So this "reset" function excludes manual transmissions, correct ?

However, at least on my M5, there was a SMG reset feature, by holding both paddles forward for 2-3 seconds, while in neutral going between 20-70 mph.

guess that's cause I see you all over this forum

OK, just went out to my car and did the reset, then drove it around the block. It seemed to eliminate the jerking at takeoff, however... I still notice a slight lag, but then faster acceleration after the lag. I actually hit redline in DS mode 
. Never did that before. I guess I need a little more time with it before I can give a fair assessment. Thanks Puck for the reset suggestion 
, that seems to have eliminating the "jerking" at takeoff. Stay tuned for more detailed updates

Stay tuned for more detailed updates I was also disappointed with the lag and sluggishness of my CPO 545 Step when I got it. After doing SB and 25 second reset it literally became a new car....immediate response, double downshifts, etc. Probably too jumpy for some but I like it.
