Mine is November 2014 and running original software. It's a bit hairy getting the power down and handling is fidgety on uneven roads. Doesn't feel anywhere near as stable as my E60 M5 did at higher speeds. Still a great car though. Just a bit worried about software updates effecting warranty.
Had the GTS reflash & software update done on Saturday remotely by Henry (Kurai).

Had the following coded too - folding mirrors on lock, DRL on/off, acoustic beep on (un)lock & start/stop from memory.

Only had the chance of a short blast but initial thoughts are :
- a lot better off the line with kangarooing eliminated from 1st gear
- deeper exhaust note through the range even with CG valve controller installed
- various codings can be done at the same time (see above)
- smoother gear changes (in sport and sport + mode)
- haven't noticed extra burbles or blips (mine is a 2014 non-CP car)
- haven't noticed extra hp but to be honest haven't been for a real blast yet
- haven't noticed any change in steering but Henry mentioned this is more noticeable in MDM mode.

Would I recommend the reflash? Yes, especially for older cars
Would I recommend Henry (Kurai)? Yes
