Im really thinking it's finally fixed. But I'm scared as heck to use anyones EGS flash, so I might leave that and just go with a tune.

Yeah , here in S6 and with my BPM/Tune and DCT/Software Upgrade it kicks really a$$ !

Still no issues.

Little bump. No issues with shifting yet, but when doing my exhaust I did see the pan is leaking...

Booking for replacement soon. Maybe a new batch of fluid and filter will do her some good.

It's a complete kit with sealings,filters,9.5 liters of Pentosin ect...
Make sure you get the "Pentosin" oil for our DCT trans. and not oil for MT =>http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=360259
Keep in mind the complete kit is not cheap and one day of labor .

It's free with warranty though...

Also, if I was to do it out of warranty I'd do it at my work.

Car goes in Wednesday... Let's hope they fix the damn leak.

BMW is warrantying the DCT! oil pan and mechatronic gaskets being replaced, along with fluid. Finally...

Feels good to read that kind of comment .
Hope to see your car is soon for 100% ok !

Glad to hear it worked out for you. I found a small leak on my mechatronics gasket after I bought my car recently. Tracked it 2 days without issue then had a local shop replace the gasket. No issues since and now I have the BPM tune and love it.

Alohaaaaa · 05-07-2015, 09:44 PM

Picking her back up tomorrow! Damn BMW worked fast!

I also ordered a tune from Mike

And some goodies from IND... And a set of extended DCT paddles...

My cable is sitting at the FedEx facility down the street, but they can't release it until Monday because Customs hasn't cleared it

My DCT feels like a whole new machine! No more weird shifts, no weird noises, and it shifts smooooooth.

Not yet. Gonna leave the DCT stock a month or so before I do anything to it.

When I got my BPM/DCT sofware upgrade...That was really WOW !
It kicks in the a$$ , lightning fast shifts and really smooth , my second gear lag was gone too !
Difference between stock vs BPM is huge , and makes the car faster , because shifts are faster .
Now my shifts are just perfection with BPM..

Hi Guys,

Really hoping you can help.

I got the alpine gts flash done on my car and I started to have my DCT violating stalling.

I thought it was version issues from my ecu and my tcu but Alex told me its 240, there isnt much changes.

What was the exact issue here that caused the violent stalls? Was it really a DCT leak?
