2018 Updates from BMW
G'day folks,
I'm interested in feedback as to what 'noticeable' improvements people have gotten from getting the latest 2018 software updates ($220 from BMW dealership) in their F80 M3's? I'm assuming this is ecu, mdct, iDrive etc. and also 2018 Nav Maps - is there much difference from 2016/17? Cheers, Ed (Perth)

ooo interesting
apparently the ride quality in the lci 2 zcp is a bit better than the 16/17 - i've watched 2 journos comment on this so far i'd give it a go for that for those warranty conscious about vo coding non model specific settings for dct etc, this is a very good option, had no idea bmw would indulge us enthusiasts as such |

You can do the maps for free but the rest of it sounds good.Inquire with them about the gts dct flash or if what they will do is similar.

I had these updates performed recently. Not intentionally but done free by the dealer to fix an issue.
I can tell you the DCT update was aweful. Bucked and jerked worse than prior. Thud engaging reverse. Terrible. Promptly returned the GTS settings and what a difference. If the GTS DCT flash wasn't available I would have sold the car. |

Did the dealer update remove your custom coding (ie: bimmercode changes) |
