You need ZF8HP70 transmission. If you have that you’re good to go!

Well ZF8HP70 was installed in many models. Will look and try. Are you willing to do this remotely, not for free obvoulsy )

If you have anything other then 335d/535d Alpina flash is not the best option
Alpina was specifically designed for 3.0d twin turbo specifications, and even in the 335d/535d this map isnt ideal.
The Alpina 3,0d compromises different turbos then a regular 35d car, a much smaller turbo which comes on boost alot quicker and a different final drive.
In a 35d car this works sort of ok, but not ideal. Theres a lot of engine lugging and vibrations ( you can see this by simply monitoring MAP values) car demands full boost which isnt there yet!
So in anything other then a twin turbo, Alpina flash will have a negative impact. To put it in a summary, its like putting your car in 4th gear while you only need 3rd gear and then you try to accelerate.
