I would push it hard and then take it to BMW to check for codes. A dyno run would be good also.

Since posting this I have pushed it hard, redlining it a few times and I must say there 100% is a difference! The engine feels much 'looser' of that makes sense! Throttle response has improved also.. Maybe the dpf was clogged or something!
