I had my car upgraded to software 19 yesterday. The immediate effect I noticed is that the throttle blip on downshift has softened by 50%! The car used to "bark" noticeably on downship, now its barely audible!
Another consequence is that the revs don't shoot high enough during the blip...
When the next gear engages the revs from the blip have allready had time to fall about 500-600 revs UNDER the optimum rev match for the lower gear.
A BMW technician drove it with me this mroning, and noticed the effect. But he needs to contact BMW Sweden technical to report the issue, and understand what exactly Software 19 updates contained.
If this is a planned effect, BMW, please take it back!
My car used to bark like a Rotweiler, now it chirps like a Chiuaua :grrrr:
Booooo!
