I have still not heard anything from my SA, who promised to get back to me last week.....my dealer has never treated me in this way before. I am guessing it is bc they have no solution....

And, I'm starting to get the sense that there are so few of us actually complaining that BMWNA is not going to do anything... they wanted to de-tune the car and they knew that most people wouldn't notice or complain. I think they were right. We're screwed unless we buy a tune. I'm probalby going to do that on my 2009...I hope BMW comes out with their own tune. I'll ask my service manager about it. |

Doesn't matter...we are in the VAST minority. Most people dont notice. Just look at some of the posts on this thread where people who obviously have 29.2+ and still think their car runs like a champ.

I found this thread from another thread on throttle response. I had my high-pressure fuel pump changed out in May. After that the car sounded louder but I never really noticed a lag until later. It was not glaring to me and I was never sure until I read this thread. Now I’m sure. I called my SA and asked if my programming was updated in May and he confirmed that I now have 29.1. I called a buddy who’s a service manager and talked to him. He said he will update my programming no problem but that it will take 4-8 hours. I’m not sure I want to deal with that unless I know for sure it will work. Seems like no one here can report a resolution to this issue yet so I might just wait.

I took in my car for a break-in oil change this morning. I have an MSD81 car with no lag. I told the service manager to please not upgrade my computer and he promised not to. He also had not heard of the lag issue at all.

Well on my v81/29.2 135, the lag is real.

How can I find out if I have this lag problem & also find out if I have MSD81?

The easiest way to notice, is to drive an older 335--like one built in 4/07 or something. You will just shit at the difference. It is huge.....

That explains why I don't think I have any lag issues...but then again I should drive an earlier stock model just to compare. So at this point there is really nothing for me to do because this is the way my car came from the factory (other than the obvious = tune). I ordered the SSTT, can't wait to have it installed

I have a 6mt, and till almost 3k rpm, my turbos don't do too much. First gear is the most boring gear in my gear box.
did you guys adapt to your turbo cars? What I mean is, do you start not to feel that back in your seat feeling after a while? Seems like I'm already adapting to this cars driving style or I'm just nuts.

I can say that mine before 3K is much different than after 3k. Hence, the lag.
