I saw a few thread but haven't seen anyone gotten to change it here in the US. Have a few questions. Does it shift up and down any faster? Did anyone find a dealer to program it in the states? If no one is there a way to ship it to one of the company to program it beside shipping the whole car? thanks

 

I would assume this would be a lottttttt of money. So much in fact it would be a better idea to trade the 997.1 in for the 997.2 and not only get the PDK but reap the benefits of all the other upgrades as well. I'm sure others that know a lot more will chime in.

 

From reading what's required doesn't look like much, new steering wheel, airbag, control module and program. Hoping to keep this 1 and a adding a different beast next year instead of upgrading to a new model if I can get it to shift more like a pdk. Anyone can shim in how's the shifts are? Thanks

 

PDK is a different transmission altogether, changing to paddles will not change a tiptronic transmission to pdk. You could do a steering swap and use the paddles from a PDK car but the shifts will remain the same.

 

oops totally misread this lol

 

I just want to know if it up shifts any better then it is now. that's my only complaint on this tiptronic. Beside turbo lag but that's a whole different section lol. I should word the topic better. Wanting to do the steering wheel with paddle shift. Any better shift response by doing this. Thanks

 

BMW can you post pics of your car. That i the exact car I wanted. That color and the Tip trans. How do you like the car?

 

Don't have much pics but here you go

 

It's awesome dude! Congrats. I will own one some day

 

Thats a beauty.

 

As a recent owner, I can't even begin to tell you how surreal it's going to feel the day you pick one up.

 

Thanks, I recently purchased this. First thing I had to do was exhaust and tune. I told myself leave it stock lmfao sure 2 days later its in the shop for straight exhaust and next day tuning showed up lol. This is all I'm going to do lol unless someone can show me this paddle shift faster then this Damn button I have lol. Already beating a friends Gallardo supperlegga with exhaust and tune. Even when I have ac on lol

 

I want to keep my car and get one soon!! Maybe in a year I will pick one up. Glad you are enjoying yours. They are sweet

 

You can change Tiptronic internals for faster shifting and higher torque limits. There is some shops specialized on it but i think that Esmotor is the king on it. Just make a search on this forum about it. You will find tons of info here.

It won't shift as fast as pdk but is capable to suport 2x the power that the pdk can handle today.

 

Your not the only one.
