I call you crazy, but I'm crazy too in noticing a difference myself.

Welcome to NAM

How is your cruise control behaving after the reset? Reset the ECU on my R53 over the weekend and definitely notice a difference, mostly positive except for the subtle surging on cruise control above 70 mph. Hoping it works itself out.

right after reset, I got to freeway, reached 90's did not experience anything negative......except after the fact, when turn car on later that afternoon a small surge feeling from the speedo needles was noticeable, it only did it a couple of times now is gone . I haven't use the cruise control.

Give it a try and report back? I've searched all over NAM to no avail. One thread said it "goes away after awhile." We'll see.
