PM him. Believe the full flash package is $159, but he can verify your settings for you also. Easy process and glad I did it, since he showed me that Thor coded the incorrect settings

Just PM him, I don't want to post what he charged me but it was much less than the Thor package

Ouch! I was about to purchase a Thor license. Other than coders, what app options are available to flash DCT, DSC, steering, LSD? I was also interested in trying the CS EDC from Thor.

There really isn't any. You'll need to ask someone to code it for you.

It's basically a one and done type deal unless you get an istep update from the bmw dealer.

I had to go through my bank for a refund and provided my bank email correspondence between Thor and I. They said they will refund, and had to email them about 3-4 times with no response. I also DM'd their IG with no responses.

Also I was passed 90 days and my bank (BofA) was still able to help me with refunding the money. Annoying that I had to go that route.

Hope this helps any of you that paid and didn't receive the product.

Thank you, I am in the process of trying to get a refund, so will see how that goes

Glad I saw this post. I bought the THOR OBD tool first because I had a few things left to do to the car before I was going to flash it. Do we know if the THOR OBD is compatible with XHP or do I just have a fancy-looking paperweight now?

After reading these posts, I contacted Kubax86 to see if the previous Thor flashes were valid on my M3. They were not. Steering and EDC weren’t changed. Diff and DSC were for the M2. He ended up correcting all these to CS versions. What a difference. His service was excellent and I highly recommend him to anyone.

Is there a substitute for Thor to allow for Euro MDM, Diff changes, and adjustments to steering?

I get that XHP is great for the transmission stuff but interested in the other options Thor offered (as an all-in-one solution as opposed to individual coding)

After reading this thread I PMed Kubax to check and redo my EPS, DIFF, gearbox for both M3 and M2. The results are night and day. Thor did a mess on my car and they drive so well now after the coding.

Kubax is professional and all processes went smoothly. I really recommend people who have used Thor in the past to redo the coding with Kubax. He also provides other coding and if you are interested in please check his website: https://bimmer-remote.com

Does anyone know if you can still connect to the Thor app to change settings e.g. stock, CS, GTS? I'm scared to connect it to my car at this point.

I currently have Thor and would like to go back to stock if I have to using their app.

I checked out your website and it offers some pretty great options. I'm basically set for the GTS Performance Flash for M3/M4 but it says that this does NOT void the warranty - which would be great. Can you clarify how that is so?

I’m also interested in going with GTS flash plus CS EDC. But I’ve read mixed reviews on CS EDC. If I want to go back to stock Comp EDC after trying CS, that was the the one benefit Thor had.

It’s all OEM software. We don’t touch engine ecu (DME) so it’s actually like a normal coding.

Yes, the biggest benefit of Thor was the ability to change it on your own. Not that I plan to mess with it too much once it's all properly setup, but what if I don't like one of the settings on the GTS package (for example, the EDC per above)? Is tweaking it a little bit included, or do we have to pay to have it all recoded?

If you had previously coded through Thor, I would reach out to Kubax and have him verify and code everything correctly
I had the exact same problem with the diff, DSC and steering. Kubax86 fixed mine as well. This is a trash app..
