Might just got slotted/drilled DBA rotors with some good pads.

Trying to contact my mate to get a hold of this CIC system and a better gearbox TCU so i can run that xhp next month and flash my tranny.

Would be lots cheaper Upgraded brakes are great but really only benefit peeps who track their car IMO

Not sure TBH
I always check the part numbers for my cars vin on Realoem.
That way it's 99.9% certain to fit

Somehow this actually isn't true.

Not sure if I made a mistake but I ordered windscreen wipers blades recently using my VIN and Realoem to get the part number, then purchased the part number from FCP euro.

I was sent American blades there's are the opposite of our and don't fit :/

Maybe they sent the wrong ones..

I made this mistake too
I actually removed the clip and turned it 180 degrees and clipped it back in
Instant RHD wipers

Not sure I can do that, my blades are different

Yeah relying on real OEM isn't accurate so i hear, waiting on a reply from a supplier from the US in regards to rotors wanna go drilled and slotted with some pads that generally don't make noise. (ceramic?) i have read of people using F30 brakes, that'd be nice and something i am looking into.

Also been interested in this since i first noticed it: 'xHP Flashtool
is the worldwide first and complete Tuning-Solution for your BMW with ZF6HP automatic transmission. '
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1347613
also approved for beta testing the xhp flashtool for trans-tuning the ZF6HP for petrol engines as i am going to be converting valve bodies/TCU from a 06/14/07 trans which 101duck is supplying as i am unable to flash my transmission and has been wearing me as my build date is 10/10/06 leaving me unable to flash even the Alpina B3 Flash, that and changing my fluids and what not in mine hasn't improved shifting even after adaption resets... might just swap complete gearbox's yet still deciding depending on gasket costs for the valve body mechtranical (spelling?) sleeve as well...

Having the gearbox dropped down thursday hopefully

Hardcore mate.... good luck

[MMM335]

Ok real OEM lists my gearbox as a zf6hp19 when it is infact a zf6hp21 which all 335i coupes have from factory, upon research the zf6hp21 is the exact same as the 19 despite pressure plates, the zf6hp19 thats flash-able with alpina and upgraded TCU is zf6hp19TU rather then zf6hp19z which is equivalent to the 21.


^ tranny plate

^ updating winfpk and using virtual machine on the single turbo alienware

^ Alpina flash not possible wrong hardware number meaning my gearbox has the old TCU

Was supposed to get up today to meet 101duck, but i put my phone on airplane mode last night when coding set my alarm to not hear it lol.. now i gotta wait till sunday.

Bruh if you can code tranny flashes can you do my dct ?

[MMM335]

i can code anything man sure, i could code all your modules and update them if you wish @MJ80.

[MMM335]

Coded MJ80's car to run launch control, and realized i need that bonnet.

You were right.

I had to remove the clip off the blade and reverse it, and also had to remove the connector from the old blades and reuse them.
