M340i Power Loss
There was a post about a recall being done to meet environmental requirements. Environmental adjustments I would think usually equate to a negative effect on vehicle performance.
Two questions - I believe the posters who got a notification about this were Canada based. Has anyone in the US received an environmental recall notice? And for anyone who has had this recall performed, did you notice a performance hit after it was done? |

You can read more about it, along with their custom tune here: https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1638864 It sounds like the recall is related to fixing the horsepower down to the 338whp and probably in some way also has to do with emissions.

I'll be factory ordering, so I guess I'll get what I get. The lousy part is that I've test driven a couple M340i's and since I don't know what versions are on the cars I've tested, no way to know if the performance feel on them will be the same as what I get from a factory order - which will come with the 'dumbed down' firmware. (I assume firmware will be latest version from the factory.)

Or it could just be a tuning company spouting BS to sell their products.
Of course, it could also be BMW just wanting to get fantastic initial review models out there and then dumb them down to get them back into warranty/service specs. I wouldn't get out the pitchforks just yet. Everyone gets used to lots of power immediately no matter what kind of car it is. It's easy to take advantage of that tendency to convince people their car is slower than it used to be. |
