1) Contact my local dealer and set up an appointment to get it updated. This will cost me money.
2) Since there's 12 months of full BMW warranty on it, if I have a suitable set of problems to justify an update done under warranty, then I can get it done for free.
Needless to say, I'm aiming for option 2. So my question is, what are some well known issues that are fixed with later software updates - ones that I can use to justify getting an update done from the dealer?

If your car has never received DME or DCT software updates your best bet is to complain about DCT lag and engagement issues - there's a relatively new DCT software update that's required and when DCT is being updated all other modules, including the DME, will get updated and this should cost you absolutely nothing because your car is still under warranty.
