I only drove it a few miles home so far and can confirm that it will rev-match multiple gear downshifts at various speeds. Have not tried highway speeds but on city streets it seems to match as it did prior to Sept 2017 software update. I suggest exporting your driver settings before dropping of your car for service since they did not backup and re-install those for me. I had mine on a thumb drive and imported them before leaving the dealership. I won't gripe about that...very minor issue in the grand scheme. |

On iDrive menu, select My Vehicle>Driver Profiles>select a profile>export to usb. Use the center console USB drive port. Takes about 15 seconds for each profile, so you will need to do each separately. I have only one but there could be max of 3, I think. If the profile exists on the drive, as mine did, it will ask if you want to overwrite. To import, do the same except select the import profile.

I did try to recode the blinker but my latest version of Carly for BMW doesn't recognize the software version tied to the FEM so it was a no go. Will see if Bimmercode will work.

I finally scheduled to get my summer tires installed, and they're going to apply this update at that time (I had to ask them to check the status of the PUMA case, which had been auto-closed due to no updates in a while... but they gave me the same info as above).
So, after Friday I'll finally have my rev matching back. |

Update:
Got reflashed yesterday/today. Rev matching is definitely 'better'. Not as good as when I bought the car, but being able to skip a gear is an amazing upgrade/fix. What it doesn't do anymore: If you're coasting in neutral, and then push in the clutch and shift into gear.. it does not rev match. Originally it did. |

I was out of town for a week right after getting it back, so I haven't had a chance to fix my coding yet. I have an appt this coming Friday to finish a diag on something else and finish my maintenance, so I'll mention the lack of rev matching from neutral to them. |

I brought my 340i in for the yearly dealer service a few days ago, and my rev-match is working like it did before. I've gone 6 > 4, 5 > 3, and it rev matches just fine.
They must have updated the software because my iDrive has some things I didn't see before, like a screensaver, etc. Charles

So Very Frustrating!!!
I was so very excited to hear that folks were getting reasonable rev-match functionality returned (6th -> 4th to pass on the highway for example), but in talking with my dealer's service department - i'm getting the royal run around. I hope to meet with the Shop Foreman in person tomorrow morning, but that hasn't gotten me far in the past.
Can anyone tell me how to properly refer to the Software Update that you have received to restore the rev-match functionality and maybe how I can determine what version I currently have loaded on my 2017 440i XDrive? I'm afraid that I just don't know the correct terminology to speak intelligently with the service department. Ha!, that's funny - like talking intelligently to the dealership will get me anywhere |

Applying a software update to fix a specific complaint is a standard covered service if you're under warranty. They just need to get the OK to do so from corporate. All they have to do is flash your car. When they update the firmware, it updates ALL control units to the current release, which includes this fix. |

...see what happens.
Thanks for the info. I'll see what happens when I relay that information to the Shop Forman in the morning. I'll keep my fingers crossed, but it sounds a bit like it will be down the road if I need to wait for BMW Corporate to green-light it.

We've got this problem on our recently purchased '17 340i xDrive, built in May of '17. With this talk of needing a PUMA case, I take it there isn't a SIB mentioning this issue (yet?)?
Honestly, I wish they would have included a button, or lacking that an iDrive setting to toggle the functionality as a whole. |

They reported the diagnostic results to corporate, corporate said it would be fixed by an update. They applied the update. Malfunction/CEL was gone, but so was rev matching more than 1 gear. So, without a specific TSB/etc listing 'for this complaint, apply this fix', they certainly would escalate to corporate. |

Good News...
It took some convincing and lots of email to anyone I could find an email address for, but I finally convinced my local dealer to apply the latest update to my 2017 440i XDrive. From my end, I didn't need to request they initiate a PUMA case or anything. That may have happened on the backside, but I didn't have to force it from my end.
The storyline kinda went like this: BMW Corporate was not providing much information regarding the content of the latest software/firmware update, unlike it had for previous releases. My vehicle was also not listed as being directly affected by the update. If I were a service technician and all that were true; I might hesitate before turning someone's sweet ride into a very heavy brick - even if it was a very nice shiny black brick. As a complete aside and as a bit of a conspiracy theory - this wouldn't have anything to do with the raids by German Police on BMW's Munich Headquarters in March? Would it? I've certainly never "heard of" a software engineer sneaking an update into a release to fix something that should have never been there in the first place - things that make you go: hmmmmm. Anyway, with all unfair and unfounded speculation aside... and with the latest update successfully installed in my car, I can now shift from 5th down into 3rd and Automatic Rev-Matching works as I believe it should. Still does not disable in Sport+ mode, but maybe I can get my coder to help there - he needs to re-code all my previous settings anyway All in all, I'm very excited and had a fun ride home - don't tell the wife. Full disclosure, when I purchased my car, it did not automatically Rev-Match for a 2 gear downshift. As such - I imagine that I was no where near as p!$$ed off as folks who actually had and lost the functionality - I feel for y'all, I really do. I'm not sure the old ticker would have held up as I calmly explained my concern to a service advisor. I really didn't care so much if the car did or didn't automatically Rev-Match; it just shouldn't do it sometimes. I feel this created a dangerous situation. When something stupid happens right in front of me, I drop into 3rd to get away from the situation, and I buck (or God forbid stall) the car because where it would normally automatically Rev-Match for me (like it or not), it suddenly decided not to when I needed to Rev-Match the most. The car spent a great deal of time teaching me how it wanted to be driven and now changed the rules on me. As a bonus (and I'm not sure it was really related) my ConnectedDrive now lets me Lock/Unlock the car, Beep the Horn, Flash the Lights, and turn on the Ventilation from the ConnectedDrive app on my phone - WhoHoo! That's been bugging me for 7 months and countless calls/visits/emails. Man I'm a PITA. Well, I'm declaring victory and moving on |
