BMW Remap Specialists

BMW Remapping & Tuning Specialists

We are BMW remapping specialists, and BMW is not a sideline for us. The N57 straight-six diesel is our speciality, we tune B58s, B47s and B48s weekly, we pair engine maps with xHP software for the ZF8 gearbox, and we bench-unlock the encrypted post-June-2020 G-series ECUs most remappers have to turn away. Everything is written and proven on our own 4WD-linked dyno.

Why A BMW Specialist

Anyone Can Flash A BMW. Few Should.

BMW’s modern platforms are not generic. The N57 and B57 straight-six diesels, the B58 petrol six and the B47/B48 fours each behave differently under load, and the ZF8 automatic behind them has its own torque limiters that will quietly undo an engine map if they are left alone. Tuning a BMW properly means knowing all of that, not buying a file by engine code.

Since June 2020, BMW has also encrypted the ECUs on G-series cars. Most local remappers cannot read or write them at all, and those who can usually post your ECU away to a third party for days. We bench-unlock MG1 and MD1 units in-house, on the same visit — see is my BMW locked? to check yours.

And because our dyno drives all four wheels, xDrive cars are measured properly. A single-roller rig cannot load an xDrive BMW safely or read it accurately.

Excellent service from start to finish from dan. Stage 1 and gearbox flash has made my 240i dream to drive. No lag quicker spool up smoother gear changes and the extra 90bhp is unbelievable. Wish dc remapping all the best for the future and dan the man for top work. Cheers again mate.👍🏻👍🏻

Locked From The Factory

Post-June-2020 G-Series, Unlocked In-House

If your BMW was built after June 2020, its ECU is almost certainly encrypted. That covers most G20, G30, G05 and G01 cars and it is the reason a lot of owners are told their car "can’t be tuned". It can — the ECU has to be removed and unlocked on a bench first.

We do that here, on our own bench, during the same appointment. There is no posting your ECU to a third party and waiting days to get the car back on the road. The unlock adds no extra time to the booking, and it is a one-off — future maps do not need it again.

Check whether yours is affected on is my BMW locked?, or see the ECUs we can unlock.

Where We Are

Warrington, 2 Minutes Off The M62

The workshop and dyno are at 20 Trinity Ct, Birchwood, Risley, Warrington WA3 6QT — 2 minutes from J11 of the M62 and 5 from J21A of the M6, with parking outside. Manchester is about 25 to 30 minutes away, Liverpool 35 to 40 and Chester 45 to 50, all off-peak, and customers travel from much further for the 4WD dyno.

FAQs

BMW Remap FAQs

How much is a BMW remap?
A custom Stage 1 dyno tune is £449 including VAT for most BMWs. B58 and M models are priced higher because the software and the work cost more. xHP gearbox software starts at £325, and booking the engine map and gearbox together saves £125.
Can you tune a post-2020 BMW?
Yes. BMWs built after June 2020 have encrypted MG1 and MD1 ECUs. We bench-unlock them in-house during the same appointment rather than posting your ECU away, with no extra time added. The unlock is one-off — later maps do not need repeating.
What does a 335d make on Stage 1?
Around 385 to 390 bhp on a custom dyno-written Stage 1. The N57 is our speciality engine and that figure is measured on our own 4WD rolling road, not estimated.
What does a B58 make?
Up to 420 bhp on Stage 1 depending on the exact car and its state of tune. The B58 sits in the M140i, M240i, 340i, 440i and 540i among others — our B58 page lists the whole line-up with figures.
Do I need xHP as well as the engine map?
Not strictly, but on a ZF8 automatic it is the difference between the gearbox allowing the new torque figure and quietly limiting it. xHP lifts the torque limiters and sharpens the shifts. Booked with an engine map the pair is £125 cheaper.
Do you tune xDrive BMWs?
Yes, and properly. Our dyno is 4WD-linked with mechanical axle synchronisation, which is what an xDrive car needs to be loaded safely and measured accurately. A single-roller rig cannot do it.
Is a BMW remap reversible?
Yes. We keep your original file so the car can be returned to standard at any point. You do need to declare the remap to your insurer.
How long will my BMW be with you?
Around 3 to 4 hours for a standard Stage 1, including the ECU unlock if it needs one. It is a same-day job and you are welcome to wait.
