Curious about this. Car is currently at the dealer and at least some updates are being done along with a replacement telecom module. SA says they are updating “the whole car” but Half the SA’s don’t know their ass from a whole in the ground and I assume it’s just flapping gums for the average concerned bmw driver.
I’ll check BM3 as soon as I get the car back next week |

Yes I think Q is latest and should have improved steering and ability to “hack” full screen CarPlay. I just had my 2017 updated last week and definitely notice an improvement in steering and throttle unless just placebo effect.

I just requested mine to be updated yesterday. My SA is awesome. He and the tech scoured the update list and found nothing about steering. He agreed to push it anyway under my other iPhone reliability complaint. They agreed sometimes other updates are hidden.
No noticeable change, albeit a tad lighter and more direct, but also had alignment performed so my results are confounded. |

Upgrade from NBT_EVO M to NBT_EVO Q done today on my late-2017 LCI. I confirm that the steering is strongly improved: it is lighter and more precise in Sport and Sport+, and less floating in Comfort. And the ASD seems to be turned off totally. Thank you, BMW!

The asd on mine came back over a few days. I have now coded it to the "UL" volume setting (power class) and it's absolutely fine at that low setting. |

That is easy to do yourself I you have payed for the option. They updated everything on my car because I have realy bad FM/DAB reception and the dealer said the only thing they can do is update everything. They can not change the headunit under warranty because the headunit does not give any fault codes. On the M2 there is no seperate FM/DAB antenna they say at the dealer? Result is still bad FM and DAB reception....

At full bore, my BMW dealer charges, I think, $130, however there is always a coupon for under $100. Find another dealer or move!

UPDATE!
So…the first time I drove my pre LCI MY 17 M2 with sofware NBTevo_Q18491I was after I did not drive ithe car for two weeks. At the first sight I could not feel that much difference then 2 weeks before. Probably because there was a two weeks time frame between dropping the car and getting it back (in the meantime a drove a horrible X1). So now I drove a (not updated) M2 LCI MY18 (20.000km) vs my (updated )pre LCI MY17 (60.000km) on the same day…back to back (both manual). When driving with my own M2 straight after the M2 LCI I could notice the following things: Gearbox: My gearbox is more notchy then the one of the LCI I drove. Has nothing to do with the update I know, maybe it's because of the lower mileage or the easier life that the LCI car had? I drive mine hard and also occasionally on track. PDC: Reverse keeps beeping fixed and works like in every other car. MDM: A little more slip. Engine: A little less turbolag (feels like a little less aggressive power delivery). Steering: I don’t think the steering is now absolute great, but it’s certaintly better. There’s is also more vibration felt from changes in road surfaces, but it still feels a little dead in the middle. I did not notice big differences in steering weight like before update.

After updating to NBTevo_Q18491I do other people feel the M2 power delivery is less aggressive? Or is it just in my head

Hey guys.... in a few days I should be getting my 2018 LCI M2 and based on this thread I am trying to convince the dealer to install the latest sw update before I pick up the car
The sales rep seemed a bit confused about my request, thought i was talking about the GPS software Hopefully I've clarified what I want in the last email, we'll see what happens PS. glad to see a bunch of fellow Belgians here |

Hello, Mainly referring to OG/LCI owners here:
I have seen this thread about the potentially better steering feel you get from the newest ISTEP (F-020-????) but what else is included for the og/lci m2? If is also includes the improved differential and mdm mode that comes in the M2 competition, allowing more slippage and improved traction,then its a no brainer Can anyone confirm ? If one is to flash it through an AD, can I still Apply Bootmod3 parameters on top? Cause I heard that some of the newer ISTEP versions are restricting new third party parameters from being implemented. Thanks mates |
