Also there was a pop from the exhaust when i barely it revved it and now it seems to sound lower and doesn't come on as often. Is this just my imagination or has someone else on here with the N55 felt the same?? Looking for some input please!

YuP! What you describe is exactly how I flet about my SW update on my N54. All the N55 guys here seem to love the new SW update. Yours is the first post I have read being negative. Perhaps your car just needs to adapt. That takes a few hundred miles.

I suspect the latest SW from BMW is just as bad (laggy) as it is for the N54. I hated the new lag so much I ended up have my car flash/tuned over here.

Here is a MEGA thread on this problem over at the e90 forum. It is mostly N54's though.
