Interesting ABS. I was waitinf for someone with a 530D to comment.
I am on about 15 or so and will be having 17.1 loaded when it arrives in 2 weeks time.
I have long been complaining about throttle response, lag etc. I hope I notice as much of a difference as you have.

I also have an 530d and I feel that the car is more responsive in D after installing the version 17.

Streak take a look at this thread

What's strange is that the LED problem seems to occur much more frequently outside US.

Cheers.

Like the most of us in this forum I want the newest, even when it comes to s/w version. So now I have v17. I?m sorry to disapoint you but nothing new happend to my car born november -04. I didn?t have any problems thou except I?m not a fan of the steptronic that is to much non DS in D position.

But I lost my amber led?s
