Maunal shifting points on 335xi with SSTT help

ironmicd · 03-01-2008, 03:30 PM

While this is a question posted for shifting times (RPM's) with a Turbo Tune installed, it actaully may still be the same points for a 6MT without one.

I currently have a 6mt 335XI with a SSTT installed. I am trying to determine the best points to shift in order to obtain the best 0-80 times. I have added a guideline bellow. Who knows, it may be an interesting discussion on where/when to shift to post the fastest times. Thanks!

2nd Gear:
3rd Gear:
4th Gear:
5th Gear:
6th Gear: (in my opinion you wont hit it at 80)

How do you like the SSTT with the XI? I just got my XI the other day and will be putting the TT on.

As far as shifts points MAX IT OUT i would shift at 6500 rpm. But I have a Auto so.

I just put in yesterday, and to be honest at first I couldn't feel any difference, but beleive there is some now on the top end. I def thought I would feel it more on the 0-30 time but think it's better suited for the higher speeds. I can feel it in 3rd gear but nothing much before IMOP. Still too early to say much more. I did install the K&N Air filter today so possibly that will make a slight improvement as well. I will post more once I have a chance to drive it around a bit more....

I might be shifting early then about 5200 RPM.....

most people get there best times shifting with DS which goes to redline or a bit shy of it. just to get a idea. it feel the best by redlining 1st, 6k shifting 2nd, 6k shift 3rd, the rest redline.
btw give it some time ti adapt u will def feel the increase in power. dont expect a M3 type powerband, it will still be smooth.

what he said haha! i could definitely feel mine when i step on it.

I don't know if XI will make a difference, but I shift at 6500 since the rest to redline is just lost hp.

The SSTT mirrors the stock curve so the increase is deceptive. You should definately rev it higher you really will feel the difference around 4500 rpm and up. I have had mine for a few months and took it off today (taking my car in for service). Stock the car pulls smoothly, with the SSTT their is more of an aggressive character to the car. I have an I and in first gear with the stock rubber it is impossible to hook up under full throttle.
Find a stock 335xi and you will walk away from him.
By the way 10 min (i have big hands)to remove and i am ready to bring the car in for service -priceless
