After driving now for a few days with v25 installed, I can say that the engine and transmission performance are greatly improved. Keep in mind, though, I had never had a software update - so I'm catching up on 7 or 8 versions worth in one leap.

Gone ... rough idle at cold start
Gone ... strong idle that moves car forward from a stop
Gone ... hestiation when putting the throttle down
Gone ... last moment surge while breaking to a stop

Much improved ... shift points in both D and DS are much more logical, sensible, timely, and practical. This is by far the biggest difference I've noticed so far. The engine and transmission now act like they know each other - and it's a beautiful relationship.

Much improved ... engine responsiveness. My 550i feels like a different car now ... it's finally performing the way it should. There is no hesitiation when you ask for more power, and the transmission does a much better job of being in the right gear at the right time. This is fantastic.

I think from 19.x and above, Liar screen went away automagically w/o pressing Accept buttock. I meant, button.

I am on a more recent version than 19 and the screen does not go away until you press Accept. I believe that this only occurs in the US due to our litigious nature.

Poleposition are you referring to the "Lawyers" screen in the US when you say you don't have to press accept anymore?

I believe it goes away with V 22.xx and higher.
