I've definitely noticed this on the M2c and my Audi as well. If you drive like a little old lady, they'll start to respond that way. Slower, earlier shifts (the Audi ZF8), general lack of responsiveness (both), feeling boost lag-ish (M2c).
A few hard blasts tends to "reset" things a bit, but in the M2 case, an actual adaptation reset results in a lot edgier, aggressive feel and sound for a while that I really like
