ECU Software Recall?

Hi folks,
I took my 05 Z4 3.0i today to the dealership for regular service and inspection and he told me there had been an engine software recall on them that he'll perform as well since I have last been there. I was there last about 6 months ago to perform the steering column recall.

Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone has any more details on that software recall/update and what it's about.

there have been a few issues with pulsating throttle, etc on these cars. I myself had mine reflashed (not under any service bullitin, although bmw did pick up the cost) several months ago because of a pulsating throttle issue i was having. Mine is a 2.5 so there is obviously some differences there, but in my research on my particular problem i came accross a few 3.0's with the same/similar issues.

For Example:

Post something up if you can get any info as to what it corrects. The more that's online the better.

Thanks!
I've never had a problem myself, but I should be picking the car back up in a few hours. I'll see if I can get any information from the service advisor about the specifics.

Turns out it's just an update for compatibility with aftermarket diagnostic equipment.
