You'd do the latter for example, if you replaced internal parts.

BTW I am pretty sure re-flashing the TCU (say with Alpina B3 or other) DOES NOT automatically reset TCU wear parameters.

I do not know if the BT tool reset vs INPA is different.
Thanks for all the insight. I also agree that I dont think updating / changing the trans software also resets adaptations.

Can you confirm that the screen shots I posted is in fact the INPA method of resetting the transmission adaptations?
