I had my car updated with 29.1.1 version few days ago,
and noticed that bi-xenon high-beam flash-to-pass was reacting "slower" than before.
Before when I pulled the headlamp flasher, high-beam flash came on and off instantly.
However, now, however quick I pull and release the lever, the high-beam flash fully stays on for 0.5 seconds.
This means that if I pull the lever really quickly 2~3 times to signal the car in front of me,
the high-beam doesn't flash 2~3 times, instead it just becomes one continuous high-beam.
If I wanted to flash 2~3 times, I would have to give slight time interval between pulling the lever.
I figure this is rather an improvement because xenon lights take slight time to become bright (unlike traditional headlamps),
and if it came on and off instantly in correlation with my lever pulling, it won't have the time to become fully on,
and won't be able to effectively signal the car front of me.
Hmmm... what do you reckon?

Noticed any other obvious difference??.

Yes I had the same thing in my 520d E60 after this update. Do you know what else it includes?

before when I started my car in an underground parking lot and came out to sunlight, xenon light stayed on for a while - this has been fixed.
One other thing I noticed is that the base idle rpm is slightly higher; maybe around 30~50rpm higher..?
this has somewhat improved idle vibration a bit, which has been a problem to many e60s.
