Typical before and after power and torque for every BMW X3 M engine we tune. Your own car is custom mapped on our in-house 4WD dyno, and every map is fully reversible.
Locked ECU? No problem. BMW and Alpina cars built from June 2020 have an encrypted ECU. We unlock it on our own bench the same day — £100 added to a tuning booking — and it adds no time to your appointment. On its own, if we’re not tuning the car, it’s £249. Check your reg → · More on unlocking →
Every price on this page is a full custom dyno tune
Not a generic file bought in and flashed over the port. Your BMW X3 M is strapped to our in-house 4WD dyno and the map is written for your car, on the day, from its own data.
Health check firstWe look the car over and read the fault memory before we touch anything. If something is wrong, you get told. We don't map over a problem.
Live data loggingBoost, ignition timing, fuelling, knock and temperatures all watched in real time while the car is running under load.
Custom calibration on the dynoThe map is built and adjusted run by run against what your engine is actually doing, not what a file supplier assumed.
Before and after printoutYou leave with the graph: your standard figures and your tuned figures, measured on the same rollers, the same day.

BMW X3 M remapping questions
What gains can I expect from Stage 1 on a BMW X3 M?
It depends which engine you have. Across the 3 BMW X3 M engines we tune, the X3 M sees the biggest Stage 1 gain: 480bhp to 600bhp and 600Nm to 800Nm, up 120bhp. Every figure on this page is for that exact engine.
How much does it cost to remap a BMW X3 M?
Stage 1 custom dyno tuning on a BMW X3 M starts at £699, and gearbox tuning is £385. Book both together and you save £125. You can spread it over 6 months at 0% with Bumper, or choose Pay in full when you book and pay with Klarna.
Does my BMW X3 M need its ECU unlocking?
If it was built from around June 2020 onwards, yes. Those ECUs are locked from the factory and have to be unlocked before anything can be written. We do it in-house. Check your registration and we will tell you straight away whether yours is affected. Check if your ECU is locked ›
Will remapping my BMW X3 M affect my warranty or insurance?
You will need to tell your insurer, as with any modification, and it can affect a remaining manufacturer warranty. Every map is reversible, so the BMW X3 M can be put back to its factory software at any point.
How long does it take, and is it reversible?
Allow roughly two hours for Stage 1. A locked ECU is unlocked in-house on the same visit without a longer appointment. Everything is reversible: the BMW X3 M can go back to its factory software on request.
Ways to paywhen you pay in full0% finance over 6 monthsCard & Apple Pay£50 deposit secures your slotHow finance works ›
Whichever you pick, the total carries through to checkout, so pay in full by card, Apple Pay or Klarna, or secure the slot with a £50 deposit. Figures are typical for a healthy, standard vehicle; your before and after dyno printout shows exactly what your car makes. Your car’s actual output depends on its condition, fuel quality and any supporting modifications. Prices shown are for Stage 1 custom dyno tuning; locked ECUs (most BMW and Audi registered from mid-2020) carry an additional unlocking charge, confirmed when you book.
