Picked up my car today and noticed the changes in the UI for the engine temperature and the green mode. See picture.
In green mode, the small circle hovers around more actively.

I like it that it's actually making more use of the the pixels in that tiny display.
I haven't checked the firmware version yet, but will when I find time to code some options again. (full shutdown when opening door, tail lights with day time running lights and stuff)


When attempted coding, it shows firmware version F056-16-03-502 (=2016 March). I couldn't pull anything using psdzdata 2.54.1.

That really helps dry out the vent walls reducing AC stink. It probably fixed some rare bugs too.

You have to fight for the update. They won’t just do it for you. Mention the air circulation fix if yours doesn’t do it. I only noticed when I was in a loaner Clubman 2018(or 2019) model doing that.

I noticed "trunk open" message came up. I pulled over to the next parking lot and closed the trunk. I believe the seat belt pushed "trunk release" button.

1) So this software update would make that trunk button on the remote key inoperable even if you press and hold it while driving?
2) The air circulation fix, you mean keeping fan running for couple of minutes after car is shut off? Or something else?

I purchased this car 4 months ago and still learning... By the way, my 2016 F55 Cooper S already came with what looks like updated graphics in Green Mode.

Nothing in the owner's manual about it that I could find, but just accepted it the first time I noticed it when the car was new. I can't recall if it does the same after you've been driving without the A/C on.
