My Ride: 535 D - to be delivered end Feb 2005 - color E08 - comfort seats - executive leather balck - 122 wheels - dynamic drive - active steering - pack luxe - tecnology pack - moon roof - 6CD player - hifi system - spare wheel - BT phone
My car was updated last week from 15.?
The gearbow feels softer -> nearly no more jerking while stopping or starting. But when driving hard, the engine is still spinning on some gears and downgearing to easily -> no use of torque. Conclusion better but can be inproved.
Th engine is more silencious: less injector noises from 1500 to 2000 rpm. But accelerations have been reduced. I suspect they reduce the torque a little.
The active stearing feels a little diffrent at low speed -> no very noticable.
The radio do not switch automatically on even if turned off while stopping the engine.
The light sensor still is eratic when starting in the drakness ie in your garage...
Some minor modifications in the I-drive menus + perspective nav (no very usefull)

This was the symptome I had before the update. But I have only driven 1000 km since the update and the autolearning process of the gearbox may lead to that also in my case. Let's keep the fingers crossed...
What about the accelerations?

I too have the latest software. The gear changes are better when driving slowly; it changes gear at 1600 rpm, so very smooth and quiet. But i agree about the torgue converter - if i accelerate hard the tacho spins round, but not so much action (or so it seems). It's now more difficult to make it accelerate hard from very low revs.
I still like the car though

I received 19.2 today and is still disappointed in the radio's RDS. BMW still can not get it right with the radio. My sister has a G35x and the radio and its RDS function works perfectly!
Anyway, I did not buy a 545I for the radio, but for the performance... and in the performance area the 545I is perfect.
Last, I noticed that the car lacks the torque as well.

But, again, downtown the car is bloody quick, way too much if you are not very light with your foot pedal.
