When the car shifts in comfort plus, I feel a jerk which I don't want to feel. Is there a way to have OEM settings for comfort plus and then stage 3 XHP on sport + or should I use stage 2 XHP and it should be less aggressive on comfort plus?

@Vince370796 Жыл бұрын

You forfot something about stage 2 vs stage 3, and this is DSC off. Manual mode is really slower in dsc off in stage 2, there's a delay between shifts and in stage 3 they are instant. That's why I went stage 3. I just turned down throttle blips to minimum in settings because they were pushing the car when braking.

@ian.gomez_ Жыл бұрын

One question I have always had is, how hard are these tunes on the transmission/ overall health and longevity in general? I had to flash stage 3 after installing my big turbo as stage 2 was limiting the torque pulling from 50’s and would cause a split second loss of power before picking back up.

I can not get my car to make any aggressive pops. I use BootMod3 and running the Stage 2 plus. I have a stock exhaust, VSFR high flow downpipe, charge pipe upgrade, and K&N air filter. With that said... I could make it very loud before the new fuel pump install. Do you have any clue what might be going on? I have tried refreshing back to stock and then back to the tune.

Once you go hybrid on the 340 I’d be interested to see what you change in the settings. While they raise the rpm a tiny bit it still goes into 8th fast at low rpms and kinda bogs you a bit if you have max torque at 3-3500rpm. Tried sportive shift map in the editor but it’s still not rly where I want it

@SpiderGamesHard Жыл бұрын

@@alexk4804 yeah but not sure how I should go about doing that. The presets don’t add the same % to each gear and if you do it wrong it can make the car really weird to drive. If you have some settings I’d love to try em! The standard xHP shiftmaps are def made for stock turbo. Adjusting a slider with a % is hard to gauge compared to just setting an rpm Ideally in d mode, rpm would be at like 1800 while cruising but shift down with a little gas to be in the power band more and feel less sluggish. Shifting at 3k with 25-40% throttle and higher at 4-5k above 50% throttle. And hold 6th and 7th gear longer so you’re not in 8th gear at 50mph. May try sportive+ instead of sportive next

@SpiderGamesHard Жыл бұрын

@@przemekgodzik56 depending on which hybrid mechanically they will spool different. pure800 or the smaller daw turbos can spool pretty fast while the ultra flow will spool slower. Regardless, most tuners won’t give you full boost till 3500 even if the turbo spools faster to protect the stock motor. I’ve driven my og pure800 car for a while and like to be in d mode comfort around town and cruising on the freeway. It’s not undriveable but changing the shift maps would greatly help.

Currently stage 1 340i rwd, im going xhp stage 2 before i get a DP. I’ll prob end up doing some suspension work and sway bars before i go stage 2. Also gotta make sure your tire setup can put that power down. So it really depends on your goals and if you’re ready for stage 2. and a stage 2 transmission tune will work fine with a stage 1 ecu tune, you shouldn’t have to worry about matching the stages. Personally I would go with xHP tune next, it’s fairly cheap and no install required. Dp is also pretty affordable and if you already have MHD license then ur good to go whenever you pop it in.

Great video, but one very essential detail you missed out is that the difference in shifts between Stage 2 and Stage 3 is ONLY in Sport+ / Manual, not in Sport or Comfort, which remain the same in both stages!! This is crucial for those of us who drive predominately in Comfort and Sport and use Sport+ / M (or practically S) only when really aiming and expecting maximum performance and maximum aggressiveness!! Also, maybe it is something I've read but forgotten - are you suggesting in Stage 2, shifts are faster in Sport+ compared to Sport? Do you know for sure / can you confidently feel that? IMO they are the same (faster than in Comfort, of course). Apart from that - I tried both Stage 2 and Stage 3 (starting with Stage 2). To me, Stage 3 in Sport+ / Manual is not at all as jerky as some people describe it, the shifts are harder but N O T H I N G compared to e.g. M135i's stock (!) gearbox shifts in Sport, which crack your back on every shift. And since I rarely use Sport+ (and when I do - I don't mind the extra sauce) - I stayed with Stage 3, as in Comfort and Sport it is essentially Stage 2. therefore again - it is crucial to understand that Stage 2 Comfort = Stage 3 Comfort and Stage 2 Sport = Stage 3 Sport!!

@bsturn Жыл бұрын

For those of us running stock, xhp ruined my car. It took away the hard aggressive shifts of the standard factory map in Sport mode. When I then tried to revert back to factory map, it took some updated stock map from somewhere....their servers.... And not the original map from my car. So I've now forever lost the enjoyable jerky shifts in sport mode, as well as the "fart noises" on upshifts. Total disaster.

If you want sharp gear changes you really need to put the car in Sport+ and to go in S mode (stick to left) or manual mode. For me, the shifts are crazy fast !
