brand new C400X - stalls

Well now we know that our scooter was designed with an imperfect engine. We know that all the faults are real and not perceived !
BMW just released the new 2021 model with major mechanical modifications! Basically admitting all the defects !
new throttle new throttle body, air box, sensor on alternator, engine management to mention a few 🤷🏼‍♂️🙈
 
My C400 started stalling sometimes as it shifted into neutral as I came to a stop. I thought it might be fuel related even though I was filling up most times at the same well known gas station. I did some Google searches and determined that Chevron is the best gas out there so I switched and the problem resolved within 2 to 3 tanks. I also use Exxon now with good results.
 
Eventually the stalling problem was resolved with a software update. Problem well known to BMW. We in Italy don’t have chevron ir exon. Its a idle engine design which was faulty and was mitigated with a software update.
The new engine has a different idling system, based on a turbulent bypass and not an air valve. In fact bmw eventually swopped my model with a new eu5 model. Miles better 👌

Can you confirm that the software fix is still working? May I know the software version that had the fix?
