Expert's advice:
"An ECU remap, often referred to as Stage 1 chiptuning, is all about optimizing the software parameters of your engine to unlock noticeable performance gains, without changing any hardware. At Mosselman, our ECU remaps are developed in-house and tailored to each individual car which results in a smooth and safe power delivery all the way to the redline.
If your car is equipped with an automatic transmission, we strongly recommend having the gearbox software upgraded as well (if available). It ensures the drivetrain works seamlessly with the increased power.
Looking for even more performance? For most models, we also offer Stage 2 and Stage 3 tuning. These involve not just software upgrades but also performance hardware such as a high-flow downpipe, larger intercooler, or even a turbocharger upgrade — all designed to push your BMW to the next level."
Please note: an ECU remap is detectable by a BMW dealership and may affect your factory warranty.
