Tranmission flash for 540i
I'm currently running bm3 stage2 and was looking for a transmission tune, do some research and found xhp and transmissiontuning, xhp vehicles support list doesnt include g30 540i in the list so wondering if anyone done it yet and between xho ans transmissiontuning which one do you prefer?

Same boat as you. I've emailed xHP and they said they plan on support G-series by end of 2020 (it was spring 2020, but was extended due to COVID-19). From my research, the only G-series transmission tune that I've found is from Mission Performance. I'm personally just going to wait for xHP to release support. It sucks having to wait, but Stage 1 (and soon to be Stage 2) isn't bad by any means! Gonna wait on flashing Stage2+ until I can do the transmission tune (no point otherwise).

I am in similiar situation now - I really want xHP as my car is already stage 3. The best next thing is Mission tuning flash. You get increased clamping, rail pressure, faster shifts and reduction in torque drop in between. They say they recommend it and only do it with their tune, but I convinced them to try it with me even though Im at bootmod3. I have my car at the shop this week, but will try it next week and can report here how it is |

For now, I will do either catless or high-flow DP next. Then HPFP. Finally, I'll go Stage 2+ with the xHP tune (by the time it's out). After that...turbo and custom tune and then hopefully I'll be happy

Dont bother with xhp. In 2018 they said end Of 2018 in 2019 they said (Spring) said end Of year and when I asked at the end Of 2019. Another e-mail Spring 2020.
Same gearbox zf8hp50 in other cars. IT sens they cant realase anything. Currently I am running stage trans tune From Mission performance with my 540i g30 and its ok. |

ok just got the message from xhpFlash that they will release the flash for G30 in Sep. And don't buy MP transmission tune because they didn't tell you that the $400 is only for a stage 1 trans tune. Stage 2 only available when you get an engine tune with them. And $400 for a stage 1 only tune is not worth it. wait a little more for xhp will be deal.

Yeah i personal message them a day a go and here is what they told me
( Hi Scott, The closet schedule I can give you, is before the end of the year, as we are working with our G01 test mule to iron out the last hiccups. As soon as those are gone, we are going to bring support for the G30. Best regards,) |

MG Flasher just come out with a torque remover up to 1000Nm for all B58. But that come together with their engine tune so you can't run that separate with a custom tune on bootmod3 or MHD.

Yo! Was this update pushed to the Apple app store? I saw that 3d ago they released a new update (v2.3.1) which added support for G01/G02 X3/X4 M40i, but I don't see a mention for G30 540i xDrive? How did you get the update or is it already there?

Try to install. It works for G30 540. I used MHD black adapter and it's flashed by 2 minutes.

Got Stage 3 (no custom settings) installed using iOS/ENET! Had a chance to play around with it a bit...it's great in Sport+ with nice fast and crisp shifts, but kinda slow in Sport and Comfort. I understand the shifts being slow in comfort for uh...comfort lol, but I feel like Sport shouldn't be so lethargic. It's like comfort is nice and slow, sport is still nice and slow and then all hell breaks loose with Sport+. Right now, I'm driving Sport Individual with engine in comfort and transmission in sport when cruising and Sport+ all around when driving it hard. I wish we can change shift speed, since I prefer cruising in comfort mode with transmission in manual shift mode. Right now if I am in comfort with gear shifter in manual mode, the shifts are way too slow. What are your opinions so far?

I just flashed OTS stage 3 as well with Android/ENET. Kept away from the customisation for now. All worked well. Liking the feel of it. Still much the same as stock in Comfort although I get the feeling that it's trying to pick an even taller gear earlier than the stock tune. Seeing the gear is nicer than stock display. Definitely more forceful in Sport settings and loving the downshift blips. Bring on BM Stage 2 - still waiting for my downpipe to arrive.
