Back to the topic: burbles are unchanged; just as frequent and loud as they were before. |

Most other settings were preserved. Oddly, M2 was preserved but M1 wasn't. : |

I guess you already had Android Auto then (2020 model right)? Very good in all - "damage limited" so to say as coding is the least one can expect to lose. So you confirm what Noushy (also usually precise in his feedbacks) reported thus no changes to exhaust sound. |

For sure. Yes and then again right now with the current DMEs is a tough and risky choice going this path and opting for a flashtune vs. a piggyback. My tuning experiences (via flashtune) have been great in all respects with my previous cars (N54, N55, N63TU engines). I always liked the 100% self-service tuning option without having to fiddle inside the engine compartment (though with the right experience a piggyback can be installed in minutes I know). I was, and still am, in the hope that these newer DMEs will be unlocked "more easily" in the future as was the case for the older units when applying flashtunes via OBD such as the options offered via the MHD and the BM3. |

You're going to have to choose: 1) less power and a piggyback or (2) full unlock and race mode with top speed unlimited ECU, but voided warranty. If you can afford a bmw, you can afford to buy it twice. Also the dealerships near me are extremely difficult to work with. For me, it's a easy solution. Pop the cap, and get the ECU bench unlocked. |

Remember even with piggybacks, BMW can still tell if the engine was operating outside its set parameter at anytime.

Good news. So why some getting neutered and others not?

Thanks, but that "deactivate function" option is not available through my current 03/2020 software. The update has been automatically downloaded, but I have some hope that I may be able to avoid installing it. We shall see.

Based on feedbacks here of those who have updated, it appears the M850i are affected way more and the M8 not at all or only slightly. He has an M850i so in that case the exhaust will most likely get "silenced". For M8 models there seems to be no difference in exhaust sound (after update) except for one forum member (Azlar) in the previously pointed thread reporting he can hear the difference in sound for the worse. Unless I have missed other M8 owners who complained I cannot recall any except the mentioned one. But with the M850i I think we can pretty much "safely" say it will be affected and after updating, the loud pops and bangs, burbles and so on very present and alive in comfort mode with the 2019.XX software levels will be, are a thing of the past. Now as for the reason why BMW is targeting the M850ies rather than the M8s, could be that an M car is SUPPOSED to pop and bag and be "loud" out of the box whereas you would expect that way less from an M850i or hardly and certainly not in comfort mode. Just my take on why this distinction is being made.

Shorter version: After investing considerable angst and energy in resolving previous BMW software bugs, my car ain’t broken so I see no reason to fix it. RJC: So far, I have been successful in “postponing” installation of the update that was automatically downloaded. I’ll update as developments develop (or, preferably for me, don’t develop).
