To be honest, I'm already getting tired of the 537 after driving for couple hundred miles with it... The D mode is pretty much useless. I don't understand how people live with the Alpina flash for any period of time. Unless there's something wrong with my car, the low RPM upshifts go against everything that our 1ers are about - it literally takes away the fun of driving.
I'm in 6th gear at 40-45Mph!

I wonder if anyone actually had a chance to drive the Alpina B3 car that this flash is intended for, as it is (for me) hard to believe BMW would release anything like that.

Sorry about the rant... lol
