Problems after software update: Engine indicator light illuminated

Hello everyone, I have a problem with my BMW 3 (2006, 189207 km). Since I have carried out the software update for all versions, the readout of the vehicle data no longer works properly. Only navigation, roof and multimedia are displayed, whereas previously all other data was available. The engine indicator light is also on. Could someone help me to solve this problem or has anyone had similar experiences?

Summary of the thread

After a software update on a BMW 3, the vehicle data readout is malfunctioning, displaying only navigation, roof, and multimedia information, and the engine indicator light is illuminated. Possible causes include an incomplete software update or loose connections to the diagnostic port. Suggested solutions include verifying the update's completion, securing connections, performing a hard reset by disconnecting the battery, and reading error codes if the engine light remains on.

Check if the software update was completed successfully and ensure that all connections to the vehicle's diagnostic port are secure. If the issue persists, try performing a hard reset by disconnecting the battery for a few minutes, then reconnecting it. This can sometimes resolve software glitches. If the engine light remains on, have the error codes read to identify any underlying issues. Let me know how it goes or if you have further questions.
