This happens to me too especially when I got WOT at speed. Sounds like the car doesn't know what it is supposed to do, so I usually manually downshift first.

They hate to do it. It takes 6+ hours to reprogram the computer and the car just sits there taking up their floor space.

Thanks for the info. I definitely feel lag, especially when in normal Drive mode and gear changes feel exaggerated and long in this mode. Is this what others have experienced? Car behaves much differently (as expected) in sport mode and with sport button pressed. Another question I had was on the exhaust - can be overbearing at times during normal local commuting at low speeds. is there any adjustment for this?

I noticed my standing idle rpm is between 760 and 800.
Anyone else? Seems like they raised it for a fix. Last edited by turbo v6; 01-12-2015 at 06:54 AM.. |

My car completely crapped out after the DME update: When I went to pick it up, it threw a check engine light so they took it back.
Then they told me me they need to keep the car longer to fix some fuel pump and crankshaft position sensor issues. The car was mostly fine until they touched it... Last I heard from them, they flew in a field engineer from BMW NA to untangle that mess. Last edited by physh; 01-12-2015 at 10:14 PM.. Reason: spelling |

Same with me. I would not recommend this update. While the intermittent idle and lag issues were annoying, this changes the character of the car in a not so desirable way. Lot less joy in my daily drive.....

I would complain to your dealer about this. Maybe they can give you a PPK tune for free or at a substantial discount. Its worth a shot. Other's have been successful.

I'm glad I've found this and will call and schedule a time to get it installed. the last time I complained about this they reset the TCU and it was better for a short time. Since the problem is most evident running the AC and it's frickin cold in north Texas I've not made it a priority until now.
I have a PPK and sport exhaust so if it gets a bit tamer on the pops and burbles i'll probably not notice. |

I mentioned doing research online to try to troubleshoot the issue myself and referenced the service bulletin directly (SIB 12-15-14) and that was sufficient enough! |

So for those of you out of warranty, try to play the safety card!

Not true, after the DME SIB 12-15-14 update. You will need your Dinan software re-installed. Just bring it to any BMW Dealership that sells Dinan and it will be done for free. That is what I did.

Dinan
I was the one who said I didn't need a Dinan update after the latest DME update was installed. Now I'm wondering what's up.
Is it possible that because I've had every incremental software update, that the latest one for me didn't overwrite the Dinan code as it might have for someone who, say, has never had an update and thus needed to play catch up? I've heard that what are popularly called "DME updates" sometimes update specific components like the DCT rather than (or in some cases in addition to) the 'main' DME. So now I'm wondering if either the update wasn't performed as the dealership said it was, or if my Dinan dealer was wrong about it still being installed... There's no way for me to check my integration level on my own, right? |
