I'm not really in a rush, i only drive my car in the summer (roads are terrible up here in Canada in the winter, not to mention the salt)
and i will be saving quite a bit with skipping the CANTCU.

do you know anyone who has done a swap from a e series?

I would have a look for yourself, but I found almost no information out there. If you want to skip the CANTCU/Lamik, go with a 6hp28.

I was also wondering this. The Lamik I heard is best. You have limited options for the OEM route. Not sure if anyone has successfully done it.

Hello everyone. I too have recently done the 8hp45 swap on my 07 e90 N54. Everything works great. no codes or anything weird. Except for i get a constant Transmission failure display on the instrument cluster and the media center but only in 8th gear. Does anyone know how to disable this so can actually see my center display on the cluster not a constant gear. again this only happens in 8th gear. Is there a way to update the setting on the cluster? What app or software do i need to fix the configuration. I also get a fuel pump error message as i have done some fuel pump modifications. how can i remove these error messages.

the cluster goes from 1-7 and then 8th i get the dreaded gear symbol. This does not affect drivability at all its just an error message. help me turn this off.
Thank you all.
