I think is more of flash on the module(s) as oppose to coding.

Is the CS coding the same? Or are you loading in a different map for the transmission and software that wasn't present on the car when built?

I'm 100% decided on getting the CS steering and transmission flash.

How is everyone liking the other flashes like suspension and differential coding? And what changes come with both in terms of real world driving?

Hello,

I have CS coding for my G80 M3C a few months ago. Did everything except the suspension as I had KW V3.

90% of the time I like it, it was fun during high spirited driving. But for the 10%, quite often can be jerky, like after slowing down then start going again, can be jerky.

So just wondering if there is like an updated version for this coding?

Who did your coding and trans flash?

I'm assuming you're talking about transmission mode 3?

If not you have an issue, as I have no jerkiness whatsoever other than mode 3. Which smooths out when you get on it hard.

Yes, this is true. In the fastest shift mode, if you're not decently into the throttle, it can be clunky, but it's very smooth and quick if you're ~30% throttle or more.

I like the occasional clunkiness, as it makes me feel like it's a sporty DCT. My issue with the ZF8 is that it just TOO smooth, not enough drama...an occasional bit of clunkiness adds some drama. LOL

Someone professional did it here. He did a good job coding it. I also want to add as my car is the rear wheel drive, I understand its actually the CSL coding, not the CS coding.

Frankly, its just the auto mode 1, again, its just sometimes like when starting moving, can be a bit jerky. Its just a minor irritation.

I've driven in auto 2, or even 3, with engine sports plus, and its fantastic. Still a bit jerky like when slowing down, then pressing the gas again, but in this situation, the jerkiness is even less.

Just had the car coded this morning thanks to Kuba / Bimmer Remote and was a great process. Had full anti-dazzle and CS suite added.

Initial impressions are great, especially the transmission software. Can't find any downside and is an improvement over stock in every way. Far more responsive, downshifts are snappy, no more lag between upshifts, and significantly quicker shifts in general. Have not experienced any jerkiness yet and comfort / sport are smoother than stock.

Steering I'm going to spend more time with before making a call but there is definitely more weight, the best initial improvement is the steering actually returns to center which feels more natural. Sport+ steering (in M2) is quite heavy, almost too heavy. Might keep it in comfort across all presets.

Suspension seems ever so slightly more firm across all presets, but need more time to evaluate. Also can't wait to experience anti-dazzle tonight.
