Any local reviews out yet

Very eager to hear the review from Twins...

Waiting for the local reviews.

Been reading some of the online reviews. Most people are enjoying the stage 2 flash compared to the stage 3.

I wanna do this xhp soon but will be after gearbox service from zf. Any local n54 reviews?

Loving the stage 3 on my 330d

Just be aware if you opt for stage 2 then decide you want to go to stage 3 you pay the full amount for stage 3.

Have stg 3 on my e90 auto ... have a BT setup .... S mode is great, however 5th to 6th criteria has been set very very high in terms of speed.

D mode is also great over alpina ... smooth shifting

bud give Xcede a call and speak to Allister

Hey guys, I'm abit late to the party here but xhp just released a flash for the 330i and i just wanted to hear reviews from guys who have the flash on their cars. Does the stage 3 file cause any excess wear or give rough changes on meduim throttle?
Also I've heard that on inclines the car would change into higher gears to quickly and be pulling up the hill at around 2000rpm, has anyone had any issues with it and would you recommend buying it?

Does the stage 3 file cause any excess wear
Hooning it has additional wear, meaning, driving like normal - normal wear, driving like a hooligan - additional wear compared to normal

or give rough changes on meduim throttle?
A gearbox with no issue should not result in rough changes. If you do experience rough changes, it means the software has highlighted and brought to the surface an issue that was there and the oem software was compensating for

Also I've heard that on inclines the car would change into higher gears to quickly and be pulling up the hill at around 2000rpm,
In essence the shift points have been changed, in my case, it holds first gear to around 2100rpm before changing to 2nd, in a normal driving situation ( car at least sounds more manual than a slushy auto) and as such all the shift points have moved up slightly ( 5th to 6th happens at 83-85km/h on stage 3 compared to 80-82km/h stock), it shifts to 5th at just about 78-80km/h now

Has anyone had any issues with it
No issues, but I still have recommendations that I would eventually like to customise on my car, for my driving style.

and would you recommend buying it?
Absolutely yes, but depending on your driving style and the purpose of the flash, you might not need stage 3

Thank you so much for your help.
So driving hard on stage 3 wouldn't cause any more wear than driving hard on a stock map?
I have had issues with my gearbox previously but it was all down to the software because once the car was flashed back to original adaptation values it drove perfect
Are you not able to customise shift points on software like tuner pro?
I'm looking to buy the super license with all 3 stages of the software and use stage 1 as my daily map and stage 3 on weekends

I have had issues with my gearbox previously but it was all down to the software because once the car was flashed back to original adaptation values it drove perfect - I assume this was done by ZF and they woudl only reset adaptations knowing it would not cause any issues

Are you not able to customise shift points on software like tuner pro? - XHP is rolling this out currently, but similar to how they rolled out the various vehicle and gearbox variations over time, the same applies to the customization module

I'm looking to buy the super license with all 3 stages of the software and use stage 1 as my daily map and stage 3 on weekends - Considering it takes just 5 min to update maps, its doable, but the recommendation is drive easy for a bit (100km), not sure in your case if you are changing between maps...

I guess that's to be expected , how long have you been running the flash? Is yours a 6HP19?

Gearbox center, he drove the car and pretty quickly told me that the gearbox wasn't the issue just that thr mechatronic unit could be at fault so once he reset the adaptation values he told me to drive normally and i haven't experienced issues since

I don't think I'm gonna be fiddling around with those but it's a good feature to have, i see they just released the feature to read your adaptation values from the app.

On their website they hint that the stage one file actually prolongs the life of the gearbox so i thought running that daily would be good. The stage 3 i will only run when I know I'm going to be driving the car hard

I have had stage 1 from december for a month, then stage 2 for a just month and now stage 3 for just over a month. Rayzor and Alex have had stage 3 on their E90's for some time. I have the 6hp26

Gearbox center, he drove the car and pretty quickly told me that the gearbox wasn't the issue just that thr mechatronic unit could be at fault so once he reset the adaptation values he told me to drive normally and i haven't experienced issues since

Normally if there was a major issue it would come back, so dpending how many kms have been done since you should be able to judge if it did indeed fix an issue.

I might get my 'dealer' to do this, something I'm sure some beer him make his decision.

I believe its the warm up procedure that they have improved, the rev matching in stage 3 is awesome though, but sometimes i feel like they might need to adjust the timing of it, on my car it feels like they add rev just a tad before it releases the gear resulting in a slight acceleration , even though you are decelerating ( if that makes sense)

Any new input on it? The flash is very easy to do i see.
Im just curious to see more reviews.

Im very happy with it. Loaded stage 1 first, now I have stage 2.
My gear changes is very smooth, quick, car is in the right gear all the time.
Something i enjoy as well is the fact that it shows me in which gear it is in D and S. For example D1, D2 ....D6, S1, S2 ....S6.
If you want to load the file, contact Keithan from RK Motion. He can load it real quick!

Xhp is the best mod I did after LSD. Car truly woke up on stage 3. :thumbs:
