Probably, and so am I ) I think my exhaust note changed with the software upgrade. But I think it got LESS deep and LESS throaty. Who knows?
What could have changed in the software that would be responsible for changning the exhaust note? I know that there's an answer to that question, I'm just not technical enough to guess at it myself.

Whoa jsun! Don't jump to conclusions. My S is just as balky as the next guy's. I can just burn a little rubber along the way.
Dominiicicmicicmicmi: You may well be on the right track. Engine management software was entirely perfected 60 years ago so there's no reason for MINI to keep taking shots in the dark like this. Of course a sensor is easy to diagnose and replace/recalibrate, but there could be some aspect of the engine design or sensor positioning that inhibits consistent readings and they're trying to work around it with complex software algorithms rather than say, replacing 100,000 intake manifolds.

I used to work in electronics for 10 years. Sensor calibration can be the most frustrating part of electro-mechanical system maintenance.

Ahhh! That's something that might take the thinking to the next level. Thanks for the input!
