Gearbox remap

Has anyone had there gearbox remapped on a lci 330d ?

Been speaking to a guy from a remapping company who said it makes the shifts super fast and super smooth and the car is in the right gear all the time coming in/out of bends and roundabouts

Just do XHP stage 2. Cost me about £150 inc buying an android phone. Think JF Automtive wanted £345 for the same thing lol.

I second that. xHP Flashtool is going to be your best bet in terms of quality and pricing. There is an official xHP thread on this software and to say it is well developed is an under statement!
