Are any SW updates for M235i available

Today I had a lengthy discussion with a racing shop that is going to be working on my car. During the discussion we got into the electronic steering and the consultant suggested that I ask my SA if there are any updates specifically for EPS. In doing my own research I found the following info. Has anyone received or been informed of updates available for our cars?

Issue 15-06
Type Information
Date 21.04.2015
Subject Software Update for ABS and EPS

Dear Racepartner,
The new Software for ABS and EPS is available.
We have following improvements:
- Optimized steering settings to improve car and steering response for driver.
- Optimized ABS settings to improve brake performance.
- Optimized DSC und ASC settings to improve drivability at "DSC" and "Traction" mode
(reduced power reduction and brake impact over curb and bumps)
Your M235i Racing can only be updated by BMW Motorsport.
Please note that the update of the car takes about one hour.
You can choose between the following options to update the car:
- Update VLN2-2015: Thursday 23th April 2015, Friday 24th April 2015
- Update Belgian Cup: Friday 08th May 2015
- Update at BMW Motorsport: Arrange an appointment
- Update at BMW Niederlassung, Germany: Arrange an appointment with BMW
Motorsport
Please arrange as soon as possible an appointment for VLN2.

That looks to be an update for the BMW M235i Racing, not the M235i available for the general public.

The M235i Racing has it's own programming for traction control, ABS, & steering.. among other things.
