Only BETA testers have access to it and PTF have been on radio silence regarding release date (if ever).

I think only certain people have permission to flash it but everyone can see it.

You can't flash it unless you are a beta tester. Many of us have already tried. I went with xHP because I was too impatient.

Do you really notice faster shifts or did you mainly do it because of the torque limiter?

Practice restraint, this is how most “surprise” families begin... 😬 . 🍻

I flashed with stage 3, what they call "race" and it's waaaay faster. I had a 2011 335is before with DSG, and it feels similar; especially at high RPMs.

Four things I like:
  • Fast shifts
  • Removal of torque limiter
  • Downshift blips in manual and sport
  • Sport mode is more drive-able (feels more smooth through the powerband)

I really wish PTF would say something about the development. I've been holding off on xHP but I'm getting impatient 🥴

This is improvement over the "sport automatic" factory option ?!?!?

Mine seems to struggle to shift as fast now with the BM3 stage 1 tune....

Yes I had the sport TCU coding from the factory as well. I'm running bm3 stage 2 and it feels like I have DSG. With the torque limiter removed it pulls hard through every gear. Shifts are like butter between gears.

I forgot to mention that it's kind of cool that you can actually see what gear you're in at all times on the dash, not just sport or manual.

I emailed PTF 2 weeks ago about it. They said about 2 weeks it should be ready for public release. I know things don't always go to plan, but I'm hoping it's any day now.

I tried getting ANY information regarding this TCU flash but nobody has responded, at all. It's really not like PTF not to give us ANY information so I'm wondering what's going on.

Don't know. Maybe they stumbled on a problem or there's some other more important project they're very preoccupied with.

About a month ago Dzenan said two weeks as well....

If you’ve been around bm3 long enough you’d know “2 weeks” is a running joke because they never provide ETAs on stuff haha check this out:

The guys at PTF we're kind enough to add me to the BETA today. I flashed before I left work for the day. Flash took about a minute with zero issues using my homemade WiFi agent.

HOLY SHIT. This is the way the car should have came from the get go. The only way I can describe it is my shifts are "high definition". Super crisp and fast. My jerkiness in low gears is pretty much gone and the car is scary fast. Third and sixth gear limits seem to be gone but I have to log to be sure. The wait is worth it. DO NOT spend your money on xHP.
