bump.

Our car is making excellent power after the dme update with the stage 1 jb3 +5 psi and Ar Design downpipe. But it really really quieted down the exhaust and back fires.

chime in - and help us N55ers.

Just had my first annual low mileage oil change done yesterday, and they did the software update. Did not ask for it, they told me it had to be done when I made the appointment for the oil change.

And I thought I was imagining it when I drove it today, guess not..... The pops and burbles was one of the reasons why I got the BMW PE exhaust.

[ian2002525]

whats the milage to do oil change for free in dealer, 10000 or 12000 mile?

[shockin330i]

15000

[dicker]

Or when the car tells you/the dealer. I'm on track for 17,000 miles.

Any n55 manual cars with v5 in here? I'm curious about the constant SES lights and half engine lights with 3-20 and 3-21 maps/firmware. Specifically, I'd like to know if the new dme updates address this or not.

I'm also curious about the issue in first gear where the car dies at 6500 rpm. At this point it seems it's only a MT issue and I'd like to know who else is having this issue and if the dme update has fixed it.

Just curious how you guys are getting the update. Are you just requesting it? Or is the dealership recommending it at this point. Also I can't seem to find a solid answer on weather or not this update is actually better (performance wise), can some one fill me in? Really not looking forward to pulling the DP off just for a DME update, if I don't need it.

Its only 1 dp and you should update it.

[jjurroz]

Do you get SES lights or half engine lights (limp) at idle or low cruise? What happens when you rev the car to 6500 rpm in 1st gear WOT?

I've spoken to other MT owners and they experience all of the above. If you're saying you don't and you have the latest dme update then updating may be the solution. Shiv can't reproduce (his shop car is always on the latest and greatest.)

nope.
i run on the upper rpm daily. no limp.

i believe i went into limp once when the bimmer
was adapting to the tune. After that, hasn't happen'd
again.

as long as the update is 2.40 dme or later
you should be good. most likely you'll get 2.43 dme.

took my car in for a dme software 0059740 update yesterday, re-did the golf tee afterwards, seems like the car is much quieter after the update

You need a catless dp in your life...

When I had the BMW Performance kit installed 4 weeks ago, DME software was also updated.

The car is not any quiter at all.

They charge to update the software if you're not doing it for a recall. $230 and it takes 1.5 hours. Forget that.

So based on my build date, does it really matter that much that my DME is a bit older if I get a JB4?

I have the same build month as you, my car arrived beginning of February. I had my intermediate oil change yesterday. Long story short, I asked about the update, when i picked up my car they told me it was not warranted and that they had not updated. Said my current version is 2.39.2

I am not happy about this, my dealer sucks sometimes.

Did you eventually get an update? I'm still stuck in the same situation. Pay or no update.

For those people who have used a "long crank" as the reason to go in, if the long crank cannot be confirmed with testing, do they still perform the DME update just in case?
