535d transmission flash on 535i

Can i flash the 535d transmission flash on the 535i? Seems like the car would be alot quicker if it had a 5500rpm redline plus its annoying that everytime i go full throttle its not even in the optimal powerband on the stock turbos.

xHP day and night difference in gear shifts compare to stock. ECU tune is just that an ECU tune. xHP flashes TCU.

Well I don't see how xHP will make the trans wear unless you hitting high torque like me. In your power band I think xHP even better giving you better line pressure so your clutch don't slip which would mean less wear. But I could be wrong lol. I am already at 107k on mine and been pushing it and launching it. I was thinking if anything buy a used 800 dollar low mileage trans from eBay that came off of accident cars haha.

Can you change the shift rpm on the f10 with xhp. I know you can on the my e92. I just hate how the car always downshifts so high in the rpm range were theres no power.
