Anyone else out there with the new software notice their car doesn't immediately fire on the first crank like it used to?
Mine isn't having really LONG cranks per se', but consistently takes a second or 2 to fire up. Mileage has also dropped from 21.4 to 20.6mpg. I drive almost the same exact route pretty consistently.

Well, its been a while since I had the new software done. The car is running fine (power is good) but like you said it doesn't start like it used too. I don't get the long cranks but, its a little bit longer. It's livable for now but, what I do get now after a long time of idle is the stumble start. The car will start, rev to like 3k then idle to the point of stalling, then rev up again and finally settling down. |

Just got the car back and I don't feel any power loss it pulls as before. I still sense that the crank is a bit longer than normal though. But the good thing is that I don't notice any difference in the power delivery it pulls just as hard as before.

I'll add my results to this thread......
My HPFP was replaced last week, along with a DSC module, taillights, and the new software update. I had been getting long cranks for 6 weeks, and "limp mode" happening twice. They had to flash my ECU/software 3 times total due to the DSC module not responding. After replacing that part it was able to complete without any problems. Overall, I'm very disappointed with the performance and driveability. This isn't in my head either, it is very easy to tell how much slower it is and how it doesn't "pull" hard at all. I seriously feel like the 328xi I just turned back in pulled harder. Here are the details:
I really hope it can adapt to the new software. I see some of you posted better results after driving it for a few weeks. Mine has 200 miles on the new software already and I don't see any difference yet. I will be emailing my SA to at least provide feedback and let them know that it seems down on power. I love the car, and had an amazing trip to Germany to pick it up......but I'm starting to question if keeping it is worth the hassle.

Well, the day was soon to come again. As, I mention before I was having long crank starts and my dealership did the software upgrade. The car ran fine but now I do feel that the top end has lost some of its punch. Today, under full throttle the car went into Limp mode. Its misfiring and Im getting the check engine light. I barely made it to the dealer this morning and dropped it off. Lets see whats in store for me now. This is the seventh time I've been to the dealership with this car. Three of them have been related to the HPFP. As a first time BMW owner I cant say that I will be a return customer.

I took my car in yesterday for emergency service for the 1st time (only other warranty repair was the recall during an oil change). My water pump was malfunctioning and I was getting limp modes during long cruises (6th gear @ 70mph). I have 25,000 miles on the car and never a long crank. Seems like you had bad luck, but what ever you do - make sure your next car isn't an Audi - because those things live at dealerships. |

I have a question. How do I know if I have the latest software or not? I bought my car cpo'd a couple weeks ago. Should I just assume that it has it?
Thanks |

^ I just checked mine too and it's exactly the same as yours. I think my manufacture date is Jan 08. Would like to know as well if this is the latest.

Got mine yesterday
When my waterpump went out this week I asked my SA to update my ECU. I told him I was having some trouble with the radio stations, and that there were some occasional long start-ups. They opened a PUMA and got it approved.
I picked up the car and frankly I cannot tell the difference. I feel better that I have the latest and greatest flash (and supposedly it took overnight because the first flash burned through some sensors) - but I just cannot tell that they did something. For those that think there is a problem, take it to a dyno. Even if you haven't done a run prior, you could at least compare it to the dozens of dyno runs that have been posted here. |
