im surprised you didnt go for the xhp license and app,,you get 3 stages and can swap them about,,can run diagnostics and all sorts with it..then if that doesnt float ya boat,,rod sutphin modifies the xhp into his own version,,supposed to be mental,,,alpina flash is quite old and way behind the times like xhp,,i honestly think the 8 speed box is fine,,i did look into the xhp,,but didnt think i need it,,good luck with car.

There's a few posts on F30post for XHP. Few have mentioned that you can't seem to use 8th gear in sport (S8) with XHP. Not sure if that will change in later versions. Its somthing to consider in the future and I'll keep an eye out on the XHP threads.

Now if that’s too aggressive for you, there’s also stage 1 which (I believe) doesn’t modify shift points basically at all from stock, & stage 2 which is in the middle. Thanks, Junebug85 for the Pm! |

I think worst case would be that the dealer would reset the systems if there was a fault related to the I Drive and you would lose the coding. It's a risk

Start Stop Off all the time Fold Mirrors on Lock Rear DRL on Door Handle lights on reverse Acoustic Lock Always feel on edge when coding options as the various modules throw errors and the car beeps and bongs. On restart all is fine. BimmerCode has a nice interface and easy to use. I always make sure the ipad is fully charged and also the engine is running. I played around alot with expert mode in my F30 but not so much in this car. I also take pics of what I changed and write down the menus and changes in a note book. The things that Bavarain Coding did for me were out of my comfort zone. I know some have coded the Alpina Flash themselves aswel as other options using Esys? but i'm not that confident with the complex stuff.

I know that some people have swapped out there whole Idrive system to get the latest one. Took around 50 mins to get it from 5 to 6. No mods to hardware.

Not much chrome left on the car now. Was experimenting with wrapping the front and rear badge edges in gloss black. You can buy some black edged badges from IND for $115. bit steep bit i'm sure they will be of good quality. tried to wrap the front. Think it came out ok, just need to heat the edge for a seamless finish. Will leave for a few days to see...

After driving around with them for a week or so, I find them so much better. The position of them is more outwards too which is nice along with the feel
