2007 335i XHP or Alpina transmission flash

bizzleb109 · 09-18-2018, 06:52 AM

This has probably been asked before but have looked for threads and no joy so here goes, previously after I had my remapped I had the alpine transmission flash done but due to some transmission issues whilst getting repaired had the software updated to standard. Ever since I have been meaning to get it done again, I have heard a lot about the XHP but with all the known issues I personally feel that the alpine flash is the safer option what do you think?

Thanks

What kind of issues are you referring to with the XHP tune? Are they limited to the 335i? The few reviews Ive seen for 335D XHP tune seemed positive.

I was reading where people used the xhp and started having problems car not running properly etc, also just yesterday on another thread in this section somewhere people where talking about current xhp problems as one person wanted to give xhp a go but was told to wait till the issues are sorted.

I've ridden in cars with both and chose to go with xHP on mine. More user end user options and customization you can do for your own car and mods rather than going through a tuner each time you want to adjust something. Look at my sig for details on what's been done to my car.

Oh and I love the xHP tranny tune by the way! No issues whatsoever! Easy to install and make adjustments. The only thing I didn't like was the 50 mile tranny learning process you have to wait for. Basically drive 50 miles while the tranny learns and adapts to the tuning etc.

I've had both. xHP wins for sure. I suggest Stage 3.

No issues with my Xhp stage 3 tune, and the customization is awesome. Love Xhp!
