I can’t say for sure, but after being told this I do wish the steering was a little tighter at higher speeds and without performance control the other way to get this is to disable DSC with I don’t really care to do when driving normally.
After 6,000 miles, I have noticed that the throttle response is not as smooth as it was when I got the update installed. This is apparently do to adaptive learning feature of the transmission. I read another post that said driving the car hard after the adaptive learning is reset will help keep the throttle lag at stop/low speed to a minimum. I don’t normally drive the car that hard and frequently drive in slower traffic to and from work so I don’t get much chance to push the car hard plus it’s really hurts that gas mileage.

Thank you.
I experience the exactly same thing on my 28i.
