530d F11 Alpina Gearbox Flash

GDLF. · 09-29-2017, 02:51 AM

Hello Friends!

I am into coding F-Series and a good friend of mine asked me, if I could flash his BMW F11 530d with the Alpina Gearbox Software for a bit more aggressive shifting of the automatic transmission.

Does anyone know how to do this? Would be nice if anyone can help!

Cheers

The Alpina B5/6/7 uses the 8HP70 ZF8 transmission. If I'm not mistaken, anything less than the 50i's usually use the 8HP45, which would make it incompatible. See if you can code 2TB (the Sports Auto Transmission) instead.

I will possibly be trying the Alpina software soon, will keep you updated!

Just curious. I?ve heard it does improve downshifting and shift times, haven?t heard many people doing it yet.

Guess iâ€™ll have to try it for myself.

Hello
Could somebody help me to flash my 535xd with Alpina Gearbox Software?
Everything for flashing is available. Support with Teamviewer would be great.

Thank you very much.
