TaMbALoLoNg is an unknown quantity at this point
I will definitely mention the software updates for the tranny to my SA. How long did you have to leave your X with the dealer for them to complete the service?

No long. Dropped it off at 8 am. Got a call at 2:30 said it was ready -- along with oil change and brake fluied flush.

Drove to work today -- if I had to guess, the software update changed the throttle response for when you're "tapping" on the paddle. It probably refined the increments of how much gas to give when driving gently -- for instance as if the the injector is capable of given smaller increments of gas versus before. I thought I also notice the mpg needle doesn't swing so violently. I plan to see if my gas mileage improves. Sorry I am not a mechanic. Whatever I just described may be totally off base.
