I installed this last night using an using an ENET OBD cord to USB-C from my android phone. It took less than 3 minutes to install. I haven't had a chance to get on it yet, but so far so good. So far XHP has one map (Stage 3). It was less than $400 total for the license and map. I'll update later.

Awesome. Can't wait to see the results. Are you going to do any draggy or similar for results or just seat of the pants and overall driving feedback?

I think it was worth the $365 for the customizable features alone, though I plan on using just the OTS map for now. My car is FBO with Stage 2 tune and so far the shifts feel faster and crispier, less gear hanging in just sport mode. I'll do some pulls in Sport+ on the weekend and update. I do plan on doing getting some draggy numbers soon.

What settings were you actually able to change? because as far as I know the settings are not available for this transmission model (currently), its just a preconfigured flash with no adjustments yet.

Check and see if it allows you any editing.

XHP confirmed there are no custom settings for the M5 yet. That will come in a future update.

I mentioned customizable features but all I did was install the flash and yes that's all that's available right now. There's a list of non selectable flash settings under my car which I assume will be available eventually.

Custom Launch Control
Shiftmap Editor
Max. RPM
Use Stock Shiftmaps
Take Off In 2nd Gear As Standard
Throttle Blips M-Mode
Gear Display
Torque Limits
Switch Off Sport-Mode in Cruise
Soft Shifts in Sport Mode
Activate Line Pressure Bump
Valet Mode

Any more news on this, only one guy bought it? I think the torque limiters can be worked round by how the ecu reports torque to the tcu. But for the money this seems a good buy if more options become available

I am looking into flashing the xHP trans tune tomorrow on my F90. So I will have report on how the car reacts on my drive to Houston.

Just flashed today with the xHP stage 3 tcu tune to my 19 m5 comp which currently only has a BM3 OTS stage 1 93 tune (plan to go stage 2 soon). Can tell its stronger shifting and quicker, as well as LC seems stronger. I have no clue as to how much performance difference it will make with 1/4 mile or 0-60 or 60' times yet, in due time. Weather blows right now. Need winter here in fl big time.

I used the same cable as i flashed with my BM3, a little tricky getting it up and running, seems the app doesn't like my windows. Would like to get the wifi or blue tooth dongle thing instead so I can adjust with my phone back and for some of those settings since its going to take a lot of trail and error unless we all share what is best etc..

The other options this app has look like fun to mess with but I didn't especially with LC torque settings. One thing I've been confused at even from the get go doing dragy's with my m5 is what is ideal shift points for fastest et / mph?

Any vids of a launch or paddle action/shift sound that you could show us?

No nothing yet. I'm still getting a feel for it. Right now the stage 3 alone with the edit option I picked (increase line pressure) might be to much for my liking. Its slow in between shifts manual. I've messaged the company and asked their opinion.
