This would be awesome if this worked.

So I sent an email asking why and how this tune is not detectable. Here's the response:
"with a standard diagnostic tool they can't detect it, ZF (and 'MAYBE' BMW HQ) could detect it when they search for it. The TCU contains about half a million lines of code and only some little parts in some of these lines are manipulated. There is something called 'checksum' this is the only thing they look at normally and this is what we know, and adapt it also To be completely safe, just perform a complete uninstall, what you can do with the app and your TCU is original again. No the TCU cant log anything by itself." Then I asked if bmw HQ or ZF could tell after uninstalling the tune: "The software gets overwritten, so they can't detect it in any way." Unfortunately, the only way to know for sure is if your tranny is toast and ZF and BMW digs into it. But my gut feeling is that they'll be much less keen on spending extra time really digging in on a transmission vs the engine. |

Been rocking my Stage 3 Tune on my M3 Comp RWD for about a month or so now and I absolutely love how the car feels now. I’m on newest 1.2 version as well.
It feels so much better in all aspects. In paddles, the upshifts and downshifts are amazing. In D3/auto mode it’s way more enjoyable as well. Feels like a proper DCT/built one. In my M2 mode- all sport+, S3 etc.. the downshifts with my exhaust and intake sound so nasty now, in a good way. 100% worth |

M4 CSL tune. Do you think if xHP can get their hands on a M4 CSL, they will offer a CSL tune map? like stage 1, 2, 3, and CSL? my car is mainly a track car and i am really hesitant to even consider this, especially stage 3, given how much harder track driving is on vehicle vs driving on the street, but maybe i would be more comfortable in using the BMW made CSL transmission tune.. thoughts?

I did not. I went through all of them and didn’t feel any of them were necessary to play around with at this point. The OTS Stage 3 as it is now is perfect in my opinion. Maybe if I’m the future I go for BIG power, I will do custom adjustment. |

Question for all of you that have flashed this:
Can you do the purchase of the Map Pack & License from any device, then put the software/app on your preferred device? Reason I ask, I purchased Bimmerlink and Bimmercode through the Google Play store on my Samsung Tablet, but everything else we own is Apple. XHP's website does not seem to be app-based, so I'm assuming once the purchase is done, they email you all you need? Thanks for any insight! |

I'm not confident that the license code can be used more than once (say if you entered it on the Android app and then tried to enter it on the iOS app afterwards). |

Once the license is used it’s locked to that device. But after purchase you’re free to pick and choose what you want to use it on first. I did it on my iPhone so it’s always with me. |

However once the license is used it is also locked to your vehicle's VIN so you can only ever use it on your vehicle.

Just installed this today. Coming from PDK and other DCTs, one of my biggest gripes about the G80 is the ZF trans and the lazy down shifts. With Stage 3, down shifts are much improved and for me, makes for a much more enjoyable experience. Upshifts are a tad rough at times but it's not a deal breaker.
If you're on the fence and not a fan of the stock programming, give this a try. One of my best mods to date on the car (JB4, MST intake, Valvetronic midpipe, MSS HAS).

Only necessary upon first flash, uninstall or re-flash after uninstall. Flashing between stages/custom settings the adaptation period isn't required. |

So I purchased the Kies WiFi ENET adapter to use with xHp and other apps. I now see on the Wiki for connection that the first flash has to be done by DCAN WiFi adapter only for G-series BMW??? Is this correct? I hope not, means I have to drop another almost $100 on an adapter

Don't bother with the KIES WiFi adapter... doesn't work. Friend tried on his G80 and would not do the first flash and Kies refuses to take a return without charging for returning.
