I've not heard of the procedure solving any gearbox issues, long term. Think about it, BMW techs' would be doing it just to get folks off their backs.

Interesting...
I don't yet have any long term feedback from people that have done this reset... so, i guess i'll be monitoring my car's situation closely to see if the smoothness eventually wears out ... in which case the whole purpose of this reset would be pointless.
Also, I do plan on talking to my dealer about it. I heard that some people did a SW update at the dealer, and never had this problem return.
