Got to give BMW credit

So yesterday I am driving to work and out of no where this message pops up on my screen (see attachment) ... 2021 M550 owners were not getting the 0-60 times of 3.6 as advertised and it looks like the magazines weren't either and BMW is now doing something about it.

My M550 I find is insanely fast except off the line it is not what it should be, apparently in first gear you are only getting partial turbo boost.

While I did comment on this thread I just wrote it off being I am not out there drag racing people and I rarely ever floor my car off the line, once you hit after 10mph the car is a rocket ship ... It will be interesting to see what this software update will do ...the cool part is they are going to send it over the air ala Tesla so I don't need to bring it in for service.
