On Bmw’s with the zf automatic transmissions we offer a stage 1, 2, or 3 map for the transmission designed to alter the torque limits thereby offering better acceleration smoother and quicker changes and better fuel economy

Stage 1 .

• Optimized D Shift points to facilitate sporty, yet economy style driving

• Optimized Shift Strategy for up/downhill driving -

• Optimized Warmup Behavior - Optimized Torque Converter Lockup in 1st/2nd/3rd gear

• Lowered minimum RPM limit manual mode

• Adapted Torque Limits for Tuned engines -

• Gear Display in Dash in D/S/M Modes (where supported)

stage 2.

• Optimized D & S Shift points for better acceleration in part and full throttle situations

• -Firmer, sportier upshifts in D/S/M mode - Faster paddle response time

• -Optimized Shift Strategy for up/downhill driving - Optimized Warmup Behavior

• Optimized Torque Converter Lockup in 1st/2nd/3rd gear

• Raised Torque Limits for Tuned engines - Gear Display in Dash in D/S/M Modes (where supported)

Stage 3

• Optimized D & S Shift points for better acceleration in part and full throttle situations

• Race-like upshifts with TQ increase - Shift times approx. 50% faster in S/M Modes -

• Shift times approx. 25% faster in D Mode -

• True Manual mode (no automatic upshifts in M mode) - Automatic Rev-Matching (Throttle – Blip) on Downshifts in S/M Modes

• Faster paddle response time

• Optimized Shift Strategy for up/downhill driving

• Optimized Warmup behavior - Optimized Torque Converter Lockup in 1st/2nd/3rd gear

• Even more raised Torque Limits for Tuned engines - Gear Display in Dash in D/S/M Modes (where supported)
