I have my M2 button programmed to be S+, sport sport, DSC off.
Previously if i did the combo of Ignition on -> dbl press M2 right when i jump in the car, and before i start the engine the instrument cluster will reboot almost every time.

I also noticed on my new 20 x3m that the transmission downshifting seems much more laggy compared to my previous 18 X3 M40i even in sport modes. And then in sport modes it forgets to upshift one you're cruising. Wonder if this istep fixes these. |

Would a 2021 X3 M comp currently being built already have this upgraded as standard... ? Or is this iDrive 6 specific... ?
With the amount of money we pay for these nice machines, we shouldn't have to ask for this stuff huh. Wouldn't you agree...

I never did an intermediary step with newer 2020 firmware ( would be installed on 2021s built early this year and last year ) but I suspect 2021s will get most if not all of the improvements i mentioned.

I had this update done remotely by one of the more prominent coders (Henwee on IG). Took about an hour start to finish and cost about $180. I did full screen CarPlay separately myself. I have noticed incremental improvements similar to those OP described, but I can't say they have been as substantial in my eyes. Given the low cost, I'd still say it was worthwhile. Keep in mind if you're coded, you'll have to recode. My BM3 flash was unaffected.
I'd be hesitant to have the dealer do it if you're concerned about preserving OBD unlock capabilities unless you have a good relationship with your SA. I expect they will simultaneously update DME software (if you have an update) which means no more flashy flash.

Asked my SA to run my VIN to see if I qualify for this 9/2019 build. No dice, he said no software updates show up for mine outside a navigation maps update. Bummer...

I think you may be confusing how it works. The June 2020 encryption change for the Bosch ECU can not be unlocked. The ECU's prior to this do not get the updated encrypted boot loaders, they're just locked. Someone else can then unlock them again which means you have to go to a tuner or ship out your ECU. If a dealer update locked the ECU when it was originally unlocked then it can be unlocked again.

Had my winters swapped out today. Inquired about this, and they said there’s no software update and that I need to talk to BMW Genius in sales.
I also tried the phone route, and they said the tech connected no problem. Candidly I have no idea about how BMW pushes out their software so I didn’t press further. |

Suspension improvement appeals to me!
Lane keep assist and ACC improvements would be welcome, as well as ability to code full screen CarPlay. |

Interesting to see about this software update including a fix for the transmission jerking right after starting to go back in reverse. I took my car in for this to the dealer a few months back, and they told me it was normal for an M car. Might be worth a phone call again.
