Hey everyone, If you're like me you probably want the most out of what you have, A few weeks ago i was down in Mexico with some friends one night and we did some good ol digs. One of the guys there had a 440i and asked me about what i had done to my M235i. He then asked me if i had a Transmission tune....I didn't know they had transmission tunes out for our cars...
If you don't already know xHP makes a tune for our 8 speed steptronic transmissions. I went ahead and downloaded the app on the same smartphone i use with my MHD tune. i looked over the app and decided to just go for it and try it out. It ran me 429.00CAD and the tune only took about 10mins to download into my TCU. The tune alone blew me away but the fact that you can now tweak your launch control settings as well as your M blip downshifts just was icing on the cake.
The transmission is a lot better and the shifting is so much better. I notice a massive cut down in time it takes to upshift, you stay in the power longer and it gets you into that next gear a lot nicer. Downshifts are perfect now and the way i have my line pressure set my downshifts are aggressive and firm, I use this car strictly for fun/track driving so i have it set pretty high on the % for the downshifts.
your DEC logic is modified and Sport+ is a lot different, you also get your gear displayed in every single drive mode. Nice touch!
I personally never drive my car in auto mode, i'm strictly in manual shifting almost 99% of the time. This transmission tune really really goes well with my MHD stage 2+ tune and makes my 0-60 times that much faster.
I highly suggest you guys check it out on the play store and maybe even give it a go. xHP gives you 4 stages of tunes when you buy the complete licence, The only drawback with the software is you must pay the full price for every stage even if you're only going to use stage 4 or stage 1 for example.
I personally went with the stage 4 tune and couldn't be happier, Great product, I notice entering coming into corners is a lot easier as i can be in the gear i want faster and everything is smoother.
* that Eco pro is unmodified and will act as it was set from the factory
Check it out guys! :party0030:
