Software Version 37 is out

[Tom D]

I just spoke with MINI USA Customer Service about Version 37. I specifically wanted to know if Version 37 was issued to address the yo-yo problem experienced by many "S" owners. MINI told me that Version 37 IS NOT meant to fix the yo-yo. They said that a yo-yo fix is being actively persued and should be available "soon"

Hindsight is 20-20, I forgot to ask what Version 37 is really for, does anyone know?

I have 37, and it doesn't fix the yo yo

Hi

I had V37 loaded yesterday, the tech showed me a sheet which said it was to eliminate poor acceleration between 3,000 and 4,500 rpm i.e. the yo-yo.

My stumble has gone but the yo-yo is MUCH WORSE, I would rather have kept the stumble.

wait so it says its suppose to elimate the yo yo but it made it worse?? OH NO!!! I better MAKE sure they dont put in V.37 when i got into the dealer for a check up... cuz i dont want any yo yo problems... who knows... they might think they'll do me a favor by installing new software on it w/out letting me know...

I wouldn't say it's any worse for me. Much the same really - an occasional annoyance

What car's will have v37? Mine has been built this month. Will it include it?

[Windshadow]

I was told I have 37 but if that was as built or done by my dealer at prep I do not know
no sign of the yo yo and I have been looking for it
fingers crossed

I am sure that it must be a mechanical fault, if it was software then why would only some do it. All cars with V37 should be equal software wise.

I am glad you have not got it enjoy your car.

I've got the stumble but no Yo Yo. It does my nut.

If you have no yo-yo you may be ok with V37 as it does cure the stumble. V37 did not cause my yo-yo it just made it much worse than before.

i just had v37 installed today.. and it seems i still got some yoyo, but much less than before.. when i was running the software that came with the car.. dont know what version (mine was a oct 02 build).. the best i had so far about the v37 is the first gear yoyo.. which before was absolutely horrendous... but now its almost smooth.. still not perfect

stumbling is not so bad anymore...

[xnetco]

Damn it! When will they fix this damn problem?

If you live in the US and have yoyo and don't like it - I suggest you Lemon Law it.

I just did mine and was awarded a refund.

The Florida Lemon Law Board took the car for a drive and deemed the yoyo to be a substantial impairment to the value of the car.

Good for you, more people like you will hopefully make BMW/MINI get their finger out.

My MCS is in the dealer at the moment, they have assured me they will fix the yo-yo by next Tuesday or I will get a refund / replacement. V37 made my slight yo-yo unbearable.

Glad to see you got a good resolution to that.
