Some of ya'll will never be happy.
Just drive it. Quit finding problems that aren't there. If you think you've got a case, start a class-action and PROVE that there was a downgrade in sound/performance.

I still love the conspiracy that the first M340s were too fast and BMW had to go back and detune all of them..

The car's performance doesn't appear to be neutered though. However I have found myself recently needing to use the paddle shifter for better 1st to 2nd gear shifts to prevent revhang with dynamic traction enabled (PS4S tires)... which I had never needed to do before. I suppose the weather is too cold and cold tire/road traction limitations sort of stop me from doing an apples to apples comparison in that regard. Conspiracy theory: Maybe that's the reason why BMW waited for the winter to release their software in North America. They figured people are babying their cars for the winter and won't notice a change in exhaust and performance. By the time spring/summer arrive with optimal driving conditions, people will have adapted without realizing the car's dynamics are reduced. |

Uh huh. But realize, your observations aren't actual truth. It's just your opinion until you can prove it. Use the right instruments to figure it out and then you can come here and bemoan. I'm not trolling. I'm holding you accountable for what you're incorrectly trying to state as fact. People like you will never be happy with their vehicles and that is the most sad thing about this discussion.

As I said earlier, enjoy the car, drive the car, stop sweating such silly nonsense.

Did the OTA update three days ago. Didn't drive it much until today. It is absolutely a different vehicle in sport plus. Not just the exhaust, but the performance. I'd go as far as to say 85% of what it was previous to the update.
Anyone know if the dealership can revert back to the previous software? Yes, it is that bad. Even with android auto, I would much prefer to have the old characteristics. Last edited by Spec23; 01-23-2021 at 09:07 AM.. |

They say there is no going back but one would think that technically it can be done but likely not due to policy.

I'm genuinely intrigued. I find it highly unlikely that a software update that's technically supposed to be universal affects some cars and not others - a M340i with premium package, for example, is the same for all in a given region so why would a software update affect one car and not another?

If we bought a car, then its characteristics changed by the manufacturer in a way that's not preferred by the owner without the owners' consent, why is the owner not entitled to be upset about it?

Dealers quieting down the pops & bangs is not unique to BMW. Audi is neutering gen 2 R8's as well. So I won't take my R8 in for service, since they will force a software install that will quiet the exhaust sounds.
It is pretty pathetic that the OEM takes control of your car post ownership. I don't understand how they can do this without your consent.
