Alpina Transmission Flash

Had this flashed to my '13 550 a couple of months ago and all I can say is wow, this is how the car should have come from the factory (I guess it did if you bought a B5...). I would highly recommend this to anyone that wants more M car from their non M F10.

Shout out to Will @ bimmerretrola.com for taking care of this.

Any questions feel free to ask. No videos but I will try to grab something before the summer ends.

how does this Alpina flash compare to the xHP trans tunes? Or even just the BimmerCode/ Carly trans "sport trans" coding? Could you be more specific as to what makes this flash better?

I felt a noticeable improvement when I first bought my car and coded the Sport Trans with BimmerCode. Then later I did a pan drop and fill with LiquiMoli trans fluid and that was a big improvement. I later did xHP stage3 and my trans has been amazing since.

edit- all in, ANYTHING other than the stock trans tune is better! lol So Im glad you did the tune as Im sure you're loving it!

Alpina is roughly the equivalent of xHP stage 1.

Not sure of the differences, but if i had to choose, i'd choose the Alpina Tune, as you know its BMW and German TUV Approved...
