Valet/Kids Mode limits your car's performance, restricting max. revs to 2,500–3,000 RPM (depending on vehicle), locks the transmission in its slowest operating mode and disables launch control/brake booster. Safely lend your high-performance vehicle to your children or ensure the garage mechanic does not show off your car to his mates. Valet Mode can be applied to any map and works safely in all driving environments.

With this option, you can adjust the RPM target when going full throttle. You can set different RPM values for D-Mode, S-Mode and M-Mode for each gear.

This panel allows you to set the electronic torque limiter for each gear. Limiting torque in the lower gears, especially on high-performance RWD cars, can improve traction and make them easier to drive. Different gears have different torque capacities (e.g. 6th gear in an 8-speed), so limiting torque per gear can help prevent clutch slippage on tuned cars.

True Manual means that when you're in manual mode, the car won't upshift when the engine reaches the redline. Instead, it will run into the RPM limiter — just like a car with a manual transmission. The RPM limiter will still protect the engine from over-revving. xHP allows you to activate/deactivate True Manual for specific modes or switch it on/off generally.

Limit Gears lets you restrict the transmission to a specific gear range by setting minimum and/or maximum gear limits. When active, the gearbox will not select any gear below or above these thresholds, overriding all internal and external requests. This function ignores automatic overrides like emergency upshifts, overheating behaviour, incline detection, or DME torque-based gear changes. It is designed for motorsport and testing applications, such as keeping the car in 5th gear on a dyno to avoid unwanted upshifts, or locking higher gears for drag racing consistency.

With this setting you can disable the temperature monitoring model of the transmission, the TCU and the torque converter. Power will not be reduced in case of overheating, e.g. during brake-boosting.

⚠ Not recommended for road cars. Only use this function for racing purposes. Serious risk to drivetrain components in case of misuse!

Drag Race Mode is designed to get the most out of your transmission and improve your 0–60 and 60–120 times! Torque reduction during shifts is completely disabled, shift pressures are maxed out and clutch protection thresholds are raised so you can put the full power of your engine to the ground no matter what happens.

Drag Race Mode is automatically engaged during Launch Control and in Sport+/DSC OFF (8-speed) or Manual (6-speed) mode when above approximately 40% throttle. Normal daily driving in Comfort mode is unaffected.

xHP lets you adjust parameters like launch-RPM, wheel-slip, brake-boost torque and much more to help you improve your performance off the line! Your BMW's launch control is configured for a stock vehicle, but on tuned vehicles this needs to be readjusted to get optimal performance. Easy-to-understand sliders make adjustments to your Launch Control a matter of seconds.

Save lots of shifts during city driving by applying this function. The transmission will always stay in 2nd gear at standstill, which creates a relaxed and very comfortable driving experience.

You can freely configure the clutch engagement RPM and how fast the clutch kicks in on your DCT transmission! Whether you want to have an effective launch, or just let your rear tyres create long rubber-marks is up to you.

Choose whether the transmission shifts to 1st or 2nd Gear when stopped in M-Mode.

For very high-power applications, we recommend activating the Line Pressure Bump. This will further increase the transmission line pressure by approx. 15% to increase the torque capacity of the transmission.

The Line Pressure is dependent on actual torque from the engine and this option is only active in high-torque situations, not during normal cruising. Only activate if needed, e.g. when getting Clutch-Slip in 6th Gear (8HP) or 4th Gear (6HP).

This custom setting can be used to disable decoupling permanently. Decoupling at a standstill is a comfort and fuel economy feature of 6-Speed and 8-Speed transmissions that minimizes vibration at a standstill and reduces fuel consumption. However, it can cause problems on older transmissions (jerkiness) and/or may add some lag when taking off. Disabling gives a more direct response when taking off.

Save up to 0.5L/100km with our ECO-Mode! This function sets your transmission to ECO-Mode but without the sluggish throttle response usually associated with ECO-Pro mode. This makes saving fuel much easier and more comfortable than the factory ECO-Pro mode. The function is only active in D-Comfort; other driving modes (D-Sport, S-Sport, manual, etc.) are unaffected.

Coasting allows the car to disengage from gear and idle or stop the engine as soon as the driver releases the accelerator. This function can be used to suppress coasting.

The Stop-Go function makes the transmission stay in 2nd Gear at a standstill when a traffic jam situation is recognized. You can choose to turn this function on or off!

Most BMWs shut down their engines when coming to a full stop in Comfort Mode. You can use this function to suppress Start/Stop completely.

Choose if your vehicle starts moving as soon as you release the brake, or only when touching the throttle.

In 6-speed gearboxes, the lock-up clutch remains open during cold running to deliberately create slippage in the torque converter. This function allows the user to disable the warm-up phase and skip the torque converter slip for the first few minutes of driving. After a few seconds of driving, the lock-up clutch starts to work.

Many BMW standard calibrations use higher shift points in cruise mode when the gear lever is in "S" or "Sport/Sport+". For example, the transmission won't engage 8th gear during cruise in Sport mode.

If this option is switched on, the transmission maintains the normal, lower shift points in cruise mode, even in sport modes.

This setting allows you to switch off certain drive modes. There are 7 possible settings: D/S/M (stock), only D/M, only D/S, only S/M, only D, only S, or only M. Depending on the configuration, certain modes are omitted and the reaction to driver inputs on the Gear Lever and Paddles changes accordingly.

Examples:
• Setting "D/M": This will directly shift to M when the gear lever is moved to the left (instead of going to S-Mode). Also a long pull on the + Paddle will switch the trans between D and M.
• "Only M": This will delete D and S modes, so the trans will always be in M-Mode as soon as you leave P (Parking Position).
• "Only D": The trans will always be in D mode. Manual operation is no longer possible.

With this setting, you can disable the Kickdown switch. The extra downshift initiated through Kickdown will be suppressed.

Easily adjust the aggressiveness of your downshift blips! You can change the intensity of your blips by ±50%. Higher values result in more audible and faster blips but can be uncomfortable. Lower values will result in slower but smoother rev-matching.

This setting lets you lock out the 6th gear in S mode.

You can toggle the Gear-Display in D-Mode.

xHP lets you adjust the transmission to changed rear-axles. With adjusting the transmission to a new rear-axle ratio, fault codes and/or limp-mode will be triggered.
