The answer is I'm not sure. but, from what I read, it didn't sound like a workaround solution. It sounded like a feature built into BMWs.
I guess I'd have to chat about it with my dealer later on when I get a chance.

The above or a similar method has been used for years with cars with the drive by wire throttles. Some swear by it, others find no difference, it typically returns to the sluggish response over time. So some reset each week. I understand it just resets the throttle response to the default values. What many of us don't understand is, why an adaptive throttle 'flakes' rather than get back to good response, even when driven hard.
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.
