Can anyone remotely flash my 2015 x1 n55 with the alpina transmission flash or can do it near South Central Pa?

What do you mean? You can do the alpina or the xhp for the n55?

I’m genuinely confused at what you’re saying. People on the forum have both of these on their n55 engines with zero issues. And I’m curious who can do it for me because I am not comfortable flashing myself

Good luck finding someone to flash, why are you not comfortable? With MHD or Bootmod3 it’s pretty straight forward (but I’m not sure those would have the exact tune you’re looking for).

It’s pretty foolproof, and the risk of a remote tune is the same as you doing it (example tou open the door while tuning yourself or remotely, and having to re-do the process because the car won’t start).

Just fasten your seat belt (literally) and go for it.

Im sorry I understand what you are saying now and didn't realize that. Thank you. I do have MHD stage 2+ and that flashing is relatively easy. I'm looking to also do the transmission flash

Yes I’m fully confident in the bootmod and mhd I just hate the way the trans shifts even with mhd. The alpina and the xhp seem to get rid of where it lacks
