Any other feedback about Xhp on 540i guys?

Definitely more forceful in Sport settings and loving the downshift blips. Bring on BM Stage 2 - still waiting for my downpipe to arrive.

Convincing me to void my bmw approved used warranty early to get this flash! I feel the stock gearbox map really needs it, along with a Stage 2 engine tune.

Any videos or sound clips of the downshift blips?

No video as yet. I've got a Blackvue,but I expect the audio won't be much good. I'll take a look.
After a bit of driving on the map, you quickly become used to it. Still loving it - comfort is unchanged but Sport and Sport+ are definite improvements. The blip down from 3rd to 2nd is definitely the most aggressive on Map 3. Launching the car is also much better but a lot harder on the rear wheels (then again I've got RWD; must be mad on XDrive). Most notable are the punchier lower gear shifts (up or down), but on the higher end don't expect a heaven & earth difference, even on their stage 3 mapping. No doubt you can make it a bit more aggressive with a custom map, but I'm OK with the way it feels at the moment. I'll probably play with some settings after the BM3.

I think unless you push the B58 to 450+ HP and above the 500Nm torque limits, the mod is questionable in terms of value and probably not needed.

Great thanks for the reply! Any videos welcome, I'm a sucker for downshift blips

I think the G30 does lack the excitement of gear shift noises in Sport+ but seeing as it's a prestige car it's understandable. I think I'm used to my old Seat Cupra DSG bangs and crackles going through the gears
