Some improvements in newer firmware applied to an early Civic M3 would make it feel better (steering, gearbox, throttle response, TC definitely improved in my 2016 updated) but it won't feel like a ZCP because of the mechanical differences. |

Edit: they also say I can buy a 3rd party tune but that's about it. No OEM (they say). |

Yes dealer wanted 250$ plus tax for the new software update for me. I think I’m gonna get it. I have a 2015 M4 and can’t stand the software I’m hoping for the update to make at least a noticeable difference in the traction control setting and first gear jerkyness

As for the 1st gear jerking that's still there as it's geared so short in 1st and any rough piece of road or lack of attentiveness on the drivers part will result in your foot bouncing slightly on the throttle pedal and the car kangarooing forward. |

They often do it for free to cure some common issues but I don't think there was anything notable on the F8X like on the E9X. |

I believe that a work around has already been established for this, as it doesn't actually, "lock" the ECU. Is this so? Cheers!

In the UK you have to pay to have Apple car play added via the connecteddrive website...and I did and it works fine on my early 2017 car with an iphone X.

Software got updated, and wow! What a difference..... no more jerkiness is the biggest win of the update..... driven on D3/+sport for the last 2 days to try to get it to jerk and nothing! Also notice that the ASD is not as loud anymore, and my MPE sound way better.... this is all coming from a 2016 (10/15 built) with no update ever done since now...... Got the Dealer to do the update for free as I kept complaining about the jerkiness... (F020-19-07-539)

I looked through a lot of the pages, but didn't see this question asked. Has anyone had any luck having the dealer update the istep from a base M to a zcp or cs, with associated tq/hp increases?

You're betting off getting the car flashed by Alex@Alpine or one of the various tuners here if you'd want the ZCP, CS or GTS hp/torque increase.

Car is still on warranty and thinking of pushing dealer for an update. Car is a 2016. No issues really other than maybe transmission a little jerky (haven't driven another M3 so could be just the way DCT is). For guys that have got the update covered under warranty is there anything you specifically told the deal which pushed them to cover it without having to push them too much?

After putting on Eibach V1 springs the dealer was having a hard time getting the alignment right. It keeps pulling barely right but also doesn't track straight on long sweeping turns. Anyways..... the tech came out to speak with me and the tech wanted to try a few things but then offered a software upgrade. I didn't have the time to do it right then but will drop it off in the AM to have it done. Will share my impressions.
