Perfect for me at least. My car is a daily. I want it to get up and go when I step on it, to be quick in traffic, but not to be too jerky or rowdy. I've messed around with different tunes, settings, etc. This is what I finally settled on that works perfectly for me:
BM3 Stage 2 + XHP Stage 3 + comfort mode + shifter pulled to the left (S). Also VRSF DP & IC, Burger intake, Dinan res delete, and Remus Race Exhaust I used to never drive in anything but sport mode. My mileage sucked though. Like 13 miles per gallon. It was also just a little too jumpy at times. Shifting was not smooth. The big discovery was the stage three transmission tune. That in comfort mode with the shifter pulled to the left is the perfect balance of drivability when just tooling around, but also ready to attack when you step on it. And quick, smooth shifts at all times. The feel of the transmission with this combo is very much like my old 135i DCT, which I loved. Also, the burbles are not so obnoxious. I like a little rumble, but the pops and bangs are not my thing. I could never get that fine-tuned in sport mode. Now in comfort, it's perfect. People like their cars different ways I realize. But this new combination has been a revelation for me. |

Does XHP only tune the shift points with the shifter is in S?
Comfort mode can't be tuned? Nice review, I'm in the same boat as you but may go MHD instead.

Again, no expert, but it seems to change shift points as well as just the nature of those shifts. The overall word is smooth and feels right. I had BM3 first and then switch to MHD for a couple of months. I honestly didn't love it. Not enough juice. Bummer that apparently you can't transfer these licenses, so it's money flushed for me. The tune by phone was nice, but now BM3 does the same thing. |

You can sell the bootmod3 once, this is very helpful for the same owner transferring the license to a new car they bought without having to pay for a new license.

You can transfer MHD, but the only way to do it is to give them the email and password to the account you signed up for. They don't make it easy for sure.
