Solved, they sent me a new test pedal map and fixed the PTF problem, they are the best!

How do I get the new transmission flash?

I flashed my car about 3 months ago and the only transmission flash that was available was for M cars. There's now a flash non M cars?

Edit: is this it?

What do you mean? Are you looking for someone to do bm3 flash for you?

If that what you are asking kiesmotorsport is located in New Jersey maybe you should pay them a visit.

Found it on the app yesterday, had to try it out!

Results.
*Faster more defined shifts
*overall more solid feeling from the gearbox
*holds gears in manual mode
*more aggressive engagement from standstill

So far im loving this!

Have you tried it in Comfort mode and in 6th gear, accelerate with the car when it goes to approximately 1,200rpms, to see the point where the gear changes to 5th?
We are all having problems that at that point you have to step on more than 87% of the pedal to change gears and PTF, it helps us by sending a file to test if the error has been fixed, which is simply to modify the accelerator map.

A greeting.

Has anyone tested the trans flash at the track? Anyone running quicker times with it?

Try Kies Motorsports in NJ. They have mobile services so they will come to you.

Atiqofsweden · 08-07-2019, 12:30 PM

Ok, so while heading home today i encountered a situation where i needed to apply a lot of throttle to get up to speed. As i pushed the accelerator down firmly the car went forward slowly, so i pushed it all the way down triggering the kickdown button, it took like 3-5 sec before the car even reacted.
Luckily nothing happened except butthole clenched

Is the harder gear shifting bad of the transmission?

Also - do most BM3 users reflash whenever there's an update?

I just flashed my transmission, definitely much happier with Stage 2 now!

I always re flash when there is an update.

It's my (albeit rudimentary) understanding that the quicker shifts are actually better for the transmission. Smooth shifts means a slipping and prolonged engagement of the clutches and valves, whereas quick shifts just get it over with, wearing less on certain parts. That's at least how I've heard it explained by some people about other transmissions, I'd assume the same is true for our ZF8, and it does make sense.

Gen13 F36 · 09-26-2019, 12:38 PM

Is there a new update?

floridaorange · 09-26-2019, 01:28 PM

I think the last update was around 9/10, but any important updates I think they advertise on here - as well as the BM3 fb group.

Would be nice to get a text notification!

Abramstaff · 09-27-2019, 02:38 PM

xhp is now available for n20 n26!

leeicedtea · 09-27-2019, 03:39 PM

To me it feels far less comfortable and snappy, almost like i'm sitting in a supercar. Weird haha

i got the some issue. when faced with traffic, the car feels like newbie first time driving a manual car. but when in highway, feels great.

Finally did the trans flash today and the shifting at low RPM is night and day better. Before it was sloppy and long to shift and now it just slides right in without any hesitation. Haven’t driven far but I did notice in comfort mode I went WOT around 20mph and the delay before the car picked up concerningly long as it down shifted the gears. Hopefully the car just learning. Overall first impression is good.

arvi604 · 11-07-2019, 03:34 PM

Would not recommend personally I had issues where car would judder at WOT and trans overheat malfunction showed up on iDrive multiple times.

I have since flashed back to stock, no issues.
