My seat Profiles stopped working a few weeks ago. It would refuse to budge from the easy entry position. I deleted and recreated easy entry and then it remained in my profile setting and wouldn’t move to easy entry on Park, despite the easy entry option being selected. After a couple of reboots it went away.
Not that anyone here cares really, but I finally succumbed and installed 2021.4.12. I got sick of dismissing the nag every drive.
The UI’s not that bad, although the super-sized graphics and animations are a bit of an indulgent wank rather than a genuine improvement to benefit the user. The speed indicator could be bigger. They still don’t have a glovebox icon in the bottom row.

For those disappointed with the December M3 UI shrunken font, Australia should finally be getting a much better for situational awareness gear shift indication, with 2021.4.13. Currently, when you shift from P to say, D, the only indication of change is on the vaguely contrasted light grey 3mm font. You see a 0 km/hr, until you move. With the firmware upgrade, you will see a D momentarily in the 0 space.

Can anyone please explain Model 3 HVAC recirculation? I see three options:
1. icon showing blue which I assume is recirc on;
2. recirc icon greyed out; and
3. recirc icon not greyed out and not blue.
It is the difference between the last two that I don’t understand. I have looked at the PDF manual but there is no explanation of the difference and trust that someone may have some insight. Logic would indicate that one would be automatic recirc selection if air contamination was sensed as it is on later model BMWs but I am guessing.

Basically when you set the AC to 'auto' the car will also automatically control the recirculate setting as well. It will automatically turn recirculate on/off. If the desired set temp is similar to the outside it will turn off recirculate to bring in the outside air, if you want a set temp to be much lower or higher than the outside it will turn on recirculate to more quickly cool/heat the cabin, etc.
When you see a greyed out blue recirculate icon it means the car has decided to turn on recirculate now but it's greyed because its in control of the setting. If you manually tap the recirculate button, recirculate will remain on/off until the next time you toggle AC auto off/on again (not sure if it resets when the car goes to sleep or not). Basically once you tap the recirculate button once it will give you full control over it and remain in whatever state you set it to.
This video explains it briefly at the start but it's basically what I said above.

Looking at 2021.4.15 there have been some changes to the layout of the screen. The speedometer is closer to the top right of the screen and the car image when stationary is larger and more directly from above. The warning indicators are still on the right and at risk of being obscured by your hand on the wheel while driving. I like the change.
More deceit. Simple truth, like it or not, would be fine. Spent significant time chasing up why Australia lacked this prominent UI gear shifting indication, that is in every M3 in North America. It was clearly designed as a compensation for the smaller low contrast font. No reason given for not having it in Australia, just a statement of the firmware in which it was coming here. Lying $#&@%.

I have problems with it wanting to go at 100k/hr rather than 80. Do you have that issue too?
In the tunnel? Yes, I have to manually wind it back down to 80.
