You may be out of luck for the 6MT. Bulletin only shows that it's applicable for the DCT equipped cars.

Wow, the same thing happened to me. I just had my car serviced (135i DCT), and right when I drove away from the dealer I knew something felt different. I didn't mention anything about lag or software updates.
The pedal was definitely more responsive. I looked at my invoice sheet and it had my car listed as a 135is?! Immediately I wondered if they somehow gave me the 135is tune instead. I'll see how it sounds at WOT. |

If your referring that your car comes up on the front page of the repair order as a 135is, that's all user defined and doesn't come from the key read. You could write in M3 and it wouldn't matter. Some dealerships still use "is" to signify that it's a coupe believe it or not.
I'm sure the programming changed the software in the DME, but it's not possible to get the PPK for free. Trust me. I've tried.

And could you please check if there is anything for the good ole 6MT? The throttle response is bad and if there was really a SW update that would even get me the pops n burbles, I would be a happy, happy man.

There is nothing for the 6MT cars. The software update IS the reason why your throttle response is so bad! BMW gives us new SW that keeps the wastegates open until 3,500 rpms and the anti-tuner sw which makes tunes harder to run/work. Only solution is the PPK or a real SW tune.

So I've read bmw will update your software w/out notice or request?
I talked to my advisor today about getting updates. he said even if there is an outstanding update he wouldn't recommend it unless it was really needed/last resource. He said his las customer who requested it had his dme crash and had to be replaced. Sounds like bullshit to me! Do I need to talk to a different SA? What's the standard procedure here? |

I guess what I meant was do you think you would've gotten the same sounds without your mods? In other words do you think that the same software update would sound the same on a stock 135i?

Yes, so far so good on that issue as well. It had been getting pretty bad there over the last few weeks.. It's a world of improvement.
