330e BMW software update

Had 2 software updates to my 330e lately. I noticed with the update, if I select echo pro mode the graphics no longer change to a different graphic appearance. The only thing that changes is the addition of eco pro wording on the lower right LCD panel.
Anyone have their software updated notice this?
With the update, the engine no longer cuts in when the batteries reach 15% it will now go as far as 5% on batteries before cutting in.

I dont have an 'e', but there is a setting in the IDrive menu to change the Eco-Pro layout on your dash panel (it goes from a accelerator slider thing back to an MPG gauge). Maybe its just that setting that has reverted?

I had a software update recently done but hadn't noticed that, though I never use eco pro, so not surprising.

What we have noticed is that our battery range has improved quite substantially, which has meant our average has gone back towards 50mpg.

I never noticed that setting. Is it in the iDrive eco pro settings?

I stand corrected on the dash graphic. Is seems the eco pro graphic changes at night, maybe to reduce brightness...

I recently bought a 330e F30, how do I find out what firmware I'm currently on and what version did you get on your updates?

From the drivers guide:

Displaying installed software version

The software version installed in the vehicle is displayed Via iDrive:
1. "My Vehicle"
2. "iDrive settings"
3. "Software update"
4. "Show current version"
If an update has already been applied, select the desired version to show additional information.
