Exactly what I wanted to see: lookship video + xhp flash

[@2candan1]

Finally I’ve been keen on this mod before I worry about adding power. Glad to know it helps for stock significantly too

[@definedcoding]

Probably the best video review I've seen of xHP, glad your enjoying it and my pleasure dealing with you! Can't wait to see what else you've got in stock did someone say bootmod3 also....

[@lookship]

You're too kind 😘😄

[@Wout_G]

Oh yes, the roundabouts, it frustrates me as well! Already caused me some tricky situations because I didn't expect the lag... I expected to be long gone when the next car came round. Thanks for this review!

[@jonahbaha5227]

Best videos for m140i will message you when i pick up mine!

[@joedj9]

Glad you've done a vid about xhp as I've been debating weather or not to get it when I service the box, so thanks for that. Fiesta St 😂😂

[@greggsmith5391]

Your videos are class. Stumbled upon them good job I did you need more subscribers for sure.

[@lookship]

Thanks man ✊

[@mikesloper7112]

Just a quick line to say a big thank you, happy to take your recommendations as re-inventing the wheel is something Ive finally learnt to let others with more knowledge & experience go before me. Given that I want better brakes on my 140 & Im thinking ebc / zimmermann dimpled groved disks withyellow stuff / ferodo ds2500 pads. Any alternative thoughts / recommendations very much appreciated. Wishing you health & happiness.

[@lookship]

None at the moment mate, but if I start looking at upgrading myself I'll let you know what I find out 🙂

[@matbooker]

Good work mate....would love to seeing some raw sound clips (in and out) and some footage of tach as you shift through gears =)

[@dacmm]

Jesus how can you not show any footage of the shifts after the map? The single most important thing..

[@lookship]

I mean I don't really know how the camera could capture something like that so I thought a 3 minute explanation of the changes would suffice 🤷🏻😅 The changes are effective, but not enough for me to set up a GoPro and be shouting "OH MY GOD THIS IS AMAZING!" 😆

[@FQ1998]

Why stage 3 over stage 2 sir

[@adambradley9679]

Good video always wondered what it was like on a standard car.

[@aeronjones5824]

Ace mine going to unicorn tuning in Stockport next month for stage 1 and stage 3 Xhp flash

[@lookship]

Nice. Heard good things about those guys 👍

[@aeronjones5824]

Hope so two of my friends have been there one with a m135i and the other with a s4 now running 500bhp

[@kurrunvohra2822]

What power did it make from Unicorn mate?

[@henryhealy]

3:15 the DSG box in my Golf GTI is the same, it's like you have it in neutral and just rev it out

[@SAVING_ICONIC_MACHINES]

Subscribed bro 😎 really good content. Iv got a YTC too and in the market for a m140i too so thanks for all your helpful content on the car.

[@bradofwar5960]

Dct is not really king anymore as you point out here. The new M3 has now the ZF8 speed so it should be good if they use it in a M car.

[@paulharris5634]

Great video luke 👍🏻

[@scoss2]

How does the XHP stage 3 map diff from the stage 2? Thinking of trying out 3.

[@tbbmw_m2]

Hello, I just installed a mhd stage 2 on my m240i, but the sport dosplay showes only cca 290kW but not 350kW what it should. I dont have the xhp. Is the xhp the problem?

[@mysterygti]

great video, thanks! Out of curiosity, where did you film the shots on the roof of the car park? The blue bridge in the background looks familiar.

[@tackycomrade]

Where did you get your wing mirror covers from

[@lookship]

Just off eBay buddy. I think there's a link to them in the description of the cheap mods video I made 👍 The listing may have expired by now though

[@the-cad-desinger2074]

I just bought my 116d from 2018 can I do mostly the same mods as the m 140i ?

[@Vyker]

Bootmod3 has the ZF flash already. Don't need xhp anymore.

[@Bride83UK]

I don't think it does? I have BM3 stage 1 (1.0) and my gears don't show in auto mode...?

[@Vyker]

@@Bride83UK the transmission has its own menu in bootmod3, so it's not in the engine map section. The gear on the dash is just a module code that doesn't affect the actual transmission flash. I think you can program the gear number using bimmercode.

[@Bride83UK]

There's no option for transmission for my car unfortunately on there 😣 B58 M140i

[@legendgalaxy]

@@Bride83UK This is for N55 cars... B58 you need XHP

[@kyle.bratton]

Unfortunately it doesn't it only comes with the 135i Gearbox Flash and even then this only for 1st and 3rd gear I believe, xHP transforms the ratio's and shift pattern completely making the car feel truly more alive!

[@markrhoden68]

Ill be the dull guy and ask the question I guess I already know the answer too. I presume this would invalidate the cars manufacturers warranty?

[@federoco1]

What's your wheel spacers configuration?

[@paulfrancis5901]

What did you need to have it remotely done

[@lookship]

Defined Coding sent me out an ODB - Ethernet cable All you do is plug that into your car, download team viewer and as long as you have a WiFi connection Kyle can connect up and flash it for you 👍

[@paulfrancis5901]

@@lookship Cheers as I need to get mine done,It runs 370 bhp so would benefit from it

[@arronhowitt321]

Does this add any upshift fart sounds like the dsg or not??

[@lookship]

If it does, it's not noticable from inside the cab when driving

[@arronhowitt321]

@@lookship thanks for the reply! I have a 240i. Getting a Remus next week and then xHP will be the next mod for me...

[@heliojunior218]

How much cost? Do I need to buy the licence + the upgrade? Are you running stage 3?

[@lookship]

Nothing other than stage 3 is worth it imo 👍

[@tonyv7589]

Grate no BS opinion ,,like your vids,,,is throttle blip in all modes ,,or just sports ,sport+ ??,,,& in manual mode dose it hold gear untill it hits rev limiter without changing??!,,cheers👍

[@lookship]

I think the throttle blip is in comfort mode too. Haven't drove it anywhere in comfort since having the flash done haha. It's a 'true manual' mode. Have to physically upshift on the paddles. No forced shifts.

[@Duncan94]

I need help! Been looking to pick up a facelift 240 for literally fucking ages because I've been wanting a manual and have a bit of a specific spec. Do I bite the bullet and just get a ZF? I only hear great things about them but feel like I NEED a manual! Help, please!

[@lookship]

I'd definitely suggest at least trying an auto if you haven't. I was dead against getting one until a mate of mine took me out in his. It completely changed my outlook on them.

[@Bride83UK]

First auto I have ever had... Had manuals for 18 years prior but have loved the ZF8 for my first three months of ownership 👍

[@AH-007-75]

ZF8 in the bmw are brilliant, you wouldn’t regret it, no matter how much you like manual.

[@ryancox3834]

Although manuals are great they just don't get the R n D that the auto gets to match it with the engine so well. Only thing I would say is auto cars can definitely benefit from braking upgrades as without engine braking hanging 1.5tonne motors on pure brakes very quickly gets you to fade.

[@sportsmachinerr1401]

@@lookship I'm a manual fan however I went auto and haven't regretted it. The manual mode via paddles is great for a spirited drives or just stick it in drive and chill, best of both worlds. Also mine does some interesting sounds on upshifts non OPF model kinda like a DSG box.

[@legendgalaxy]

Thoughts on reliability? Only concern from me doing this.

[@DjNikGnashers]

Me too. I had a custom map on the engine, but the ZF8 is expensive enough to service when the time comes, as it is, and I don't want to shorten it's life significantly if the XHP causes more heat/wear to the gearbox.

[@Addselwyn]

@@DjNikGnashers apparently it prolongs the gearbox life due to less clutch slip

[@DjNikGnashers]

@@Addselwyn That's great info, thanks. Mine is booked in for a 200 cell cat, further remap, and XHP3 software next week, can't wait.

[@Addselwyn]

@@DjNikGnashers how did the mapping and gearbox tune go

[@DjNikGnashers]

@@Addselwyn Brilliant Adam. It made 455bhp/634nm on the same conservative dyno as before. It pulls like a train and it's proper wild now hahah ! Not sure I'd want much more power in it to be honest, I think I need suspension upgrades next :-)) The XHP3 is brilliant, although I adjusted the ferocity of the changes, after experiencing a mates car, it was a bit too jerky in sports setting, so I reduced the ferocity by 20% for all gears in the XHP settings, and it's perfect now. Faster changes but still not too jerky, also raised torque limits to max.
