You really took it easy on those roads, I’d love to get some time of those roads lol. But great video, definitely gonna do it as well once i get my tranny in order
What if you have the M Sport model? I have the E60 550i and when I hit the sport button, the shifts are fast and brutal but when sport mode is off, it’s a normal car.
I feel you, my 335i is the same way. You just gotta find the sweet spot that the car likes most to shift at, once you find that the shifts will still be aggressive but won’t be as jerky as normal when you don’t use the paddles
I am a bit confused. What difference does it make if i only do the stage 3 on xhp and don't even touch MHD? In this particular video, didn't it just overwrite the xhp flash?
@@fry.master thank you for this comment, I love it when educated individuals talk facts! When you say “Race mode” do you mean like once you shift the car into “sport” with the gear shifter?
@@Kamshaft xhp’s tooltip in the setting itself claims “4x more clutch wear”. I believe this to be a massively wide approximation. There exists a balance in shift speed / force to find optimal clutch wear. Think about it: slipping the clutches is what wears the packs. So faster shifts mean less time slipping, but the harder force means the slip that does happen is more damaging. This ratio also changes depending on torque load and vehicle weight…. I digress. Main point is, not reducing torque output during the moment of shift is going to put a massive shock load on your clutch packs. This shock load sometimes might bite perfect with a crisp tire chirp, and feel like a monster making you want to do it again. But as soon as they slip a few good times doing that, they’re gone. I would only recommend that mode if you were going for a PR, had a very overbuilt transmission, or just otherwise needed every ounce the car has for a single race.
How is your transmission holding up? I have to get a used trans as mine has started misbehaving and thats only stage 2 mhd though I'd never flashed xhp. Maybe it would have helped
i did not believe you when you said these transmission were cheaper to replace then to buy oil and a filter for. ZF8HP45 all over the place for $200. wow
I actually did service my trans a bit after making this video & it made it even shift better! I am now servicing it again and this time also replacing the shift solenoids & mechatronic seals, cost over $1000 just for all the parts & fluid.
@@Louie_E92 it’s pretty straightforward, you got it! Keep everything clean and work safely! I also highly recommend OEM (ZF) seals and fluid. I ended up having to redo my work down the road as the parts I used were aftermarket and leaked.
@@3dirty5xi honestly man I’ve been running this stage 3 trans tune for 2 years now (40,000km since the trans tune) and for 1 year I’ve been single turbo putting down 550whp and the trans still shifts amazing! I also beat the hell out of the car. Another note, auto transmissions are very cheap and easy to find for these cars, no joke they are $300-$500 used with low km. Make sure you service your trans oil and filter with genuine parts and fluid, the benefits are definitely worth the risk.

Hey man, I have a E90 330D im going on alongshot asking this but whenever im in drive and give about 60/70% throttle it goes down to 5th gear and instantly back to 6 and sometimes to 4th gear what could be the cause of this. I have the XHP stage 3 on the transmission
definitely due to the holes in the hood. I have a turbosmart BOV that sounds the exact same when my hood is open but is muffled by the regular hood when it’s closed.
@@Kamshaft was debating over hks charge + ssqv or just getting the cheapo pipe that comes with a fake tial and getting a real tial later. You 100% made up my mind with this video lol. That ssqv sounds so damn good. Been about 8 years since I had one (the sqv v3 had just come out recently, and hadn't been faked yet)
Xhp took my money then telling me bs that they need to to process the payment and need photo of my idea then telling me that I have to wait until sometime in the week before they can fulfill the payment and then give me the license I heard about them I should have listened n not pay for the xhp crap because my car it good but just wanted to give it a try on the car for a drive to Atlanta over the weekend but that’s not gonna happen n tbh I really don’t that I want there app anymore more I amma request a refund so if u think your gonna make the purchase on the weekend r holiday and think your gonna get the license for there app or any help on the weekend thing again no happening
While I’d agree with you because I enjoy manual more than Auto and I’ve owned ONLY manual. I myself have a 6 speed 328i. The automatic in the 335i is better because it keeps you in boost when you really get on it, it’s faster because of that.
I got an HKS BOV + VRSF charge pipe but it’s not loud at all. Is it possible to adjust the spring rate or something? Or is it because I am not tuned? I was also thinking I may have a vacuum leak. Not sure though
100% cause you are not tuned. Tune=more BOOST! More BOOST= more cool turbo sounds. I have also flashed my car back to stock and the noises it makes are not even comparable.

I have the same setup in my e60 535i we have the sport automatic transmission I wonder if it works for us .?
It shifts perfectly. Definitely have to mod that.
For sure one of the best mods you can do your BMW!
I am a bit confused. What difference does it make if i only do the stage 3 on xhp and don't even touch MHD? In this particular video, didn't it just overwrite the xhp flash?
Do you need both the flash license and the map pack? So better to buy the flash combo right ?
Depending on what license you buy, it comes with a flash or all of them.
But the whole pack. It’s worth it so that way you have way more options to learn your trans.
Blow off is 🎶😮💨
You have xdelete along with the XHP tune? I’m interested in doing this with my e60
Yes! They make for a perfect combo.
What scan tool can you use to upload the time from iPhone ?
This is still incredibly slow compared to the ZF8 with xhp, is that the fastest this trans shifts?
Still incredibly fast for an A/T how much faster can the shifts get lol! Could still bump up shift speeds but I enjoy where it is at!
@@fry.master thank you for this comment, I love it when educated individuals talk facts! When you say “Race mode” do you mean like once you shift the car into “sport” with the gear shifter?
@@Kamshaft sorry no, it’s a separate flash option within XHP’s stage 3 or 4 configuration settings.
@@fry.master if I enable zero torque reduction would this be extra hard on the transmission? Just curious

Holding up well!
so should I get this first, before MHD?
You should get both at the same time! But it is not really that crucial, your car will be ok if you have MHD and not this.

Hey for some reason my car hesitates a little bit after I shift when I’m really laying on it, have you experienced this as well? Any fix?
Disable torque bog for (MT) through MHD! I did this and it made a big difference.
