CUSTOM

  • Max. RPM: Custom shift points for WOT (Full Throttle). The Max. RPM can be setup separately for D, S and M mode, each with Kickdown being active or inactive. “Kickdown” refers to the Kickdown-Switch at the end of the throttle travel, drivers recognise as small threshold in the pedal.
  • Kickdown: Enable/disable usage of the Kickdown-Switch, separately for D, S and M modes. There are 3 settings: Default, On, Off. Default uses whatever is setup in the flashed Map. On and Off override the setting in the Map respectively. Please note, that “Kickdown Off” does NOT mean, the car won’t downshift anymore. Just the maximum speed for downshift in each gear, when full throttle is applied, will be lowered!
  • Gear Display: Customise the display of the current gear in the dash. Four settings are available: Default, Gear Display Off, Display Actual Gear, Display Target Gear. Default uses whatever is setup in the flashed Map. Off, turns the Display off. The Dash will show just the current mode, but not the current gear (except in manual). Display Actual Gear and Display Target Gear will show the current gear in all modes (D, S and M), but differ in terms of when the display switches to the next gear. “Display Actual Gear” will let the display switch, when the shift is fully processed, and the next gear already engaged by the trans. “Display Target Gear” will switch the display right at the beginning of the shift. Perception of drivers is different, in terms of what is the correct time for changing the gear-display in the dash.
  • Start in 2nd Gear at Standstill: Chose whether the transmission shifts down to 1st or 2nd gear at standstill. (in M-Mode)
  • Throttle Blips: Throttle Blips are used to rev-match the engine on downshifts. This function lets you setup the aggressiveness of downshift blips in manual mode. The main goal of rev-matching is to speed up downshifts by actively matching the Engine-RPM to the Target-RPM in the Target-Gear. This is done, by applying a short blip to the throttle during the transition phase between 2 gears. More audible and faster blips but can get uncomfortable. Less intense will lead to a slower but smoother rev-match. Please note, that this function does not support all vehicles/maps. Generally supported are N54/N55 vehicles. On other vehicles, these settings may not have any effect.
  • Custom Shift Points: Change all shift points in D and S mode to your personal liking. These are based on the current shift points which are then modified by a certain %. Exact RPMs are not possible.
  • Shift Speed in M-Mode: This panel lets you tune the Speed of each upshift in M-Mode! Positive values (slider to the right) mean SLOWER but more comfortable shifts. Negative values (slider to the left) mean SLOWER but smoother and therefore more comfortable shifts. For example, if you have the feeling that the 1-2 shift in M is too hard, pull the slider to the left, to make it smoother. You can experiment to find your optimal setting. There are no "dangerous" settings possible.
  • Lockout 6th Gear in S-Mode: Since launch of xHP this is an endless debate. Some customers want the trans to engage 6th Gear on Highway Speeds when using S-Mode, others don't and complain about the exact same thing. Most BMW do not use 6th Gear in S-Mode. That is the factory setup and is due to German Autobahn. Nothing more annoying than a transmission shifting back and forth between 5th and 6th Gear on steady 200km/h+ drives. On the other side, customers in other countries use S-Mode as Standard mode and complain about bad mileage on the highway. The standard maps mostly use 6th Gear in S-Mode, as most of our customer base does not have the pleasure of unlimited motorways. To end this struggle, customers can choose to lockout 6th Gear in S-Mode.
