03/2023.65 : Changes I noticed.

Anyone got the 03/2023.65 software update yet ?

If you did please let me know some people with 03/2023.XX apparently got their pops back. Wondering what else changed too.

The dealer flashed my car to 03/2023.65 but it's still in service awaiting other items.

Comment down below !

Update :
Putting some notes for 03/2023.65

Changes I noticed :
  1. I noticed that the Harman Kardon's Bass Frequencies are noticeably better in sound reproduction with this new update as long as you disable A.S.D. and have a working RAM Booster Module.
  2. The Steering is even stiffer to move off center with more dead zone.
  3. D.A.P. is more inconsistent and twitchy now bouncing back and forth between the lane. It seems it doesn't stay at center because its micro drifting versus previous softwares where it was centered constantly..

BimmerCode Changes still working for me
Coding Active Sound Design to OFF! (Best Thing Ever)!
Coding "Traffic View" into the instrument clusters for those that have D.A.P. before a certain date.
Exhaust : Engine sound : Still able to change flaps.

BimmerCode Changes not working anymore : if it's not in the list below you can test it yourself and update the thread.
Bowers & Wilkins profile completely removed ; no pre-set option in BimmerCode anymore!

So it's Either BMW or BimmerCode finally acknowledging this thing can go sour quickly with codecs and speakers mismatch.

I had my pops and burbles back since 2021 build . I had it on 11/2022.40 as well. Same with this current one still have burbles and pops just gotta roll windows down and turn off music.
I do notice each software update makes the steering Progressively harder! It's probably to solve that crazy speed steering adjustment issue everyone complains about.

I知 on 3/2023.50 as about three weeks ago. 2021 M340. I could be wrong, but exhaust sounds better than ever since the flash. I had forgotten I updated, and then noticed the sound without looking for any improvement. I am probably wrong, however.

Mhmm Their's one more theory no dis-credit to anyone on 03/2023.50 or 03/2023.65 about their exhaust discovery changes. BUT I have theory and I really think BMW upped the sound config on Active Sound Design. If you have bimmercode its a perfect way to rule out this factor.

You should roll your windows down and hear your exhaust in sport plus, take not of that, then go into bimmercode turn OFF active sound design and see it again.

For me I noticed when I got the car's exhaust was louder because I had active sound design off before update.

Rolled down windows in sport plus mode will hear the burbles and pops the same way.

Turned off Active Sound Design and immediately noticed the the Harman Kardon Speaker system got better and the car quieter.

Still same burbles and pop with windows rolled down in sport plus.

I have a 2021. Still on 11/2021.66. No update showing on my app or car. Is this the current version for my year?

I知 going to be going to the dealership for some service soon and was planning to have them update it since I知 on 7/21. Does anyone know if the new update will work with bimmercode? I have a few options codded through it and was wondering if you can still disable auto start/stop.

Also, is it recommended I update or is it better to stay on 7/21?

I haven't tested if Bimmercode still works with auto start/stop, but I can test it out later today. I've seen others report that it doesn't work anymore, but you can get around that by using sport/sport+ modes. I don't mind the feature as it's saved my car from idling for over 3 days now based on the information in iDrive.
