Actually they only update your software if you still have a rather old version of it without the prior priming of the pump. In your case you should already have that feature, so you won't need an update.

They do, that's absolutely correct. But they don't need to update the complete software for that.

My experience has been that BMW is always updating software on my car. I've gotten an update at least once a year. Being able to flash at home is really needed IMO.

+1 In the last two years my car must have gotten updated half a dozen times. Right now I'm getting my foglights deleted and, of course, they have to update the DME again

So I'm bound to stick with piggybacks, at least until Cobb comes with a stage 2 which also works on Euro cars.
