What do you think aftermarket "software" is doing? LOL. Now you're relying on some random guy to get it right instead of a team of engineers at BMW. Judging from the maps I've seen in person, they get it wrong - a lot.

If your understanding were true, then the programming would never
safely adjust between 91-100 octane either - as an example. How do you explain that people can run 91 octane or 93? How do you explain that they will gain power when higher octane 95+ is run? How can BMW, gasp, change the catback and add power with no programming? The ecu has trims and tuning ability for a reason.
I don't use aftermarket software because IMO it isn't a must unless you have deleted the primary cats.
