Is this something they just do when you go in for scheduled service?Is it something you have to request them to do or can they just do it without telling you?I definitely don’t want to mess up the wonderful sound of my car.

Are these crackles and whatnot purely ASD being pumped into the cabin then? Does the M2 not make these noises for people outside the car as well? I thought it did...
FWIW, 2018 m240i owner here (January delivery), and I swear my car does NOT have ASD functioning either. Several other reports in the F22 forum of people claiming the same, with one being certain that it stopped functioning immediately after this software update.

Not mandatory. But I would imagine if anyone had any sort of complaint that could be software related, the probable course of action would be checking for and installing latest istep. |

IF this is true, it really sucks.. This is very typical of BMW.. I had an '11 135i prior to my M2.. One of the 'mandatory' software updates caused significant loss of throttle response and was well known throughout the community... I tried to opt out, but SA said I didnt have a choice; ie, that while I was under warranty and receiving 'free' maintenance, I had to accept the latest software updates issued by BMW. I bitched and moaned, and ultimately, a year later, caught the ear of my dealership manager. I had learned on line that the BMW installed Performance Power Kit (PPK) fixed this problem while delivering more power.. So I told them I would accept help with this upgrade as a solution to the throttle lag instituted with their mandatory sw upgrade. They came back to me with a very good price and fair offer on the upgrade which I gladly accepted.. As a result, I was able to delay the purchase of my M2 until the LCI model was released.
But in general, BMW sucks with these software detunes that they continue to throw at us, rendering the vehicle something less than what we bought.. It shouldnt be legal when they change the character of the vehicle we purchased.

Its linked to your Keyfob.. Whenever youre in for service, Theyll scan it and any recalls and associated updates either needed or performed will pop up.

But I question the legality of such a move...they basically altered a product that no longer belongs to them....without the owner's consent or knowledge, that affects the character and/or performance of the car. I'm obviously no lawyer but am I wrong here? Just doesn't sit right with me. |

i just went to test drive a m2 with MPE today and the car had no burbles and crackles, the sales manager is looking into it for me. i told him it will be a deal breaker without burbles and crackles, i won't buy the car with the MPE that has no burbles and crackles.....

Why would they want to detune the throttle response?!.. I have no idea.. Some theorized it was to ease pressure on the HPFP which was a known fail point on the N54s and some early N55s. Who knows.. but thats what happened with the N55 135i.. So far, with the M2, this is the first Ive heard about it, and in this thread, we have a couple of reports of decreased sounds, and one report of no change whatsoever.. Have to see what develops as more people get the recall service.

Instead it will be us against bmw...with them saying, 'sir...it's all in your head'. Or like has been said...the number of affected cars increases significantly. I also lost the ability to scroll around the map using the touch pad. Anyone else with the update have same issue? |
