I have both my sensors cut off and the wires tied together so I can permanently delete the annoying service notifications (car permanently thinks the pads are new).

Is there a document which details this?
It does seem true because all the cars that come in for brakes at work have wickedly sharp pedal response. Fit new pads, reset CBS and even after bedding them in (pads only or pads and discs) the response is very much muted compared to before. Next time i get one i will fit a new sensor and reset it and go for a drive to test it. I remember i fitted new pads and discs to my car and didn't reset the CBS - but i dont recall noticing anything unusual.
When i fiddled with the druckmodell parameters in coding, what i noticed was the traction control was more gentle. I set everything to M3 parameters and the traction control is pretty much useless. The idiot light blinks but the car still spins the tyres. Im back to stock coding now.
I tied my sensors aside too. But if grinding down the sensors to simulate first trip stage of the sensor (half worn pads) will yield sharper brakes then i might explore that when i have some more time to tinker
