Software Version Shown In Car Not Accurate?
There's been lots threads and discussion on SW issues and with potentially related exhaust mutting. My exhaust is as loud as ever even in comfort mode, but it was updated by the dealer (hardwired) in Feb to fix the remote 360 issue, yet this is what it shows in-car as of today? I also did an OTA in Jan shortly after I bought the car. How/why can it still be showing July/2019?

The easy answer is in February the dealer installed 07/2019.55 which was on my late October build 2020 M850i and the exhaust was indeed glorious. When my dealer installed 11/2019.55 in December due to my Connected Drive app connectivity issues (which turned out to be just a SNAFU on BMW's cloud services due to special characters in the password) the exhaust was still glorious. The pain came unexpectedly with my OTA upgrade to 11/2019.70 as it absolutely neutered the exhaust to the point only Sport Plus has any resemblance to the exhaust sound when I took delivery. The key is absolutely do not upgrade!

I would be thoroughly unhappy if they ruined the sonorous sounds my car's exhaust makes even with everything set to comfort. Have you contacted BMWUSA or spoken to your dealer's shop foreman for an explanation/resolution?

As posted elsewhere, there are several states in the US with exhaust sound limits (80 dBA) so my theory is that BMW is addressing that across the board vs the fact here in AZ I just need a working muffler. In other words the lowest common denominator is the answer to avoid dealing with customer issues in the states with the limitations. Just my theory based on a couple of decades dealing in contract law in my career. |
