Guys. This is an old wives tale that has been around since the early 2000's. It does nothing.
The best way to do this is simply to take the car out and do some hard pulls. This is why it is called adaptations. My car is a DD. Every time I drive it, as soon as it reaches temp, I do some WOT. Driving around like a granny is what makes it go soft. |

Definitely not a myth. Noticeable difference after doing it, but everyone has their own opinion.

BMW OEM Diagnostics/Coding software (ISTAT) has the option to reset throttle adaptions. It's not something made-up, it's actually a part of the software. "Taking car out and doing some hard pulls" = No shit, you're forcing the adaptions to reconfigure The guide I posted just resets it for you without the need to drive hard for a bit As per my experience, it is mode dependent, Stock/M1/M2 are all individual profiles. Some people only use Sport+ when they drive hard so switching to that mode at any time will provide the same fast result. It's only really noticeable if you DD your car, often switch through all the modes, and get stuck in traffic a lot. Obviously you can retain the quick responsiveness even while DD but that involves a shit load of WOT pulls with traffic around, which you know, is mostly unnecessary, dangerous and dumb (and you only really realize this when you knuckle your car into a pole).

I tried this... didn’t notice a difference.
I probably drive spiritedly enough, at times, to keep software from automatically softening the throttle response. Use it or lose it, right. |

I did a complete ECU adaptions reset using ISTA+ for the new year..
The car powered down and up again, similar to a Windows OS booting-up. Drove around for awhile and noticed absolutely no difference in performance or economy, prior to the reset. I've come to the conclusion that If you're not replacing a defective past or clearing a permanent stored fault, the adaption reset doesn't make any discernible difference. |

I think the main difference with resetting adaptations is with how the DCT shifts. If you drive with an egg under your foot the car will learn to shift into a higher gear quicker. I doubt there's much difference with a stick.

Lol is this a flat earth community or something. Instead of trusting some random dude posting some rubbish they believe. Do the actual research for yourself. Call up BMW in Germany then and find out if there is throttle adaptions that you can reset this way. You will find out it doesn't and you cant. It's like the people who think that after running in service at 1200 miles the cars considerable faster due to them unlocking something. Lol no you have just driven it faster now.

And yet, I'm gonna keep doing it and telling myself that my throttle has now been adjusted and is more responsive!!! Come on, man, we all need some delusions in life to get us through the day. I mean, think about all the things you used to believe in and got taken away from you: 1) Santa Claus, 2) Easter Bunny, 3) work hard and you'll succeed, 4) your wife really loves you... Just let me keep this one little delusion! It ain't hurting anyone! |

If proof comes back from someone calling BMW AG and showing otherwise, so be it. I'll eat my words and chalk it up to placebo effect while denouncing my Atheism. Until then...here's to more linear power and less turbo lag!
