Bm3 versions

So I currently have the stage 1 93 octane version 2.1 installed on my car. Should I get the version 2.2 that was updated December 2021 for my car? Is there a noticeable difference?

PTF lists all the updates from each version, I do not have access to your files, but I recommend reading what they did differently. It'll make the decision easier.

I would currently wait a little for upgrading to the 2.2 version of the tune.
In the 3er forum on this site, alot of attention has been given of the amount of TC intervention (of the lack of). Their tune is the same as ours.

Thanks for sharing this chat... Too late for me tho.. I updated last week. I see no wheel spins.. I am wondering if it is car specific. I don't see wheel spin on the 540

This is really interesting as we've had a bit more rain lately and the car's traction control has. Or been kicking in like it used to.

I didn't think much of it because I was accelerating in a straight line both times.

V2.3 has been released which supposedly stops this issue. Though my traction control is fine with V2.2.
