XHP Flashtool

So I had the Alpine B3 TCU flash on my E90/92 and I truly enjoyed that particular mod. I was thinking of utilizing the XHP flash and was curious if anyone on here has gotten this done. If you have, what's your feedback? Pros and cons . . . thanks!

there are tons of guys running the XHP tune on their deleted M57's. I plan on doing the tune in the next few weeks as I just did the transmission pan, fluid and seal service a couple of days ago

I think it only works on the 6 speed transmissions. It won't work on our 8 speeds.

Nice, curious to hear your experience

I thought the same thing when I initially hit them up, yet they claim it does support our 8ATs. From what I've researched I've only seen as you stated above that it supports the 6 ATs. So I'm not sure why their information is contradicting themselves.

I've flashed mine a few days ago and I love it!

But yes, it is only available for the 6AT.

I can confirm that the info on their website was wrong and only works for 6AT. I just tried to do it and it said my TCU isn't supported. E-mailed and they told me the same and they're updating their website compatibility info.

Excellent! Do you think stage 2 is enough for street use or shall I just go stage 3?

If you’re wanting to tune your TCU, please PM DWR. He has custom TCU tunes that are downright awesome!

@335dsleeper are you referring to the 6hp trans or the 8hp trans?

Is that person on this forum or another? As mentioned above, what are his prices and packages? What's the pros and cons from his TCU tuning compared to XHP's?
