1.) My idrive responsiveness is slow and once in a blue moon, freezes for a while and then resumes. It doesn't do it often and just happens. 2.) my Bluetooth takes a long time to connect to my iPhone. When I need to make a call, I have to sit and wait for connections. 3.) my door locks keeps locking and unlocking when I spray the car with water while washing it. 4.) it seems to run really rich, sometimes I smell more exhaust fumes than usual. The end result was 231E. Prior to this update, I made my case to another SA who claimed my car does not meet the criteria for an update based on its production date (BS). There was something about her that wax phony and she lied about my car being in the service area... little stuff... So I schedule a subsequent apt and got a good (in so many ways) SA. Anyway, I bet you've experienced some of the aforementioned issues. |

2008 M3 updated:
Old: E89X-08-03-540 New: E89X-12-03-502 1.) Throttle response feels more linear and better. 2.) brakes seems to grab better 3.) exhaust on idle sounds deeper 4.) better gas mileage. I expected to be down a quarter plus some of a tank but was shocked to find it about an 1/8 less. I was really shocked because I did lots of city driving and hard launches. That what I've noticed. |

Thanks to the OP as I just updated my 2008 e90 6MT to 46.6. I've never had an update and the initial software was from 12/2007. I can feel more torque from 3-5k. The car definitely runs smoother which isn't all good since I love to back off the throttle to hear backfire and burbles. I can't get it to do this now. The dealer charged 1.5 hours of labor. So far I'm very happy with this mod. I will report back after a few hundred miles.

I went in to BMW stevens creek and asked about the update and my service advisor got his tech guy and he told me there is no such thing 213E...said it is always a 6 digit number and it is 2.44.xx.x or something like that he could not remember it all.

That is correct. The dealers won't know it that way.

My Brake Vacuum Sensor hose went out immediately after I loaded 231E. First drive limp mode, didn't get five miles. Had to put it back to stock & go to the dealer who originally thought it was the 140E software & updated it to 231E. That didn't work so they ran diagnostics to figure out the problem.

If your dealer is unwilling to update, any autologic-equipped facility in your area would be happy to ID and update for you.

That's just a simple pressure sensor that is reading the vacuum that the brake booster sees. It's not related to the ABS pump you hear building brake fluid pressure shortly after start up.

Was a brake service performed? this is common by overfilling the reservoir, spilling brake fluid onto the sensor. To clarify, this has nothing to do with 231E.

Seems like the dealer is going to "update" my car (apr 2008 production) that as far as i know has never had an update. had to push for it and my service writer is the man.
will report back. i'm a little nervous because from what i know...often the original tunes are usually the most aggressive. not the other way around. the original mini couper S's with the sc's were like this. The second gen mini S (with turbo) were like this as well...and the maserati coupes from 2002/03 were known as being much faster from the factory than the 04/05/06 counterparts. Rolling the dice...i've got a sensitive butt dyno...will let you know |
