Hey… did you know that tuning isn’t only about making cars more obnoxious and louder? It’s actually mostly about improving performance, be it power and torque or fuel efficiency. All to gain full confidence when accelerating, overtaking or merging onto a highway, as well as to save fuel under regular driving conditions.

Yep, you read that correctly: by having your BMW engine tuned, you can make it less thirsty. Not only that, with a proper tune, you are also looking at potential increases in reliability.

But how do you go about BMW ECU tuning? Read on to find out the most important aspects of it and see which bimmer engines are good performance improvement candidates.

What Makes a BMW Engine Good for a Tune Up?

There are only a handful of “ingredients” that determine whether or not an engine is right for tuning. That being said, each of them is very important, so if you are considering a BMW tune, take a look at the list below.

1. Aspiration type – turbocharged engines are much more tuneable than naturally aspirated ones, because there are more parameters that can be controlled to affect the performance.
2. Design durability – what you want from a good tuning platform is plenty of OEM reliability. The tune itself will help improve the longevity, but the more robust an engine is from the factory, the more safety margins you’ll have.
3. Engine condition – for tuning, a BMW engine has to be well maintained, according to a regular checkup schedule, along with timely oil and filter changes, and spark plug inspections.

Based on those three aspects, it’s easier to specify which power plants are better suited for tuning than others. So, what are they?

BMW Engines Perfect for Tuning

In the world of various BMW performance upgrades, there are a couple of designs that are definitely tune-worthy. They are characterized by respectable durability margins and reasonable factory power output. Additionally, they are relatively well thought out, at least in most cases.

Let’s dive deeper into the specifics of the abovementioned engines.

BMW B58 Engine Specs and Reliability

The largest of the Bavarians’ modular power plant family, the BMW B58 engine is their latest representative of the inline-six breed introduced in 2015. Depending on the variant and application, it pumps out 322–382 HP and 450–500 Nm of torque. It has forged aluminum piston rods and crankshaft, as well as a closed deck block.

This means the design is very robust from the get-go and it can handle power gains well. It also greatly aids the reliability of the BMW B58 engine, giving it a long-lasting potential, which can be improved even more with appropriate BMW B58 tune… But more on that later.

The BMW B58 engine is used on almost all current production 40i bimmers, including:

• BMW 340i (F30/F31/F34)
• BMW 440i (F32/F33/F36)
• BMW M240i (F22/F23)
• BMW 540i (G30/G31)
• BMW M340i (G20/G21)
• BMW M440i (G22)
• BMW M240i (G42)

BMW B48 Engine Specs and Reliability

Another representative of the modular family, the BMW B48 engine comes in the shape of a more compact four-banger. The Bavarians managed to squeeze out 154–255 HP and 250–400 Nm of torque from it. Thanks to the modularity of the designs, the very same forged piston rods that go into the B58 are also used in B48. In addition, similarly to its bigger brother, the inline-four also has a closed deck aluminum engine block.

Although the B engines are all relatively new, their hefty internal components bode really well for their base longevity. They also make for a solid tuning platform.

In what cars can you find the BMW B48 engine?

• BMW 2 Series, 3 Series, 4 Series, and 5 Series 20i, 30i or 30e models after 2014
• MINI Cooper S (F56)
• Toyota Supra (J29)

BMW B46 Engine Specs and Reliability

Despite the BMW B46 engine being almost identical to the B48, it’s still worth explaining the different numbering. After all, you might’ve already come across this designation. BMW B46 is basically a version of B48 that complies with the American SULEV (Super Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle) requirements. The changes include distinct air intake, sensors, catalytic converters, and factory tune adjusted to those parts.

From the perspective of BMW ECU tuning or reliability, there are no significant differences between the two. The B46 was installed basically in the same models as B48, only destined for the US market.

BMW B38 Engine Specs and Reliability

The smallest and the first engine of the modular B family, this inline-three was introduced in 2013 along with the BMW i8 hybrid. The two versions it comes in (1.2 and 1.5 L) are available with outputs of 74–228 hp and 150–320 NM of torque.

Although it might seem like a lot of horses out of such a tiny engine, thanks to its durable construction, you still have some room for extra power gains. But, most importantly, engine tuning can help you take some load off of it.

As the lowest-displacement member of the family, B38 engine was meant for the lower trims of BMWs and the budget cars like:

• F20/F21 BMW 118i (2015–2019)
• F30/F31 BMW 318i LCI (2015–2019)
• F40 BMW 118i (2019–present)
• F44 BMW 218i Gran Coupé (2019–present)
• F22/F23 BMW 218i (2015–present)
• F45/F46 BMW 218i Active Tourer/Gran Tourer (2014–present)

BMW N54 Engine Specs and Reliability

Introduced in 2006, the BMW N54 was the Bavarians’ first turbocharged gasoline engine. It took advantage of two turbos to produce 302–335 hp and 400–450 Nm of torque. Similarly to the later B58 engine, it used forged internal components (piston rods and crankshaft), but its engine block was of open deck design.

The BMW N54 engine is able to handle increased boost pressures really well and has a lot of potential for longevity improvements with ECU tuning. Below you’ll find a short list of models that were powered by this power plant:

• BMW 335i (E90/E91/E92/E93)
• BMW 535i (E60/E61)
• BMW 135i (E82/E88)
• BMW X6 xDrive35i (E71)
• BMW Z4 sDrive35i (E89)
• BMW 740i (F01)
• BMW 335is (E92/E93)
• BMW 1 Series M Coupe (E82)
• BMW Z4 sDrive35is (E89)

BMW N55 Engine Specs and Reliability

An evolution of the previous design, the BMW N55 engine was produced from 2009 and gradually replaced the N54 in many applications. It was rated at 302–365 hp and 400–465 Nm of torque, depending on the version. Instead of two turbos, BMW used only one twin-scroll turbocharger, which made the motor lighter than the N54.

Similarly to its predecessor, the BMW N55 engine is quite strong and tolerates power increases well. This means that along with taking a few years off of it, with tuning you’ll be able to gain some extra “juice,” to help you overtake other cars swiftly.

• BMW 535i (F10/F11/F07)
• BMW 335i (E90/E91/E92/E93)
• BMW 135i (E82/E88)
• BMW X3 xDrive35i (F25)
• BMW 335i (E70)
• BMW 335i (F30/F31)
• BMW X6 xDrive 35i (E71)
• BMW X1 xDrive35i (E84)
• BMW 435i (F32/F33/F36)

BMW N20 Engine Specs and Reliability

If you are into Bavarian engines, you might think that the BMW N20 isn’t really suitable for tuning. Although it had its share of problems right after its inception, they have mostly been solved. Moreover, one of the issues that troubled this design was related to high intake air temperatures it experienced. Which is something that can be easily remedied by a proper ECU tune that will lower how hot the engine is running overall.

Introduced in 2011, this turbo inline-four was a replacement for a naturally aspirated straight-six N53 engine. It came in two displacement versions (1.6 and 2.0 L) and produced 168–241 hp and 250–350 Nm of torque.

As a predecessor of the B48, it was installed in a similar range of cars (with the exception of 30i BMW models) until it was replaced by the latter after 2017. Examples of N20-powered vehicles include:

• BMW 220i/228i (F22)
• BMW 320i/328i (F30) 
• BMW 320i/328i GT (F34)      
• BMW 420i/428i (F32) 
• BMW 520i/520Li/525Li/528i (F10)

BMW Engines Good for Tuning – Honorable Mentions

Apart from the power plants described up to this point, there are also other BMW engines that are really well-suited for ECU tuning. They are at the bottom of the list not because of their small potential, but due to the fact that they already are extremely powerful in their stock form.

However, if you wanted to, their durable internal components offer great safety reserves for additional power gains. So, which of these designs are a perfect match for engine tuning?

• BMW S55 – a performance version of the N55 introduced in the BMW M3 (F80), with different variants producing 275–493 hp and up to 600 Nm of torque. Manufactured from 2014 to 2021.
• BMW S63 – the strongest engine currently offered in the Bavarian lineup, this twin-turbo 4.4 L V8 powers the top-of-the-line M cars, like BMW M5 (F90) and M8 (F91/92/93), as well as their Competition variants. Produced from 2009, this power plant makes up to 635 hp and 750 Nm of torque.
• BMW S58 – based on the B58 but heavily revised, this engine debuted in BMW X3 M (F97) and X4 M (F98) in 2019. Currently still in production and used on models like the latest BMW M3 (G80), it pumps out 453–503 hp and 550–650 Nm of torque.

How to Tune a BMW Engine Safely?

There are many variables that have to be taken into account when tuning an engine. If you were to try changing any parameters within your BMW’s ECU, you would be at risk of damaging or even destroying the engine. Because of this, a remote tuning service like Awaken Performance by BimmerTech is your best bet.

During an online coding session, their technician does everything for you: they introduce necessary ECU changes and make your engine work at a lower operating temperature. As a result, it also drinks less gasoline (if you don’t change your driving style), and delivers power more smoothly. All while increasing the longevity of your car.

How to Take Care of a BMW Engine after Tuning?

After you’ve decided to give BMW ECU tuning a go, just don’t neglect the maintenance of your car. Use the best quality fuels (octane rating higher than 93 in US and at least 98 in Europe) and motor oils, and regularly inspect everything. And, most importantly, enjoy your car as if it was brand new, again!

BMW was established in Munich, Germany, in 1916. They were just as desirable back then as they are now, but not everyone wants a modern-day BMW. Some people prefer Audi’s, Mercedes, or even a standard Vauxhall Corsa. But anyone who appreciates cars or with an eye for a car that many would call a status symbol car will know the BMWs command respect on the roads – especially the souped-up models like the M140i’s.

The nay-sayers will argue that BMWs aren’t reliable. Some will say they’re terrible to drive in the snow, some will say they’re expensive to run, and other people will complain that they’re not mechanically reliable. Considering 2,028,841 BMWs sold in 2020, let’s explore how reliable recent models are and why many people are so desperate to own one.

What Does The Research Say?

Before we get started, it’s worth confirming that the data says many models of cars are unreliable. A report issued by WhatCar? found that MG, Kia, and Mazdas are the most unreliable cars, and Mini, Dacia, and Lexus are the top three most reliable. Still, BMW hasn’t scored above average in the consumer reliability ratings published by Consumer Reports.

From unwanted breakdowns to frequent reliability issues, BMWs sometimes have a negative reputation – but everything from the driver’s style of driving to the age of the vehicle must be considered when thinking about the reliability of recent BMW models.

Consumer reports found that cars between the age of four and eight years old are most likely to be off the road. Buying a BMW new, then – straight off the lot – means you do get a decent run out of it and, also, are able to give it your best TLC to maintain it. Investing in car repair insurance – something only eligible for cars with under 12000 miles on the clock – will help cover any surprise issues through the early- and mid-life of the car, as it covers mechanical breakdowns that occur without any collision impacting performance. If the engine goes kaput of its own accord, car repair insurance will kick in.

Consumer reports also found the 3 Series model to be the one most prone to frequent repairs or failures during that period. Yet the 3 Series is by far one of the most popular models, according to a study by BMW Toronto and multiple other sources.

Now we know the reliability issues come with age rather than fundamental issues that are there from the beginning, we can assume that recent BMW models are reliable, for now.

Which Models Are The Most Unreliable?

Like any manufacturer, some models are going to do better than others. As mentioned earlier, however, the kink in the BMW model armor is the 3 series which has managed to single-handedly fuel the conspiracy that BMWs aren’t mechanically reliable. They’re excellent to drive, but they do come with a few hiccups along the way. Below are some of the most consistently documented issues with the BMW 3 Series models and others:

• Engine cooling system issues
• Oil leaks
• Poor tail lamp assembling
• Steering imbalances

Again, take these issues with a pinch of salt – often, the driving style plays a leading role in reliability and mechanical problems. Drive Tribe – a popular online car blog created by the presenters of Top Gear – thinks the BMW M5 E60 is one of the more unreliable models. They reported the rod bearing, VANOS issue, and high oil consumption as the frequent problems with this model.

Which Models Are The Most Reliable?

Looking historically, Auto Express ranks the following as the best models ever:

• BMW M1

• BMW E30 M3

• BMW M5 E39

• BMW 3.0 CSL E9

• BMW M5 E28

But sadly, none of them come in as the most reliable. There are various opinions about which model is the most reliable, but one that crops up on every list – and is usually always first on the list – is the BMW E90 3-Series. Even though it might not be the quickest out of the BMW model range, it is the most reliable. In terms of recent models, the 2018 BMW i3 and the 2019 BMW F40. Both of those cars are great, but they don’t carry the same BMW prowess that some models do – and that’s where the right care and maintenance of some of the more favorable models play a part.

One study found that 41% of people thought BMW drivers are the most annoying – there’s a sad stigma surrounding BMW drivers that society has pinned on all BMWs. But anyone who owns a BMW knows they’re elegant, powerful, and desirable – especially the recent models with more sophisticated specs. If you own a BMW, consider regular services and maintenance checks and adopting the right driving style to ensure your BMW lasts for years to come.

Drag races usually offer us a fun way to test out different models and check out if the performance figures on papers match those on the tarmac. But there are drag races that involve more than just a figure comparison – they give us a reality check, especially if they put head-to-head two entirely different cars, in terms of chassis, body style and performance under the hood.

I mean, why would you put a small and apparently a fragile BMW 1M next to a massive BMW X6 M50d in a drag race? However, you know what they say: size does not always matter…and the video below might prove that right.

Even with the visible differences between the two of them, in terms of performance figures we are looking at a good report. However, even if the X6 looks and feels more powerful, the 1M has the advantage of being smaller and lighter.

To start with the BMW 1M Coupe, the model comes with a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine, with 335 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque, enough to deliver a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds.

On the other hand, the BMW X6 M50d packs a 3.0-liter tri-turbocharged engine, with 375 horsepower and 740 Nm of torque. Even if it comes with higher power, the model is a tad slower, with around 0.3 seconds, due to its massive body styling.

Now that we know a little about both cars, push the play button to see for yourself if the BMW 1M Coupe manages to beat up the massive X6 M50d on a straight line race!

The 2016 BMW M2 Coupe is the worthy successor of the late BMW 1M, and even if the car left production some while ago, it is one of the most haunted down BMW models on the market.

It is also wanted by tuning companies worldwide or different high-class shops that still use it for different events, drifting sessions and so on.

It is also the case of this exquisite BMW 1M Coupe which is showing its drifting skills in the video below.
However, this is not an ordinary M1 Coupe, the model being modified for drifting. This means that comes with according mechanics.

We are looking here at a heavily modified front axle, with some other new tweaks inside, like full roll cage and, single seat and carbon fiber hood. This way, the car is now lighter, weighing just 1 ton, coming with an increased weight distribution.

In the stock form, the BMW 1M Coupe used a N54 3.0-liter twin-turbo straight-six engine, with 340 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque, allowing a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in an impressive 4.3 seconds. The engine sent the power to the rear axle via a six-speed manual transmission.

However, it seems that this M1 Coupe drifter is using a modified engine, meaning an S85 V10 5.0-liter burner, the same one found on the BMW E60 M5, now delivering 550 horsepower, thanks to the new intake and exhaust systems.

We are not going to spoil all the fun and let you enjoy the video with this gorgeous BMW M1 Coupe demonstrating its skills in a drifting session!

BMW 1M will never be forgotten and we BMW petrol heads will always cherish its true value and attribute it one of the most iconic models ever built by BMW. It is that sports car that will be always appreciated, loved as a genuine piece of German engineering. Its value and symbol will live on.

A lot of carmakers are paying their tribute when it comes to customizing a one-off BMW 1M and Vossen Wheels tuner is the latest to have wrapped the sports car with their dedicated set of alloy wheels.

We are dealing here with the high-performance Vossen VFS-1 wheels, which make this Alpine White 1M even more aggressive.

To make its look even more spectacular, the aftermarket specialists from Vossen have also added a black vinyl to the roof, the model now being in a perfect color balance with the wheels. Add up the new black side mirrors, kidney grille and rear diffuser and you have one of the most exotic and perfect 1M rides ever leaving an aftermarket shop.

As expected, Vossen Wheels have left the engine intact, this Alpine White BMW 1M still packing the same N54 twin-turbo 3.0-liter with BMW TwinPower Turbo, which develops no less than 340 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque, available between 1,500-4,500 rpm.

The power is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission with a slip-limited differential, allowing a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds, a worthy performance that can be compared to today`s BMW M3 and M4. The topping stands at 250 km/h.

Enjoy the phot gallery released by Vossen Wheels tuner and don’t forget to show your appreciation towards this gorgeous BMW 1M by sharing your comments with us!

The California-based tuner is coming back into the spotlights with its latest project carried out on the iconic BMW 1M.

We are dealing here with a splendidbody style make-over, this Alpine White BMW 1M receiving a carbon fiber aero kit, consisting of a new front splitter, rear diffuser, trunk spoiler, as well as a new hood with the functional vents.

The entire body style is now complemented by the new 19-inch BBS FI alloy wheels, all wrapped in Michelin rubbers. The cabin of this 1M features the track BMW Performance Seats.

In the engine department, the BMW 1M is also looking fresh with the new goodies, the aftermarket specialists from EAS adding the Gruppe M Intake, BMW Oil Catch Can, Evolution Racewerks Chargepipe, Forge Intercooler, PTF Custom Map as well as the Akrapovic Full Eshaust System with Catless Downpipes.

The BMW 1M uses an upgraded 3.0-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo, with 340 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque, enough to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds, at a topping of 250 km/h.

The BMW 1M is that iconic model that has been released on the market in just 6309 models, the model being so rare that it now costs more than the original price tag set in 2011. Unfortunately, for this one, EAS has not revealed the price.

The iconic and legendary BMW 1M is far away from being pulled over in a dusty garage, as more and more tuning companies are taking advantage of this extraordinary model and wrap it with unique and stand-out tuning packages.

It is also the case of the iND Distribution tuner which has given this BMW 1M its true identity. First off, the tuner wrapped it with the gorgeous Valencia Orange exterior, followed by a one-off carbon fiber aero kit, with a new front spoiler, carbon fiber accents, customized rear decklid spoiler and a few more with that.

The overall body kit is complemented by the new set of BBS FI-R wheels, which are also made of lightweight materials, providing our 1M with a greater stance and aggressive look.

In the engine department, this Valencia Orange BMW 1M is also looking fresh, thanks to some upgrades brought to its N54 twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter engine, which is now producing 340 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque.

The engine is hooked to a six-speed manual gearbox fitted with a limited slip differential, which means that the sports car is capable of sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in an impressive 4.3 seconds, at a topping of 250 km/h.

Good news for BMW 1M Coupe owners, who want more from their iconic model. The key to a successful body and power kit is the OK-Chiptuning, a famous aftermarket German based shop which deals mostly with BMW customization programs.

As we can see from the pictures below, this BMW 1M Coupe is standing out from the crowd with some new body elements, like the carbon fiber rear diffuser, radiator grilles, mirror caps, monotube coilovers from H&R, all complemented by the 20-inch Schmidt CC-Line wheels.

Inside, changes are also visible, thanks to the M Performance steering wheel as well as the new gear knob. But the real changes are found under the hood.

As you probably know, the BMW 1M Coupe was equipped with the 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder twin turbo engine, capable of producing a good 340 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque. Well, thanks to the new power kit, mainly consisting of a remapped ECU, the Evo 2 Performance intercooler, new downpipes by Wagner Tuning, Eisenmann exhaust system or the Sachs performance clutch, this model is capable of producing even more.

I am talking here about 450 horsepower and a “reasonable” 710 Nm of torque, which will make it even faster from 0 to 100 km/h than the stock 4.9 seconds. But unfortunately, we do not have the precise performance figures.

The BMW 1M is that iconic model that has been released on the market in just 6309 models, it is so rare that it now costs more than the original price tag set in 2011, it is so special that the ADV.1 Wheels tuning company grabbed it and fitted it with some cool set of wheels.

But apart the cool set of wheels, the ADV.1 Wheels have also wrapped this BMW 1M with the exquisite Dark Grey exterior finish, along with some slight mods carried out at the body as well as under the hood.

This one right here is coming with an upgraded 3.0-liter N54 twin-turbocharged unit, developing 335 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque, meaning that it is capable of sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds, at a topping of 250 km/h.

The BMW 1M is still hunted on the roads, with a lot of people desperately paying exorbitant amounts of money, just to add it to their car collection, and the reason is pretty clear: it has gained the hearts of both Europeans and Americans, thanks to its agile and sporty look, high-performance under the hood and extraordinary stance.
