I would go about getting a PPK sw update. Either from a BMW dealer or from the various remote coders IF you have an early N55. The PPK seems to solve a lot of these weird driveability issues.

IF your car's SW isn't that old... then there is a good chance the update with go smoothly.
Can the PPK cause a possible issue like the other software update? My car is a 2012 model but built October 2011.

I find it really f'd up that BMW would release an update that could break the car when it's supposed to fix something that they got wrong in the first place.
