BMW 140i - STOCK VS STAGE 1 VS STAGE 1 + 

Thank you

Thankyou!

I want some work doing on my m140i who do I contact. The only number for performance m I can find online is for parts do I need to contact awesome?

With stock airfilter also 450hp most likely ;)

They give similar results

You need to map it out

That’s correct. I did that

This was during the time our wireless lav mics was out of office unfortunately!

They are more then bmw says mate stock say 340 but dyno more

@@timmymallet3809 BMW official figure is 335 bhp actually. Mine was dyno'd standard and made 336bhp (on an ACCURATE dyno, with a realistic correction ratio, and strapped down properly without and chance of roller-riding. It's easy for tuners to exaggerate figures, in fact it's harder to dyno properly and get an accurate number. It made 411bhp after a remap, then 455bhp/634nm after a 200 cell wagner sports cat was fitted. Tuners are just selling products, and if they can make the number higher it makes them look good and gets them more work. There is a video on YT of an M140i making over 500bhp with just a remap, it's obviously not a realistic number, but the tuner did it to show how easy it is to fake number.

@@DjNikGnashers well you no more then me then

@@timmymallet3809 Apologies TM, I didn't want to come across as a know-it-all, just giving my opinion. I knew from working in the motor trade for many years, dyno numbers were all smoke & mirrors, and have seen the same car do 8 runs on the same day with the same fuel same temperatures outside, and make 8 different torque readings (the bhp is then calculated from the torque figure) 🙂 But even so, I didn't realise just how much variation you can achieve with simple adjustments. If you let the car ride the rollers a bit so the tyres loose contact with the rear roller, that can gain 10-15% easily. If you make a tiny change to the correction ratio when calculating the torque to bhp number, and the transmission loss when calculating the flywheel bhp from the wheel bhp number, that can make a big difference too. On top of that, if you put the ambient air temp sensor for the dyno in a warm place, again that gives a more favourable number. Tuners are just selling a product mate, like any other product. While there are always going to be small differences, because no two engines are ever going to be completely identical from the factory, dyno readings are basically not worth the paper they are written on.

@@DjNikGnashers 👍🏻

ECU tune is £550 with dyno
