Alpina flash SoCal

For those that have flashed their cars how is it in SoCal traffic? Where did you get it done?

Just got my car flashed yesterday, then had to drive from culver city to West Covina right after, I have no complaints. I feel like the transmission shifter earlier when I left it in D, it flet a bit more efficient. As for the flash itself, it's great, I highly recommend it, downshifts are awesome, up shifts are quick and very linear. Suits my driving style much better than the stock TCU software.

Alex does great work, love the new shifts with paddles in sport, and D is so smooth

How much does the alpina flash cost?
I'll be honest and I have only done minimal research on the flash, but it only affects the transmission and revving yes? No HP gains right?

That's correct. And through Alex the flash costs 60. Or 100 with coding.
