question about 8 speed transmission

[leo89810]

Hi guys, I am a new bmw owner, and I wish to do some ecu tuning for my f30 335i xdrive, from 225kw, 306ps, 400nm to 288kw, 392ps and 516nm, however this car is fitted with a 8 speed automatic sport transmission, is this transmission system could bear this amount of torque?

That is a huge power increase, what are you doing to get that much power out of your 335i?

A German company called racechip provide this chiptuning product. http://www.racechip.de/en/chiptuning...25kw/index.php

seems quite expensive, do u think its worth the money and safe to install?

That seems like a lot of power increase. If they're saying the car can make that much I would assume they've tested it as well?

I asked them about the same question, and they said its no problem because the transmission could take up to 600nm torque, it looks like a quality company for me, wish someone here used the product from them before so I can have some reference.
