BMW 325d Mods part 2: Gearbox re-flash using XHP Flash tool

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

Brilliant Video, thanks for sharing. Will try out on my new BMW

[@TrackItYT]

totally agree on second to first issue at near stop. Makes a pretty big difference. Would like to see a long term review of stage 1 to see if there are material economy improvements to be had.

[@Thor_Asgard_]

xhp was the best thing ever to make my 335i n54 feel like modern again. I just used the stage 1 alpina setting, but its amazing.

[@dougiemiller5030]

Great video. Thanks for posting this. I am thinking of buying the xhp maps etc but couldn't figure out what I need to actually purchase. 👍

[@ganuv]

It’s actually normal for the gear box to stop on 2 gear on comfort mode , it’s only in sport and sport plus that it stops on first gear.

[@powpow4033]

so u have to get the flash license and the map pack in order to be able to have stage 3? otherwise what? You try to make it stage 3 from the flash license?

[@simakosk]

are you ure u got -0,6 sec with s3 without map? on 210hp stock? and with stage 1 you got onl 6,4 sec? have stage 2 but thinking of stage 3, stage 2 reacts too slow sometimes

[@unclepabs]

Great vid & thanks. Did you follow up with an engine remap too? If so have you made a vid?

[@johnny-S]

Yes the engine remap was done afterwards. There is a video about this. Thanks for watching.

[@skidillydiddily8571]

Just about to purchase this for my 530d, just wish the licence came with the 3 maps instead of custom settings for £130ish, then if you wanted the custom stuff you paid the extra 60 odd quid.

[@olegmakusev3140]

Where I can order please .

[@emanuelejakej76]

What app are u using?

[@Ratalala]

Works Only with Thor or mhd?

[@mistahaych9552]

Would have like to see some clips on the m mode

[@johnny-S]

Not sure it has an M mode - but I will check!

[@kidziis]

M mode is manual , when u shift the gears yourself

[@ellioth9253]

Did you service the gearbox before the remap?

[@johnny-S]

Not to my knowledge. Thanks for watching.

[@Prez_s]

what type of gearbox your car have - 6hp21?

[@johnny-S]

I will have to ask Steve to confirm on that. Thanks for watching.

[@youngstadan4999]

Holds in 2nd cos its in comfort. I have to put my merc in s for it to drop to 1st

[@johnny-S]

Unfortunately there are no clear driving modes on this car. Thanks for watching.

[@AMOKPLN]

can u show a lauch control ?

[@johnny-S]

Unfortunately that model does not have launch control.

[@AMOKPLN]

@@johnny-S can u record video with new xhp? normal traffic road"?

[@AMOKPLN]

how now gearbox change gear's in road

[@youngstadan4999]

Seemed slower the 2nd 0 to 60

[@youngstadan4999]

That was the software of the car telling you its basically a virus and then the software over writing it. I would put it back to stock and leave it be

[@youngstadan4999]

Probably got faults . The map says it will tell you of problems .. it did . So it'll clear them and your gear box will be dead in 6 months haha

[@johnny-S]

It sbeen around 6 months since he did it...so far its still running. Thanks for watching.

[@youngstadan4999]

I would never do one of these phone flashes you find on the net. Let's see how long the gearbox lasts. Go to a specialist grt it done right

[@momalik5978]

You obviously dont know what a xhp map is then! Its the biggest and best in the game for 6 speed and 8 speed bmws
