Hi RAI,

I'm glad to know that the software update fixed your problem. That is exactly the problem I'm complaining for (my car is a 535d) and since an update to cip 17.0 has been already scheduled, possibly I'm half-way to have it fixed!
BTW, i noticed it only in D, since when I put the trans in DS I'm used to push the throttle very hard, so I don't care about high revving!

This has been exactly my case as well. In the (rare) occasion when I've used "DS", I've been on the throttle hard enough that I expect high rpm shift points. Thus, this has been far more of an issue for me in "D" than in "DS". It's great to have this problem fixed now.

That's the silliest thing I've ever heard. If this is the case, the engineers at BMW should all be shot.

I have heard that you can only upgrade software up to 13 times.? Is this correct?? If this is the case, then we will have to be very careful with our choice of upgrades?
