Latest coding - ruined DCT!

Hi all, not sure if this is a new release or not but my late '18 CP just had its engine oil service and there was some 'coding due' ... I should've said no as I've been pretty happy with the setup. Anyway, they seem to have backed off the aggression of the DCT so that S3 is now like what S2 was ... the aggressive 'push through' that could get the tyres chirruping on changes is completely gone and it feels much more like the ZF8 frankly.

Also the cold start has become stupid loud - whenever you start the car it now frightens small children.

Lastly it clearly turned activesound back on - and it reminded me how daft it is - the drone at low revs is not acceptable for me - I've coded it back off so it's fine again ... all makes me feel BMW is becoming more and more about 'show' rather than 'go'

Rant over ... I'm sure I'll get over it!
