35i with Alpina (old/alternate) flash

d-A-w · 10-24-2020, 10:25 PM

I thought maybe someone on this forum would know.

I've got a 35i, with:
- the Alpina B3 old/alternate trans flash #7603537)
- JB4, with BEF through MHD (with soft burbles)

I got the shift paddles back after the Alpina flash, following the procedure normally.

Later, I realised that my Eco Pro button, which used to turn it into a slow responding throttle, has now turned into a "Pro" like mode instead.

When I give 10%, it's like opening the throttle 100%. At the same time, the Eco Pro activation shuts off MHD's set burbles, so it is now a quiet & quick mode.

Can I code something to turn the function upside down with NCSexpert or what not?

Would it do the same thing with the standard 7615835 flash? Or would upgrading to xHP reestablish the EcoPro option?

My 2015 X1 xDrive35i has both the Alpina transmission flash & MHD Stage 1+ mods installed. Alas, using the dreaded Eco Pro mode still just neuters the powertrain to make it feel like I'm driving an under-powered 4-Cylinder car from the 80's!

Do you have the 7615835 or 7603537 Alpina flash?

I swear, if I hold the gas pedal, cruising, and push to activate EcoPro, it's like I just pushed the pedal further. If I do launch from a stop, I don't need to press that much and it's like it's at 100%, so that kicks like hell.

Sorry, I did the coding a couple of years ago using instructions I cobbled together from the Internet. I don’t recall which version of the Alpina flash I installed. Is there some way to tell w/o having to start practicing my German again? Anyway to have the car display those numbers to me? If so, I can take a look ...
