About This Tune

N55 3.0 Turbo.
Proper Numbers.

The BMW M135i F20 is powered by the N55 3.0 turbo, one of the most capable and tuneable straight-six petrol engines ever built. From the factory it produces 326PS, but with a custom Stage 1 dyno calibration from DC Remapping, the real potential of this engine is unlocked.

We consistently achieve 401bhp and 682Nm on 99RON fuel, transforming the M135i from a quick car into a genuinely rapid one. Throttle response is sharpened significantly, the mid-range pulls harder and the power delivery across the entire rev range is much more linear and progressive.

All calibration is carried out live on our 4WD linked rolling road, every change tested and validated in real time. The result is a tune that feels factory integrated, not aggressive or harsh.

Figures vary depending on fuel quality. Results shown are on 99RON premium fuel. On 97RON you can expect slightly lower figures. We always recommend running 99RON for maximum performance and to get the most from your calibration.

  • 401bhp and 682Nm on 99RON, proven on our dyno
  • Sharpened throttle response and improved mid-range pull
  • No hardware modifications required
  • Full vehicle health check carried out before tuning
  • Before and after dyno printout included
  • Compatible with xHP ZF8 gearbox tuning

FAQs

BMW M135i Tuning Questions

How much power will a Stage 1 remap add to my BMW M135i?+
Our Stage 1 maps are custom-built on our in-house 4WD dyno and tailored to your exact BMW M135i, never a generic off-the-shelf file. You'll see a substantial, fully dyno-proven gain in both power and torque; the headline figures for this platform are shown at the top of this page. Because every map is refined over multiple runs, the results are realistic, repeatable and safe.
Is remapping my BMW M135i safe and reliable?+
Yes. We tune strictly within the safe mechanical limits of your BMW M135i's engine and gearbox, monitoring temperatures, pressures and torque loads across multiple dyno pulls. We've spent 14+ years tuning these platforms, so our maps prioritise long-term reliability alongside performance.
Will a remap affect my warranty or insurance?+
A remap is an aftermarket modification, so it's the owner's responsibility to declare it to their insurer. Our maps are fully reversible, we keep your original factory file and can return the BMW M135i to completely standard whenever you need, for example before a main-dealer visit.
Is the remap reversible?+
Completely. Your original factory software is saved before we start, so your BMW M135i can be returned to stock at any time.
Will tuning improve my BMW M135i's fuel economy?+
Many owners notice improved MPG, especially on a steady motorway cruise, because the engine makes its torque more efficiently and needs less throttle for the same progress. Driving style is the biggest factor, drive it the same and economy often improves; enjoy the extra performance and the savings will simply be smaller.
How long does it take, and do you tune on a dyno?+
Most Stage 1 tunes are completed within a few hours; allow up to a day for combined ECU and gearbox work. Every BMW M135i is mapped on our in-house 4WD dyno in Warrington, never on the road, so the result is measured and consistent. You're welcome to relax in our customer waiting area while we work.
