New software fixed issues with older cars
Interesting to read this for the pre-LCI M3's.
Although, would I be correct in saying that LCI's and CP's have changed dampers too? http://forums.m3cutters.co.uk/showthread.php?t=151683

LCI gets CP rear dampers IIRC, the CP gets dampers/springs (front and rear) roll bars, bushings and software changes for the diff and TC IIRC.

Interestingly, a guy on cutters has had both CP and non-CP exhausts in pieces and said the hardware is exactly the same. Just the tips different.
So sounds like only a software change is needed to get the CP exhaust sound. Pretty much how he describes in that thread.

My exhaust has lots of cracks and blares coming off and off the throttle, it appears that the LCI cars make more noise than the earlier ones.

I have my second service scheduled in May, I am going to ask the dealer if they will install the LCI software as I have a 15MY. I know they are going to say no because the Dutch are so freakin' cheap, anything extra that you don't pay for is always no.

Has anyone else had this new software installed and if so, have you noticed any changes in the way the car performs?
Thanks

Now that is interesting about the exhaust. Would be interested to know if they updated the software while replacing the exhaust.

I have stated that I am not overly keen on my car for multiple reasons but this software update could potentially deal with a few of them. I will be off to Sytner later, thank you very much |
