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 had the 'flickering' dash issue and BMW updated my software to fix that glitch. I have a '16. I did noticed the exhaust note was deeper. I also noticed throttle response was a lot better on my manual. Can some confirm this as well? Also, OP, where do I go to see the version I have?

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.

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

I have an appointment on September 7 to check the car for a cut of power like (3 Sec) at times when I push the car while driving in sport plus. I asked the dealer to check spark plugs and coils. The service Rep told me the car need a software update. You mean to tell me my car is going to get worse after the update?

Also my car is codec will this update erased that as well?

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...
