I fired up PA Soft for the first time today to have a look at my DME software version. I had some misfire issues a few months back and jfoj recommended a reflash based on how my advance and fuel trims were behaving. Behavior seemed to improve but my issues are clearly not resolved; maybe they just cleared out some crappy adaptations that had built up?
I paid an indie shop (bmw only) but they seemed a little mystified by my request for a reflash, and when I picked it up they charged me $149 and claimed that the software didn't have no version number but they had upgraded me to what was most def the latest and greatest...
My first PA soft log seems to tell a different story. No update from the original version, and not the 7561520 that I've seen recommended in these forums. Here's the excerpt from the log:

which seems to show version 7562335 originally installed March 7 2006, left unchanged in the only other record on September 18 of this year. Am I reading that correctly? Is my current version 7562335? And should I have version 7561520 instead? It's a 2006 330 cic ZHP 6 speed. It seems strange that a newer version would have a lower version number.
Can't wait to explore PA Soft some more...
