Wondering if we can program the shift points.
I can do this myself but I am not very good at looking at the gauges when hurling down the strip.

With a modified TCU BIN, yes. However getting your TCU flashed is still a challenge it seems. Until that process is a bit more cut and dry, you're going to be better off manually shifting.

That's a expensive AF way to get set shift points though. From the sounds of if MaxxECU has no plans to release anything outside of their units unfortunately. Never say never though I suppose.

Unfortunately there is no alternative. Standalone or wait for the tcu flash to be commercialized.

Don't know if I'm allowed to say this publicly but I asked xHP about a month ago if they were developing anything for the BMW DCT. The answer was this:

eventually we will have something in 2020, but too early to tell.

They already bought a dev car, but there is not any news beyond what I've disclosed so I wouldn't go bothering them. I speak to them semi regularly and there is not a product right now and most likely you'd see them promote it months in advance if there was one.

Also: without using much brain power I can guess we will see support come out for the F80 first. E9X M3 next. N54 last.

Ok. It's nice to know that at least somebody is finally developing something for this transmission... We didn't have even this bit of information some time ago.

That would prob make upgraded clutches not necessary until 800 hp considering the torque M5 and m6 put through that box.
