I've covered why you will feel a difference. That difference is real but not for the reasons you think it is.

Seriously, if throttle adaptation makes the car better for you, just go out and buy one of those throttle pedal gain devices. Racechip XLR or similar. Or adapt your brain to push your foot down more. Either has the exact same effect.
It works for me.

It isn't temporary.

People have been satisfied with the fix for decades.

Whole point of the thread is to allow people to enjoy their car more. And if it really just boils down to the power of placebo, then why ruin the fun?

End of day, I genuinenly don't even care. I still think the reset is worth it, whomever may be reading, present or 5 years from now.

Yeah, why?

This specific post has been shared around thousands of times for the past 15 decades.

Browse through the comments of said posts and you see that the majority of responses are positive.

I've tried it myself, multiple times, was satisfied with the result, decided to share it to other owners that perhaps don't know about it. There's nothing to gain for me except the satisfaction of perhaps giving other forum members something free to try and perhaps even enjoy.

Then comes unicorn riding brexiter with his overwhelming mechanical intelligence and asserts his dominance by spending his afternoon writing a plausibile theory, which don't get me wrong might even be correct, but without any official documentation to prove it, is a theory as good as mine, which isn't really mine, more like that of thousands of people.

Holy Batman! This thread is back! From what I recall reading this a year ago, it was a placebo affect? Has there been any updates? I have not tried this myself...yet

Anyone know if flashing a tune also resets adaptations? I’d imagine it’s a complete overwrite of everything but just curious.

I only use grandpa (efficient)mode when I need to talk on the phone. Otherwise sport or sport plus with the windows down. I don't want the car second guessing my right foot.

We did this in the focus st and RS community as well. You could either unhook the battery for like 15min or like me you could reset it through the Cobb Accessport. I think it worked, haven't done it to the M2C yet tho.

This has to be not true, specially for a manual M2 competition. It must be a placebo effect. No BMW tech has even heard of this and BMW doesn't have it anywhere in official literature.

I'll bite. The most this will do is affect throttle profile. It absolutely shouldn't be affecting boost availability or wastegate behaviour. ie you could just add more throttle with your foot for the same effect. Anywho. Nice little find nonetheless. It's news to me outside of ETS and I might just try it.

I agree, it is highly unlikely to be true. NISFAN is probably correct. Placebo is strong.

This could easily be tested by making a fixture or just sending the appropriate output voltage from the pedal position sensor, whatever type that is (hall effect, potentiometer, encoder, etc.) while sampling the tach data before and after a reset. Would have to be done with the engine warm and in identical conditions. My Mazda 3 throttle actually behaves differently until the engine is warm and cold start is over. Probably a waste of time, though.

Even if it did this, why would people want to work so hard to defeat something that's just going to re-adapt to the same parameters on you?

This is the same kind of myth that has persisted like the myth that junk like the Sprint Booster improves throttle response. Nothing you put in series with the pedal can help, it can only fake it with aggressive tip-in. Maybe in some cars the throttle is so terribly non-linear that you would prefer to change the curve, but that's not throttle response.

I cant say for sure what it does specifically, but its definitely not placebo and it definitely does something

Granted its not a huge difference, it has been a noticeable change in every car Ive done it to

Even on my F80 M3, recently did it because it felt sluggish, now is a lot more reactive

At the end of the day it takes 30 seconds to do, if it works for you great, if it doesnt, nothing lost

Just had my car serviced at dealership and the advisor mentioned the adaptations were reset. Car definitely feels more responsive and pop and burbles are louder too. Auto rev matching on the 6MT seems crisper as well.

Hey everyone. I feel like since yesterday my throttle is not going all the way. If I reset adaptations will it reset my stage 2 tune or no?
