Approximately $185 USD for the License and another $185 for the map pack. Here is an explanation of each map

STAGE 1
Stage 1 files are made to enhance mileage and comfort. Shiftpoints are adapted to make optimal use of your engines torque and keep revs low and steady all the time. Gearbox Torque Limiters are removed to open the way for proper operation when paired with tuned engines.

STAGE 2
Stage 2 files focus on the sporty aspects, without compromising comfort. Shiftpoints and Clutch-Pressures are adapted to speed up shifting and reduce reaction times.

STAGE 3
Stage 3 Maps are made for everyone having fun driving fast and going to race-tracks. While the standard D-Mode mostly retains factory smoothness the Sport and Manual modes are optimized for the fastest shifts possible. Eventually features like Launch Control and "True Manual Mode" are added.
Gear box torque limiter removed. So those of us with tunes aren't actually getting all the torque available down low? Can someone explain just how much torque we would need to actually take advantage of this?

I took my X6 on a rally after having it tuned again after passing emissions. And I have to say I really can't see how much faster the transmission can get when shifting. At least not worth spending a couple hundred. But I'm hoping to be proven wrong. I love improving the car, just want to actually improve it instead of just doing it for the hell of it.
