exactly wtf happened to my car @ the dealer?
Hi, long time, hope everyone is well...was in europe for 5 weeks, came back on 10/5 and the service light was on. 18,400. took it in on 10/8 and they did some sort of service on the car, oil, filter, etc. I picked up a nasty cold traveling so I have been out of it but bottom line, my car feels like a totally different car. the obvious clue is that all of my settings were wiped out, seat position, door locks etc. there are difference in the display. fine, whatever. the big issue is it seems they put a different map in place and i have totally lost comfort mode, and all the modes now feel different. I am not sure if they broke something or this is considered an upgrade but I don't care for it. actually I fucking hate it. I live in LA and the roads are total crap here. I want the car back to the way it was or at least the way it felt. am I alone here or did the new peugeot 308 that I leased for a month ruin me? I am 100% serious here, something is amiss and I need to get this sorted. thoughts? thank you

much tighter and there’s less dampening. The most notable change is the responsiveness of the motor and shift points. I will check the pressure, out of town so I need to find my friends gauge but this seems like a major firmware update. whatever it is I must have comfort restored, the rest I can live with. the current comfort feels far more twitchy than sport did. why would they do such a thing, did they really think that everyone is 20 that owns this thing? nothing against being 20 but I am 3x+ that age

The M2 doesn't have adaptive dampers, so I don't imagine there's actually less damping. Tire pressures may be off, check those are previously mentioned. I think it's actually that you're used to that Peugeot 308, both from the ride quality and the responsiveness of the motor.

You can check your istep rev via the navigation settings page in idrive.
As far as I know they will not be able to revert back to an older istep rev. I specifically asked that question after I underwent my first update which (IMO) affected the sounds coming from the car. |

OK
just got back from a drive. maybe I am not explaining myself that well, I have been pretty much sick for going on 3 weeks now. euro cold from hell. it seems that the dynamics of the car have changed in comfort and sport, the modes feel very different. possible causes; firmware from 11/8 service, month long 308 rental, getting old, residual from cold, typing lower case, who the fuck knows. I have had the car for 2 years now, I would think I should know how it feels but maybe I am talking out of my ass here. will report back monday after the dealer tells me I am insane. if you lived in la you would use comfort, trust me

Suspension is definitely not adjustable. Explain what you mean by dynamics?
And I live in LA and never drive comfort. I also think the car is a tad too soft. So different strokes for different folks. |

I just had my istep updated, and the night and day differences you reported just arent there.> However what IS there was a total wipeout of all my settings..
So iM guessing thats what you had done.. Of course, there were no changes to suspension so that must be either something else, of you forgot what this car feels like>. The actual perceptual changes were slight. Slightly more pops and burbles in MDM mode and its been reported that this mode has become more 'playful' with regard to the nature of the safety interventions.. but by and large, not a big change elsewhere.

Maybe someone played a joke on you and put shipping blocks on your suspension? Also this is your problem, because it's your car, and it's up to you to deal with it. Take responsibility for your own choices. Good luck! |

I honestly believe the cause of this is you being away from your car for some time, driving a different car during that time.
There can be no other explanation for your perceived difference in suspension feel. Other than that, I believe any other difference of feel in the car would be attributed to the car having to re-learn your driving manner after an istep update. I didn't catch if you are driving a dct or manual but didn't recent istep updates change the dct behavior (for the better)... |
