[QUOTE="SilverBullet, post: 724645, member: 11244"] Hi bro. There is a DIY (for 335i) for this gbox flash using WinKFP. The link can be referred here ([URL="http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=873746"]http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=873746[/URL]) and I have also pasted the basic guides below. Alternatively since this is the software for Alpina B3 335i, unless the same software is compatible, you would need the Alpina D3 software for diesel. Hence you can contact Freddie from Obermaier Jalan Ipoh (012-3335011) for his expert services he offered last time. Oh I used to feel that nuisance too when first driving the 335i, until I discovered need to put the gear stick in DS mode and then use paddle shifters to play with the gears manually, then the gear would hold irregardless of the rpm.
