If your problem is solved and you are happy, more power to you and I thank you for all the info, but, as been said a few posts ago and I tend to agree, I find it troubling that your BMW dealer practically gave you a whole new car in parts and we cant even get a new spark plug wire. The info you gave us sure sounds logical and rather simple to apply. With that being said I wonder why it is so difficult for the US dealers to apply what you have givin us? I do remember the BMW engineer who went with me for a ride saying that the European software versions were completely different than the US versions with emissions and safety (yes he really said safety) and that the ecu software version numbers were different than the US versions. I now know this is not true as with alot of what he spewed.
Trust me when I say that I would love to sprint over to my dealer and give him the info you just gave us and have him tell me " come on down and we will have it fixed in a jiffy", but, I have a feeling I have a better chance of getting the same old story of ancient civilizations of southeast Asia.

I couldn't have said this any better. I need to hold off until there is a DME update and as far as we all know there is no such update associated with v31. If I were to try and go to my dealership and tell them their machines are not calibrated correctly and they need to have them replaced it would not get me anywhere. As many have mentioned already I really appreciate your input E92 and please continue to supply us with as much informative material as you can but it is a different game here in the US. I wrote my SM last night and I will post later and tell you what he said but I guarantee it will not be promising.
Also, can you (E92) provide us with some more information on the PUMA case. If there is a number associated with it so I can reference that to my dealer.
