I am not sure if the dealer would consider this a aftermarket "Tune", considering it is BMW software, but perhaps Alex or others can comment on that.

I also had the GTS software installed from Alex, along with a bunch of other coding goodies, and it was worth every penny. Along with his amazing pricing, his service and wealth of information many aspects on the platform was well worth the trip.

This is a must for anyone on the fence for this update.

I have a small leak on the pan. Not sure if I can risk the dealer blaming it on the GTS tune. You never know with these guys.

They didn't cover it so I fixed it myself.

I dealt with Alex yesterday, truly nice guy.
Pleasant to work with, I like the fact I can now watch dvd on the go, no more idrive disclaimer, Euro MDM is terrific.

After reading this thread, I also dealt with Alex for a GTS tune and some coding.

Seriously a stand up guy. I can't wait to get it all flashed to the car.

Really? Dealer replaced my pan no questions asked. Software was on the car.

I have the BMW extended warranty. That does not cover gaskets. Frickin ripoff

Just finished getting the DCT flash. Alex was totally awesome to work with and made the whole thing move along quite seamlessly. Customer service is top notch and the product is worth every penny and more.

Thanks again, Alex!!

I still need to sit down and have you do one last check before I send your cable back. It's been so hectic at work, sorry bro.

I can do it all remotely, I have done many customers in Canada, including Vancouver, send me an email if you like alex@alpinemss.com

franco209 · 07-08-2014, 10:34 PM

Got mine yesterday. Just like the others mentioned, shifting is way better than before.

Thanks Alex!

Had Alex do the GTS coding on Friday, and could immediately feel the improvement. All the good things written in this thread are true.

Also had him reprogram the traction control to Euro MDM which is definitely less intrusive, and works much better on the track (if like me you're not confident enough to turn it all the way off).

Alex was great, super easy, great value.

The GTS flash will go into Drive when you tap the lever to the right instead of going into Sport mode. If you go directly into Sport by default, you do not have the GTS flash.

carlitosway6891 · 07-15-2016, 11:10 PM

it does go straight into sport mode. so how do I get a hold of the person selling the tune?

I am honestly impressed with how good the transmission performs. I have read a lot of ppl say it's night and day difference tho so I can't wait to feel how improved the tune will make the car!

Old thread revival...
Got the ECU tune from Alex last week, and yesterday placed the order for the Coding and GTS DCT Tune. Cant wait to receive the cable and get coded/tuned. Im based all the way in the UAE. Circle back once the deed is done with a review.
