How to reset the adaptive transmission
Anyone know how to reset the adaptive transmission? I’m getting a relatively rough downshift and was hoping the adaptive transmission reset improved this rough downshift. I’ve read through the forum about other bmws and holding down the gas pedal past the point of resistance for 30 secs but I’m not sure if that did anything

You're correct...that doesn't do anything...other than indicate that there's a possible aggressive driver behind the wheel...so any thing engineered to accommodate an aggressive driver will be initiated until that behavior ceases or the engine is turned off.
That procedure is one of the biggest misinformed pieces of crap posted on BMW forums that seems to never die. If you do have adaptive transmission programing...turning on the ignition (or ready state in the new F & G series)...then you press & hold the accelerator pedal past the kick-down point...you are imitating an aggressive driver (flooring the pedal)...so the system/control modules will interpret that accordingly and initiate transmission shifting for that type of individual behavior.

How do you activate diagnostic mode? Mine goes into that mode when I start up Bimmercode but I don't know how to do it manually.

That was NOT the case in the past, but appears to be the case now. I am on iOS Bimmercode 3.5. Considering that users probably often forgot to be in Diagnostic Mode, it is an important feature that Bimmercode was able to add. Cool. Apologies for misinformation, but that's the reality of software-updatable systems — they can change behaviour.
