There is however another way to this ... I stumbled upon a thread at bimmerfest that outlines the steps similar to the above but without the aggressive driving part. So here goes ...1. turn the key to position 22. press the gas pedal fully to the floor. (far as it will go) .... wait 30-45 seconds3. turn off key then start the car and drive.It's basically the same as the previous method, however the adaptation is achieved without driving the car aggressively. The adaptation is achieved at the 2nd step, while depressing the gas pedal for 30-45 seconds. It worked for me ... the throttle and acceleration was noticeably different :top: But just to be sure that i'm not imagining it lol do  post your feedback and results here ... <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />p/s: the steps are for cars with drive by wire and it may work across the previous BMW range i.e. E39, E36, or it may not... so feedback's are welcome <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />p/s2: For E90, E60 or newer BMW the 1st set of instruction may still be applicable so do try and post your findings <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
