I only put Supreme/Premium 93 (we don't have 91) in my vehicle - he did ask me about my fuel type. The car did go back to factory throttle/hp feel when I put in the dummy plug.

EDIT: Also, do I have to drive it for it to reset or can I reset it via ESYS "Clear All DTCs" with the dummy plug installed?
If your scanner truly clears BMW's DTC's thats the best as it will eliminate the log (or flash file) too. Not many people have that type of scanner (I am buying one this week so my chip is completely in stealth mode). And yes, the dummy plug can be installed when you clear the DTC.
