Hello all!

I installed XHP to my 435d a few days ago and was patiently waiting for the 50 miles of learning to finish. The gear changes feel faster and D mode is useful now.

I can see that the car when in S mode it shifts above 5k RPM. My car is still stock and I feel like it is revving too high. Has anybody played with the shiftpoints? Maybe it can be improved. I think stage 3 that I am using is more for mapped cars, so maybe that is why it seems like the WOT shiftpoints are off for my stock car.

Also, has anybody tinkered with the launch control? I am a bit afraid I am going to break something with the x drive, but I think it can help a lot with the acceleration, since with the x drive there is a lot of traction to play with.

Overall I am quite happy with it and it gives more life to the car The main reasons I got it is to remove the torque limiters and to disable the torque converter (earlier at least).

Shift points above 5k are not optimum for your car. Try stage 2 instead?

Reading the description on their website, I feel like stage 3 is what I want. But probably need to lower the shiftpoints until I get a remap. What do you think?

Hi fantanas

I've been running xhp for a few weeks now and think it's fantastic. It's totally changed the feel of the car for the better and is really easy to use. I'd certainly recommend it for B58 owners based on my experience.

After trying the flashes I've settled on Stage 2 as the best for me. When you have the chance to use Sport it's brilliant. I have found though that the up-shifting is a bit aggressive in D in the lower gears in day to day driving so I have used the shift point editor to calm them down a bit and it's worked very well. It's great how quickly you can change settings to try them.

A tip on using the editor as it wasn't 100% obvious to me from the documentation. You make the changes you want in the app, save them (the app checks you haven't done anything stupid) and then re-flash your map.

So I would say have a play with the editor - just be organised enough to keep a note of what you're trying for reference.

Is it possible to tune the stock map with different shift points?
Will the app read them and let you adjust, or is it possible only with their maps?
