Now on the x5d the xHP tune felt very slow at shifting still and acted like it just wanted to slip with no power getting put down. I hated it enough to say screw it and roll the dice on a somewhat new product and try the TC and a different tune.
Once installed it shifts very smooth and is very quick to engage from a stop; only a little throttle is actually needed now 10% vs almost 40% before to feel like it was accelerating... Now in sport/manual mode I can squeal the tires finally 2-3 shift at wot... 
For me I would buy what you want on your car. I promote no products, I just give feedback when asked, good, bad, or horrible. |
I feel like if you drive in m-mode you have the best driving experience in these cars. It's just so damn quick. I always get asked if its and manual and I say no it's an automatic and people are like what?? It's not as fast as a DCT but damn close.
Btw the harsh shifting and little quirks is the reason I bought the customization license, since fine tuning my stage 3 tunes on both my x5d and 335d I have no complaints. Took a bunch of revisions but it was well worth it. They both have similar tunes but my 335d is more aggressive, my x5d might get revised once deleted though.
