That being said, my car does feel faster (read: more throttle when you push it), but I was careful for the first 1500 miles or so, thus YMMV.
My SA told me the RIS would unlock additional performance. When I repeated it here, I was called out for perpetuating the myth. I honestly don't know what the truth is at this point with this particular vehicle. I wish we had definitive answer on this topic.
I heard the same from two different (dealerships) BMW service/tech guys!
