2008 730D; Black Sapphire; Cream Beige Leather; plenty of options!
I concur with the positive comments; to-date my 530D has shown improvements in transmission performance - one of the key reasons for the update was to cure transmission slam and jerky 1-2 changes. Pro nav changes welcomed too.
That said I've had the update for a number of weeks now and the iDrive has now begun to fail to boot up occasionally (never a problem prior to update) - wait a few minutes, try again and all is OK; anyone else experienced this problem?

I did the upgrade this past week. WOW, I do like it. Everyone is pretty much on target with this new upgrade, ON TARGET.
BUT! How many are having issues with their CD slot loader? I can place a disk in, but getting out is a fight. The CD comes out a little less than half-way and I have to pull HARD to get it out. I've pushed the button to push it back in.. but it moves a quarter of an inch, if that. So, it basically sticks where it is when I hit the eject button.
Other than this, I'm really happy with the upgrade.

Has anyone had v25.0x loaded to a 520d, and if so did it improve the throttle response between 1600 and 2200 revs? This was a rumoured improvement to be made in March 2007. Despite have been fettled by the dealer and a new Turbo and Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve fitted I still have the problem on a regular basis, in fact it still happens as soon as the engine is warm and does it all the time.

I have a 520D with CIP 25. But its a manual so is this question relevant?
