Attention All,
Steve is THE MAN!! I made the trip from South Jersey to Brooklyn, NY to meet with Steve and get the Alpina B3 flash done to my 2012 e92 N55. (About 2 hours travel time) Words cannot describe the professionalism and pure class that Steve has exhibited through this whole process. He was extremely quick with his responses through texts and was able to fit me in for the coding with short notice. He was very very thorough and a perfectionist. The Alpina B3 flash is simply stunning. I would drive 5 hours if I had to do it again need be. The car is a complete monster and now breaks the tires loose in 2, 3 and 4th gear when in m sport mode if not shifting quick enough. The shifts are literally lightning fast and like butter. There is ZERO lag and feels like the car is propelling you forward into the next gear. My car feels like a rocket as is and my meth kit is on the way! Sport mode is awesome and normal drive mode gives you great MPG I had two friends in the car to join me on the ride up and back and they were in shock and awe at the difference on the way back home after the flash. I am SOOOO HAPPY I didn't wait any longer and this may be my favorite mods so far. I cannot thank Steve enough or put into words how thrilled I am. If anyone is even debating this, you are an absolute fool and should not wait a second longer! Thanks SOOOOO much Steve. You are an amazing dude and true BMW enthusiast. Also, your car is the tits too! Thanks again!!!!! |

Sick sick sick!! My God I had no idea this trans could do this. The one thing that used to annoy the shit out of me has been resolved.
I am in love with this car all over again. God bless you Steve, you're a god among men. |

I assume that you checked it. So it has to be something else what is responsible for ECU flash. |

We tried to flash it to 3 model year two 1/07 and one 12/06and it didnt flash...WinKFP wouldnt even go further as soon as you press program, it errors out...We already discussed this that the valve body is different and changed over 3/07

What was the one annoying thing? The only thing bothering me right now with respect to the trans is the "jerkiness" when starting off from a stop in DS mode. Congrats!

I have 4 more years buddy- rest easy, Steve is the father of this, without him this would not be possible. By the way, this is BMW software Chris- you have nothing to lose- and oh so much to gain. Let us know how you like it!! Anyone else on the fence- let me tell you, I was the most skeptical and chicken shit guy in this thread. I am now a believer. Do not wait any longer, because once you realize what this really does for your car, your new question becomes "why the hell did I wait so long??" |

I'm not sure if mine needs to adapt a little more, but it doesn't look like i am getting the nice rev matching that you guys get in S mode... take a look at my other vids here and let me know what you think... I have to fix my paddles as well later.
http://www.youtube.com/user/Flashpointz?feature=watch I haven't driven it much so maybe i need to just drive it more. I do think its an improvement though! |

Okay, so reading through this thread has gotten me very interested in this, but I do have a question. How do I get it? It seems like everyone is located on the coasts and I'm stuck in the Midwest.
