so i got a bmw 328i 2008 a couple weeks back and at stops there is a pause to get moving! so i searched and i found ouyt i need to get my throttle reset. I will get it done by bmw next weekend but is there a way to do it myself that works? ive heard of the "press down gas pedel" method. does it work? does it Damage car? and how do i do it?

i found two methods:
You put your key in/hit start ONCE so the electronics of the car come on but it is not started.

Then hold down the gas, past the downshift point to the floor for 25-30 seconds straight.

If you listen, at about 25s exactly you will hear some "noise" and that is the tranny "resetting" itself to factor specs







&

1. Get in your car, it doesn't matter if you close the door or not.
2. Turn the key to the on (not start) position, the position just before the starter turns over. BMW: press start button – foot off brake - all idiot lights on.
3. Press the gas pedal to the floor with the key in the "on" position. BMW: All idiot lights on.
4. Hold the pedal to the floor for five seconds, then turn the key back to the "off position". BMW: foot off brake press start button - all idiot lights now off (don't remove the key), then release the gas pedal.
5. Wait a full 2 minutes for a full electronic alignment. Don't remove the key.
6. Start engine, drive the car, notice the difference.

Which one works and which one doesnt?

u can reset the throttle respond but just 1 time only.after turned off the car.then will go back.actually u just need to step to floor the gas pedal when u drive for couple time.then the throttle respond will sensitive again.
so i think is call the "adaptive throttle"

put your key fob in,push 1 time on the start button and step to the floor on the gas pedal for 5 seconds then start the car.
i would said is the "method 1" but no need to step that long on the gas pedal.5 seconds is enough.
