I reflashed it back to stock and refreshed XHP, had to use Xdelete to get the car home in 1st gear. I'm not sure how to post a video on here. I was hoping maybe someone has had a similar situation.

They're all over the UK, you just need to find someone that is willing to ship to the states. It can be done.

As 8HP70 comes on the alpina b3, has anyone tried flashing the alpina software?
