That's entirely true. I've been researching exhaust options, I wanted to go for MPE, but BMW don't sell the MPE in Europe. Asked my dealership why is that and they told me it's due to EU sound regulations. I'm fairly sure it's due to the PPF. My dealership also wasn't sure if my car had a PPF, they told me it most likely doesn't have one, but it does

I'm wondering if BMW will do a software update and silence all the PPF cars too, not just the 2020

Yeah it seemed like he go the "US update" . I tried updating the software on mine and they didn't touch the ECUs for some reason - presumably because there wasn't a more recent software.

That's right, the dealership can't update specific modules. Their system automatically determines which modules to update. For some reason his car got the "US update", with the louder pops and bangs, while on my car the ECUs weren't updated, but the NBT for example did get updated.

Nothing noticeable in terms of features, but all my stored quick dial shortcuts (the 1-7 buttons) were wiped, along with some other minor settings. I'm sure the ECUs weren't updated because the coding for remembering the start/stop settings were still there (and they were wiped when they did the 1200 mile service).

Switzerland is NOT part of the EU... and yet, no MPE available here. I hope we still get the sound...

Agreed Ian335xd however how do we access that software update now to get the noise back? I am sure there is a simple way around this if there is someone one out there (tuning company etc...) that knows of the issue and has addressed it.
I hope so, guide me if you hear of anything being made available. |

So in order to bring the "old" Sound back we have to do a software tune? If that's the case the warranty will get lost, right?
I will cancel my order on the M5C if there wont be a solution to bring the "old" Sound back without warranty loss.. |
