Quieter Exhaust Sound since Software Update?
Today I noticed, that the exhaust sound get quieter since my last software update. Currently it is the v59.0.
Especially the sound when you hit the limiter in Neutral there are no bangs anymore?! Somebody else noticed this? Really annoying, what BMW changes during their updates... |

I recently got updated to 59 last weds. Car is a Nov. '15 build with old software from that time. I immediately noticed several things after all modules were updated
1. Startup revs higher, kind of like a mini GTS 'roar' 2. Smoother throttle in sport plus 3. Engine sounds like it idles a bit differently. 4. Havent noticed a quieter exhaust volume though, I have MPE. 5. DCT shifts more immediately, snaps\pops into 3rd like it does into 2nd. 6. Car doesn't jerk or shudder into 2nd gear when auto downshifting D mode coming to a stop. |

because of problems with the idrive, i got blackscreen with an Error No Signal now this issue is fixed but with the new v59.0, I get sometimes a warning, that my headlights doesn't work, altough they are working. The warning dissapears really quick, but you get it for a short time vvnguyen1981 you can see it with e-sys. otherwise you can look after it when you export your profiles from Idrive. you get a text file which you can open normally. Canuckles since the update, i got the jerks when downshifting from the 3th into the 2nd really often there is a thread, where a lot of people are complaining about it since the update to v59.0 all in all it's a good update, but it's really annoying, that the exhaust sound is gone when you hit the rev limiter the last time when i tried it, it was ridiculous because you can't hear anything except the engine, there where no pops etc |

Newest software doesn't always equate to best... Search the forums - lots of people were not thrilled with 59, myself included... I was fortunate to have access to one of the best coders around to reverse it back... Car was quieter at start up, quieter while driving, just quieter all around... Felt the engine was dummied down a bit as well, amongst other things...
