[/quote]According to my SA, Stevens Creek BMW is still installing 16.2 but he indicated that 17 was on the way any day soon. I'm scheduled in next week so hopefully they'll have V17 by then as one of my issues is the occasional transmission slam.

[/quote]Quick update for those in the Bay Area - Stevens Creek is now installing 17.1
Mine went in today for door seals, throttle lag and rough idle and they are updating to 17.1 (plus changing the valve clearances for the rough idle). Very impressed with the service manager - he was all over the issues I had.
By the way, there was a beautiful debadged silver gray E60 in shortly after me with HUGE PIAA wheels and a decent level of window tint - that's GOT to belong to someone on here !!! Anyone??

Please let us know if the 17.1 fixes the problems (including the slamming!)

Went in to BMW of San Diego the other day to talk to them about it...they don't really know much about it. They said they've heard of it a few times, but they were kinda confused as to what I was talking about. Anyone else in the San Diego area w/ the issue that knows someone at BMW San Diego to talk to about the issue?
