My Ride: E90 M3
Model Year: 2011
PROGMAN is the term for the software package the car is running. It is composed of a number of modules that control different aspects of the car. As the programming has been adjusted to fix errors or improve things, new versions are released. They are numbered similar to other computer industry offerings with 26.3 only being a minor change from 23.1 but 24.0 or 25.0 is some major change over 23.0...
