More Power from dealer.
MORE POWER?! Picked my car up from break-in service today @ Hendrick BMW Charleston. Service Advisor tells me I should notice more power now... b/c the tech makes update to ECU after this service. Factory de-tunes car for use during first 1200 miles. WTF?

It's not true, however on a positive note launch control is now activated if you have DCT. No increase in power unfortunately but it will feel like it since you haven't been above 5,500 rpms yet.

I just got car back from 1200 mile service and my SA told me all they do is change the fluids. They do not activate launch control or anything else, (other than routine inspection.

The dealer activates it at the 1200 miles service for DCT M cars. I have seen the process myself when I had my service done. When the car is hooked up to BMW's diagnostic system the tech selects launch control to activate it.

I apologize he's correct it's activated by the 1200 mile service being stored as completed and BMW even has a note that the 1200 mile service reset must be done with ISTA so it activates the launch control.
