When I reset adaptations with the BimmerGeeks software, it just says reset. When I would reset it through INPA, the entire car and gauges would "reboot" and I would get an error light the first time the car was started after that. It would go off after the initial start up.

I don't think the BimmerGeeks tools is resetting all the adaptations...

PS. I'll try to reset again tonight to make sure I didn't miss a setting. I'll check back in.
Well, there were 7 total adaptation resets I did (1 for engine and 6 for transmission). It solved my problem that I was dealing with so I'm quite happy with it. Plus, since I have the tool, I can keep resetting it if it acts up again.

I figure if the whole concept of "adaptation" is changing the car's response to the environment it's being driven in, an occasional reset is good thing and I don't mind doing it once a season.
