This works on all modern BMW's it worked on my E39.

It resets the gearbox learning algorithm.

How about the people who have 545i with 6MT?

I know that shifting will not affect but will it help Accelerator lag?

Please let me know.

Throttle and Gearbox Reset
I did the tranny reset a week or two ago and I can vouch for it working.

I just read the "throttle reset" part of the thread (not the tranny reset). These are the steps outlined:

Accelerator pedal reset:
Turn ignition on to position 2 for 10 seconds
Turn ignition off for 10 seconds
Turn ignition back on and start the car
Throttle is reset

what exactly does this do in terms of feel or performance (more responsive throttle?)?
