Software Update 7/2020

I completed the software update 7/2020 and I am not happy! The exhust sound is much more subduded. No more cracks or burbles, it sounds like a 2021. So disappionted in BMW! The power is the same, no change there. I'm sure there will be (anther) class action lawsuit and I am gling to sign up. I generaly dont like to tune or buy an aftermarket exhust and that is why I loved the M340. It truely was a duel purpose car, refined when you wanted it to be and a total hooligan on the weekends.

There's no change.

These are people who have nothing better to obsess over.

I suggest getting a more productive hobby.

Any US owners with a 2020 m340i receive the update over the air yet? Every time i check in the car it says no update available. Nothing on Connected Drive phone app either which has also been beyond worthless the last 6 months since the March update.

I am wondering if this is connected to milage...
So I hit 19,000 miles and even my wife noticed the car is much quieter.

how many miles do you have on your cars?

OP what version did you get updated from? A lot of people, myself included, noticed a change in pops and burbles updating but that was supposedly in 11/2019 or 3/2020.

When I updated from 7/2019 to 3/2020 I noticed a slight change in sound but when I updated from 3/2020 to 7/2020 I didn't hear any additional change.

Mine is a march/2020 build, updated when I picked it up on september. the burbles are loud and clear on mind, and happens often.
