Cool "Hidden" features of the E53 X5

[Estroil 4.8is]

Xx3 Posted this. I hope he doesn't mind but what a great feature .

Simply turn the key to position 2. Hold the accelerator to the click point for 25 seconds. Let go of the accelerator, start the engine and off you go...

The transmission's learning algorithm will be reset to 0. Therefore, it will lose the slow and gentle acceleration that the previous owner used...

Try it, and repost your results I guarantee your experience will be very different...

Ok...I tried this tonight. I "think" it worked, but it may have just been my imagination.

My brakes did feel a lot touchier, though.
