My car has the lastest DISA part number as per S I B 12 17 05. I don't really notice any hesitation at the noted RPM range; even if I did, how much would it really matter?
    Barry's words ring with me; if it ain't broke..

    The biggest issue for me was that the hesitation in 6th gear was right at 75 to 80 mph, freeway speeds. It was easier to avoid in 3rd, 4th and 5th by just downshifting to avoid 2800 rpm or if I accelerated slower through that rpm range it didn't happen.

    That's what Seth from JBEurotech told me.

    Is there an S.I.B. or any other formal BMW document supporting this contention?

    Not that I've ever seen or heard of. If I had to guess I'd think it's because BMW wants to avoid people coming in and requesting updating to the latest software when they don't necessarily need it. Just a guess though.

    when my indep. place told me about updating DME they also mentioned that one of the reasons they do it is to avoid cars getting some bogus 02 sensor error code....

    Just an update we have not got the o2 fail since we had the update installed. Car has ran better than ever so the update was a positive in my case. I also had the transmission computer updated also and have not recvd another trans fault alert (recvd previously one time ).

    This was the case for me as well.
