How to use XHP Flashtool to Flash your F Series BMW Transmission (F30 Trans Flashing!)

[@jermainepearson6835]

I just returned from my test drive of xhp tune. Wow it totally transformed the car into a totally different machine. The auto blip on down shifts are awesome when you have a tuned exhaust, and the shifts in D mode can't be felt. I LOVE THIS TUNE.

[@anastasiosavgenakis3443]

Is the Auto blip in Stage 3 or you tune it With the Settings

[@Starscream8896]

Arent you supposed to let the car adjust while you drive normal for 50 miles

[@spacemonkey7461]

I just did my XHP flash 5 days ago. IT WORKS WONDERFULLY with my MHD Tune. This is a MUST for tuned vehicles!!!!

[@denbittre]

What MHD tune are you running? Still going strong?

[@xxdizannyxx]

@@denbittre I've had mhd stage 1 on my 2015 m235i for a year and no issues.

[@jamalkhalid]

Which stage did you go for?

[@SanMarinoM3cs]

can you make a video on oil change or flushing the gearbox?

[@DjNikGnashers]

I had XHP3 flashed to my M140i, but in the settings, I turned down the aggressiveness of the shifts -20% for each gear. It changes really quickly, has the maximum torque limit (as my car is tuned to 634nm), but it doesn't over-rev the auto blip/throttle so much on down changes, and doesn't jerk you in your seat on up changes. I think it's the best setting.

[@axelg.martinez8648]

Hi, from Mexico. I'm starting with license in a f21 1 series B48 engine zf8hp trans, Do you recommend the same adjustment in aggressiveness?

[@HargunSV]

@@axelg.martinez8648 it will probably be fine, you will probably have to fine tune it yourself 😊

[@OlleBurman]

Which stage did you go with? I would like to eliminate the jerky upshifts so i might also go with the -20% on the aggressiveness but which stage did you use? 1-3?

[@platinumzs1k]

Wanted to hear more about torque limiter removal and how it feels in 3rd.

[@jesusguerrero6385]

Love the difference this flash does!! Keep the content coming!! P.S. I wanted to meet u at Bimmerfest, but couldn’t get out there (and I’m only EIGHT MILES AWAY?!?!) :/ I did swing by USR last week to pick up Depo taillights and LED reverse lights and Erick in Sales mentioned u had stopped by before Bimmerfest!! Hope to catch u next year!!

[@KiesMotorsports]

Yes, it's great! Ah, yea, we were right there!

[@terrancecollins2696]

Going to do Stage 2 soon … I honestly think the ZF8HP shifts insanely fast bone stock but if this can make it feel even better why not

[@TonyJelev]

What a tremendous difference this made to my f32 ...wow. Thanks !!!

[@valeriyGennadyevich]

Are using stage2 or stage3?

[@Fane182005]

HEY! Apparently there's a flash available for ZF8 automatic on bootmod3 ! Can you try it and let us know? make a video? 10x

[@regginnn2123]

How does the transmission hold up after awhile? Should you do a transmission fluid change at 60k miles? What about other fluids that need to be changed regularly with a tuned and modded car like this? For example break fluids, diff fluid, spark plugs, antifreeze... Thank you!!

[@1988josip]

You do.change at 180k km gearbox fluid

[@Dimitron20]

please make a transmission oil and filter change video!

[@J-Kersting]

No need. BMW uses a "lifetime" 200,000 mile fluid.

[@johnnyheast2615]

@@J-Kersting HA "lifetime" dont do this to your transmission..... ZF say change oil every 80.000-100.000 km and those are the producers of this wonderful transmission ... bmw just wanna sell you a new zf transmission when its dead :D

[@pjnyz]

just got my xhp yesterday. huge difference in shift time (both up shift and downshift) my only concern is if i should be messing with the custom settings on stage 3, or if i should just leave it alone

[@simonhansen6618]

Will this work in my F21 120d? I can't seem to find it on the compatibility list, but it's the same ZF 8 speed... Awesome content as always!!

[@gen13pinoy]

Hi Brian, can you compare the two transmission flash. Look like you have bm3 and xhp, can you compare them?

[@DadUsed2Skate]

Would you say stage 1 is better for the adverse daily driver? Or stage 2?

[@cjlaser0]

[@typejlb]

FYI with BimmerCode & Carly you can code the vehicle to show what gear your on if you like that feature.

[@apjacko1]

Can you, how do you do it, i have Bimmercode and have never seen that option ?

[@jamelgay6944]

How on bimmercode

[@_Forever555]

typejlb how do u do that on BimmerCode?

[@apjacko1]

Simple answer is you can't, or not in normal comfort mode any way, there is a way in sport mode or manual/sport mode, but my 435d displays the gears then anyway. Think we all want them displayed in normal driving mode, well we are unlucky, unless we get xhp or alpina flash.

[@3rkowtf669]

Great mod, Is this app compatible with latest Samsung tablets for example or does it work only with android activated phones ?

[@salamdevara]

This is amazing, will this work well with my bootmod3 stage 1 93 octane or will it mess things up? Please let me know because I wanna do this asap! Thank you!

[@yhelloh]

I know this is a year late, but the 8ZF (8HP) 8 speed auto transmission holds up beautifully, its used in some aston martins its very reliable.

[@NickNice518]

Is this beneficial if you already have a DCT? Most of the vids I watch about this flash says things like "who needs a DCT?" and such. But i'm looking for anything to help me up the torque. So was hoping this would help

[@Salpeteroxid]

This is for the ZF6/ZF8 gearbox, not the DCT. You can't use this software.

[@grgadgo1307]

Does it necessarily have to be a Thor dongle, or can a different one be used?

[@MichaelNNguyen]

It would be cool if your also do other popular models such as the 4 and 5 Series.

[@patricioelosua5886]

To get thr "true manual" without the flash just use your paddles but swith the gear lever to the left (sport position) then it will hold the gears and not shift

[@maxl7827]

That is not true manual. The stock manual mode "sport position" lets you change gears but if you hold too long it will change gear by itself. With xhp you can put it so the car never will change gear by itself when in manual mode

[@gamerpros7895]

Can you go for stage 3 on every single thing stock

Where’d you get that hood from? Looks dope

[@CSchuyler]

New to tuning, I currently have the BM3 transmission flash, do I need to flash it back to stock then flash the xHP? Also I’m running Stage 1 93, should I stick with Stage 2 or am I good running Stage 3 transmission tune?

Great info but do you have to conect the battery power like you did or does it not matter as I dont have 1

Don't quote me on this but if I recall right you have to buy the full thing which is about 350. Also once you flash tranny I think you'll have to reflash MHD and select the XHP option

[@spacemonkey7461]

keep MHD . Go back and reflash your MHD tune with the one that says "XHP or Manual Transmission"

Hello.. I am driving a BMW 750I F01 with 6 speed from 2008. Do I need a Module in the Car or is it Purely the software Tuning from the App to the Car? I hate to have extra Modules in the Car. It has a cheap imagine. I want just the clean perfect software setup from Phone to Gearbox Chip! What does it cost and will the 6 speed also have these very fast Gear changes? As you know, the 8 Speed Transmissions in the Facelift Models already are faster from the Factory then the previous 6 Speed.

[@ShowMeWhatINeedToKnow]

How did the transmission behave with each of these flashes, in comfort mode? Do the flashes only affect Sport and Sport+?

[@kardynamech1869]

I suspect that affects all driving modes

[@Gearsandco]

does it add pressure to the transmission or it's safe ?

[@Snail2G]

Something I've wondered about these cars before getting to test drive one (I plan on purchasing in a few months). Does the car upshift when you tell it to? My old Lexus was more of a "suggestion" to the transmission. If I floor it from a stop and shift to 2nd, it'll stay in first since that's the optimal gear. My current S4 however, if I do the same thing, will shift when I tell it to, which I much prefer. How is it set up on these cars? Same question I guess for if you're at cruising speeds, and drop to say 5th, and punch it, will the car stay in 5th, or drop to 2-3rd for better acceleration? I'm talking on stock tune or xHP tune, but I guess more so for stock tune. Thanks!!

[@papaidolatrine2499]

It depends whether you are in drive, sport drive, or manual mode. Drive and sport drive will shiftdown when you floor it and in manual it will stay in whatever gear and let you floor it.

[@DaChosenOne2468]

I know I’m late but I just had a question. When you go into manual mode do you still have to click the paddle to engage it or does it do it automatically if you turn on sport + mode. I like to drive in sport + but have the car shift so I’m curious to see if that is still available?

[@manuelschneider3112]

Christian Andolini this is normal because if you are in sport mode you want to have a faster and „sportier“ shifting...

[@mcintosh.motors]

Remember torque converters were designed to smooth out the transition between gears. That’s why DCT’s are so bad at low speeds. So if you’re feeling a harder shift in sport mode then yes that’s normal

[@Robsenheiners]

That’s absolutely normal and called ‘load impact damping’ which is deactivated in sport/sport+ to give you a ‘racier’ feeling when shifting ;-)
