Alpina Flash for 335d f31

Hi

Anybody know of anybody fairly local to Sheffield that can carry out the Alpina gearbox flash to my 335d F31.

Looking to get this carried out that's all.

Cheers

There is a very good guide here:

DIY car charger - Alpina flash. https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1628967

If you want to do it your self. You might be able to persuade him to help you or do it. I think he is in Sheffield as well.

It shouldn't be that hard. It is similar to coding with e-sys. The link has a good guide very clear and detailed. But if you are not good with these types of things maybe stay away. There are people that will do it for 90 quid for you. Much cheaper than tcu.

yes. There are folks who can do it remotely for you. But you will need a laptop and a dongle for the port.

Alternatively, there might be folks near you who can do it in person.

I had it done for me. I have lost some of the charging information on my screen but I have the blue screen with a permanent tach. And I do still have the amount of miles left in pure electric mode which is all that I need.

Funnily enough i've just done this through BishBosh's instructions. See the thread for my response, it didn't go without its drama.

I live in Sheffield and have the stuff for it if you want to pop round i'm in S8. I can help you but cant be in any way responsible for possible issues. I would never do this on someone else's pride and joy and don't have the knowledge to fix potential issues.

As said before, 90£ is probably worth it for piece of mind
