Has anyone tried it or has any information if it's a legit TCU custom flash or just another fake Alpina flash scam.???

Looks to be more than the Alpina flash... If this is legit, this is now 2-3 companies that can tune the TCU. Hopefully this will make it affordable.

Here is another

Note: I don't know anything about it, just something that was passed on to me for my opinion, but I have none as I don't have a 6AT and never seen logs to verify these claims.

Nizpro, and I think Propulsive Dynamics. These are the guys that are building up 6AT transmissions for our cars. They just started so I don't know about pricing or options.

I think these are the same guys at VR Tuned. There have been a few horror stories with Vivid.

Hm. Is a flash really worth 500$???

Just get a coder to flash the Alternate alpina Flash 7603537. Best thing out there for an E series 335i.

I know about the alpina flash. Just curious why he's telling people to stay away from this one. Does he know something others don't? If so, he should share.

Sounds like an Alpina flash, just re-worded

I was the one who passed it on to BQ and i couldn't find a single review specifically for the autoflash after lengthy searching. I'll still keep them on my radar until some feedback surfaces though. I have zero personal knowledge of that company but to be fair, you can probably find negative reviews for most online sellers if you look hard enough.
