 Friends told me the 720s lost some of its power after the filter update

Can you elaborate on this "filter update" ?

Mostly the particle filter that is now mandatory. Maybe some other software adjustments to cope with the new emission standards, but that I am not sure of Smiley

Mmm never heard of that.... my service manager did an ECU update last year and said he had been given the update from his contacts at the factory and it should be quicker in the lower gears Smiley

I would have thought this is probably BS but I didn't call him out as he's a good lad, probably just a bit giddy Smiley

There is a good video by the Drag Times guy Brooks who data logs boost in the different gears on his 720S and it seems that the lower gears get less boost by design for traction, this is really apparent whilst driving as the acceleration gets more savage after every change hence the 0-300 in as low as 18.6s,
