Alpina B3 transmission flash

WPG D33Z · 04-09-2013, 11:49 AM

Got my cable last night, going to try tonight!

cheshirecat79 · 04-09-2013, 02:09 PM

Let us know how it turns out.

I've gotta get on this and get it done. So much stuff to wade through on the *********** thread.

WPG D33Z · 04-11-2013, 12:04 PM

Fighting with the stupid software still trying to get it to work! Should have just paid a remote coder lol

cheshirecat79 · 04-11-2013, 01:33 PM

Haha. It's probably just me, but it seems pretty complicated to sort though. Chances are, once you do it, it's pretty simple.

ripper0306 · 04-11-2013, 03:10 PM

Who can provide Details/Steps or a 'How to'
I already have the cable and coded options/features in my car.

I want to try this so bad

Hope it will be ok with my arriving Cobb AP.

WPG D33Z · 04-11-2013, 06:58 PM

Turn out I bought the wrong cable, I got the one with the white board and should have bought the green. Ordered a new one from a US seller on ebay, hopefully USPS is nice and quick

Do you have the main procedure/DIY ?

cheshirecat79 · 04-12-2013, 09:39 AM

This is the cable that I purchased- the one that's suggested on all the threads.

Hahaha. Actually, that wouldn't be a problem. I have it all done and I dig it a lot.

Hit me up on PM and we will figure something out.

I wanna attempt this also. I have the cable on its way to me and i'm in the process of downloading all the necessary files. I'm hoping someone thats done this can answer a few quick questions: 1.) what version of the spdaten file do i need? 2.)what version of the INPA Ediabas w/WINKFP do i need?

You use WINKFP to program and EDIABAS to communicate with the car (it runs in the background).

EDIABAS 7.2.0 works fine along with WinKFP 5.1.x

For the SP-Daten, you'll need the full version which is over 10GB as the "lite" version doesn't have the files for the transmission. v48.1 and v49.0 work fine, but 49 is in german.

If you have a tune, you just need to set the map to 0 or turn it off before you flash.

Newbie here with E88 2011 135i N55 AT. This is my first time flashing using tutorial: youtube.com/watch?v=tT1GyveMK0k&t=243s

I'm using WinKFP with ECU family GKE215 with ZB-number 7615835. Is that the one we're supposed to use? Is the ECU and ZB-number same across different E-series cars?

I believe the Alpina B3 transmission flash is for the Steptronic Transmission, not the DCT. If you have a 2011 N55 135i you have the DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission).

2008-2010 N54 135i came with either a 6-speed manual or the Steptronic Transmission.

2011-2013 N55 135i/135is came with either a 6-speed manual or the Dual Clutch Transmission.

Hope this helps.
