xHP Gearbox Tuning Preston
Official xHP dealer — ranked No.2 worldwide. ZF8 & DCT Stage 1–3 flashed in-house, around 35 minutes from Preston down the M6.
Serving Preston BMW Drivers
Preston BMW drivers are a straight run down the M6 from one of xHP's top-ranked dealers worldwide — currently No.2. ZF8 and DCT flashes are carried out in-house at our Warrington workshop, usually while you wait.
Whether it's a 530d cruiser needing crisper shifts or an M140i after launch control, xHP transforms the gearbox — and pairs perfectly with a Stage 1 remap on our 4WD dyno in the same visit.

In-House 4WD Dyno

The engine map adds the torque — xHP raises the gearbox limits to use it. Doing both together on our V-Tech 4WD linked dyno means the whole drivetrain is proven as one, with a before-and-after printout to take away.
