9/14/08: Latest Program Version?

hl0m4n · 09-14-2008, 02:24 AM

my car is in service and i had to get the new progman version for a steering wheel lock correction. is the latest version 3.02.00?

bsamoul · 09-14-2008, 02:29 AM

can't be 3.x if the last one i remember was 29.2

mJ335 · 09-14-2008, 03:11 AM

How can we know if the dealership updated our ECUs? Can we check the version through our idrives?

nhhiep · 09-14-2008, 03:26 AM

what is wrong with BMW? they release patches more often than MS.

my car since 06 never have to get any updates.

munu · 09-14-2008, 08:08 AM

The latest version is 30.0.2. Don't get confused with 30.2, there is no such version (I guess). Easiest way to find out if your car was flashed with new software is the exhaust note. Your car will be much louder then before.

It seems new verson v31 is coming to US later this week. Some of us have big hopes that it will fix the lag issue.

but thats why i have the 540!

I'm curious...Why would a software update change the note of the exhaust? Especially making it louder? The exhaust hardware I assume is the same.

I imagine it dictates when the vacuum-controlled valve in one of the tips opens and closes, the former makes it louder.

Very interesting. I had no idea that the vehicle had that type of control. Thanks for the info!

It has something to do with wastegate which is now opened for longtime to solve the issue with rattling of wastegate. This was done via software and it caused the exhaust note to be very loud.

There is a huge thread under the 'Turbo...' section (now under sticky) and you can see all kind of info related to this software upgrade.

I am Sorry to say, but you will see the lag and the noise issue. I have noticed that people with Manual Trans are able to notice the lag more compare to Auto..but I could be wrong.

I was also on pre 29.2 version and was perfectly fine. Check with your SA which software version they installed and if they heard of anything regarding the turbo lag caused by the software. So far BMW and all the dealers are saying "car works as per design" but I am sure they know the problem it caused.

We are hoping that v31 should fix the issue but no confirmation on it yet.
For more info refer to the thread in Turbo section. It is over 60 pages and growing by 3-4 page everyday.

Heat00 · 09-15-2008, 12:30 PM

i guess I won't hear the exhaust difference

hl0m4n · 10-06-2008, 11:17 PM

i just got my car back a few days ago with a progman update. can anyone tell me what version we are at right now?

5soko · 10-07-2008, 09:18 AM

do u got the lag, 30.0.2 i think is the most recent.

E90Graphite07 · 10-07-2008, 11:45 AM

What's a good excuse to convince my SA to go ahead and have it updated, even though I don't have any actualy 'problems'? I prefer to be up-to-date on stuff, but not sure how to trick'em to doing it for me.

Why would you want to get upgraded to something that is going to make your car worse? Do you prefer turbo lag than instant response?

Everybody that is pre 29.2 is going above and beyond NOT to have their cars upgraded.
