directed to BMW service bulletin SI B 09 03 05
(on another group) which describes the problem I had (no seat and mirror memory from
the remotes) and how to fix it.

I called my dealer with this information, and what was "impossible" the previous day
became "yes, we can do it". I took my car and they fixed it in no time.

I'd also like to mention something that occured to me when I just got my E90 and posted
a message describing some problems I had then.

A person from BMW headquarters called home, and I find this amazing, since I never posted
my last name, my address or phone number, my VIN or license plate number or even the name
of the dealer where I purchased my car!

Does BMW now mean "big mamma watching"?

Happy holidays to you all!
