What would the Alpina flash accomplish?

All of a sudden Im interested. So much better than the 300$ some folks are trying to charge just for coding services. wish he was local to AL so I could try this.

[dixy2k]

I have the same worry as Hooper.

This guy doesn't have an address on his website. Sounds shady.

Can't wait to try it on mine.

Yes yes, I won't too.
For my 335d with 360Hp, I need better shifting !!

[Puerto Rican 335d]

I got the info anyone wants it txt me at 787.459.4518 and PLEASE ERASE the vin number ok I dont hv photo shop

Axel, I'll send you an SMS message. Crossing my fingers that my car is ready today.

The 6HP26 was lazy in my X5, and it's lazy in my 335d. Time for some quick shifting fun

Also for those who want to DIY this, all you need is a proper install of WinKFP and a DCAN cable.

My WinKFP is still currently set up with the E90 50.2 daten, but after I get the other flashes loaded in I will zip up the NFS folder so it's easier for others to perform.

[Hoooper]

any idea what the story is with flashing back if/when the shift points under throttle turn out to be off?

Update

Thanks Axel for sending me over that info. It appears your mate with the 525d is using ZB 7592130 which is one of the two profiles I had narrowed this down to, the other being 7592134.

Our likely stock ZB number to 7606273 but will confirm that once I can. Below is some text from various data & DAT files that i've started making notes on. You will see a series of comma separated values with an index of this:

ZB-NR TYP-NR HW-NR IX SW-NR AM PIN S CS

ZB seems like a friendly ID name
HW-NR is the flash program. This is a larger file in the DATA directory which is basically the EGS firmware.
SW-NR corresponds on a *.0da which appear to be the "profiles" for the firmware...settings if you will.

170kw (228hp) M57D30TU2
7592130,0000000,7591972,A,7592131DA,0FFFFFFFFFD,00 0,1 V

maybe this?
210kw (282hp) M57D30TU2TOP
7592134,0000000,7591972,A,7592135DA,0FFFFFFFFFD,00 0,1 J

probably stock?

Hooper,

You should be able to flash back to ZB 7606273 (exact ZB not confirmed yet) following the same process. That's what the 335i guys do.

[Puerto Rican 335d]

your welcome steve

[stevers314]

ZB 7592130 gave me the transmission gear error so i flashed it back to 7606273. Will investigate further.

Can't wait to try the Alpina flash.

However, I wanted to let everyone know that the latest stock software from BMW really firms things up quite a bit.

It is detailed in this thread:

I had it installed by my dealer when it was in for maintenance and while not perfect, is acceptable now compared to the sir slip a a lot from before.

[335iPSI]

Very interested in the progress here. A trans flash on the 335d would solidify my purchase agenda for sure. Thanks to those that are experimenting!

[stevers314]

Failures again. I tried ZB 7592130 and 7592134, both left me with a transmission error so I had to flash it back to stock.

Will continue looking into this.

[crazyinp]

stevers314, thanks for keep trying! Keep us updated

[iaknown]

I second that! Thanks for your effort! I'm dying to get an aggressive trans flash on this car....

[Hoooper]

Yep, Ill second all the above. I have/had doubts that an existing flash would be compatible but I certainly hope one is
