Review: G87 LCI Flash +CS/CSL Transmission Flash by kubax86

First thanks to e90ftw for posting about this and making the community aware of it.

24 G87 is totally stock and currently have no plans to do a full DME unlock. I figured this was a nice option to keep the cars software updated and not a terrible amount of risk. I checked out the options and gave kubax86(bimmer remote coding) a try.
Like e90ftw said the power from 2000 rpms has improved. There was kind of a dead spot/lag until it got higher in the rpms before. New flash is super smooth like a stock map should be. The transmission seems to shift smoother in normal mode and faster and smoother in M1 sport settings.
You don't need anything fancy to get the flash. Your DME doesn't need to be unlocked. Just a laptop, good network connection and the obd to rj45 cable. Kubax86 works fast and communicated with me while he was working. Car was done faster then I expected. I am personally happy with the results.

My car is a manual and I am going this route as well.

Hi mate, I have a 2024 G87 6MT with the Race Chip tune. Just wondering if there is any benefit if I get LCI or CS/CSL flash. I would like to achieve improved low-end power and better and smoother driveability.
