Thank you - that was extremely helpful. Mine is built in 5/2008 and has the 29.2. I never thought I'd ever regret getting a BMW, even my old 318i was more responsive then this 335ci. Big big big disappointment ... :-(

Thanks for your answer!
Did the people in Germany get the same update to fix the wastegate rattle? Or just the people in the US? because I cant find any complains in this forum about the engine lag after the program update in Germany.
Danke!
You will find a discussion in another BMW forum here: http://www.auto-treff.com/bmw/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=214739
The reasons for less discussion going on here are these:
1. There are much less 335i sold in Germany than are in the U.S. Over there, you only have two models, namely 328i and 335i. Here, the most common model is the 320d. 335i make only ~2% of all cars sold, as far as I know.
2. Shops in the U.S. do more software updates in general. In Germany, an update is only performed if there is a (voluntary) recall or a definitive reason for it. I have heard that the turbo-lag problem is limited to older, updated cars and does not apply to cars that were delivered with Progman >= v29.2 in the first place. I know that some people with cars built after 3/08 with MSD81 have complained about lag, but maybe they have a different problem. I cannot tell more yet, but I know that this is being scrutinized right now. So, it boils down to 2% of the whole BMW E9x population, of those only that were built before 3/08 and of those, only cars that have been upgraded after 3/08 - which is seldom done unless there are good reasons. I guess the affected fraction of the current E9x population is 3/1000 and then, the driver must still feel the difference, which is much less with Progman v31.1 than it was with v29.2.
