ESS VT2-595 with GTS Flash?

General.Massacre · 07-17-2020, 02:48 AM

Hi all.

I am very new here, and although i am not an M3 owner (I have a DCT 335i), i am working on an M3, and a friend of mine owns a 2012 M3 with the ESS VT2-595 Supercharger kit.
Car is amazing and has no issues.

He has asked me if i can load up the GTS flash onto his DCT, and id like to ask if this is safe?

Ill be using WinKFP ZB#7848442 as the flash.

Would like to ask if there will be any interference with the Current software from ESS, (I know the DME and TCU are seperate entities), but none the less, just need to be sure.

I have done a lot of reading and searching, but nothing that ive found definitive yet.

Thank you in advance to all.

General.

It shouldn't interfere.

Thank you. I eventually went ahead and did the update.
The flash went well. My friend is very happy with the flash update and is very impressed.

I have done it on a SC'd E92, it shouldn't interfere w the software, as transmission and engine SW are separate.
I would suggest to do a DCT adaptation via ISTA, it improves drivability.
