Modifying your BMW, like any car, is about making adjustments with a comprehensive goal in mind. You can change a part and increase that component’s performance, but without thinking of the individual system as a piece of a larger system whole, you are leaving power on the table. What ties it all together is the engine management system’s software programming, which is fed information by all the sensors tied into each system. Systems like air, fuel, exhaust, boost, cooling, and even your parking brake and power steering systems in modern cars, just to name a few, are the components under your ECU’s control. When you increase your engine’s performance with upgraded parts, you aren’t making the full improvement to your power output since your ECU isn’t programmed to work efficiently with different upgrades. This week, we will explain why upgraded engine management software is critical if you want to get the most from your BMW, with or without modifications.

At Turner Motorsport, we have decades of experience building BMWs for peak performance. With that history, we have developed software designed to give your BMW the ability to take advantage of its potential. Turner Motorsport Performance Software Tunes, Shark Injector Software, and Conforti Chip Tunes are all designed, developed, and tested in-house to increase power and performance with measurable results. Most importantly, they are designed to work with specific modifications to achieve peak efficiency.

Conforti Chip Tunes

From the days when ECUs were simple, our Conforti Chip Tunes are just what they sound like: they’re computer chips that replace an existing chip on your ECU board with one that features an improved map developed by the legendary tuner Jim Conforti specifically for Tuner Motorsport. These only work with OBD1 software cars, like the E30, but they do offer significant improvements to performance with a simple upgrade. For instance, if you have an M50B25 in your early-model E36, you can install this chip and immediately see a higher redline and better power output without changing more than a software chip in your ECU.

Shark Injectors
Shark Injector Software

For OBD2 software vehicles, we have the Shark Injector Software that plugs into your harness and acts as a piggyback on your factory ECU. Not only that, but some options incorporate tunes which account for upgraded camshafts and the popular M50 intake manifold upgrade. So, if you have an M52 and decide to use S52 camshafts and an OBD1 M50 intake manifold, we have a Shark Injector for you.

Lastly, for the modern BMW owner, Turner Performance Software is designed to make your engine run as efficiently as possible, especially if you have upgrades. For the N55, an intake, downpipe, and stepped intercooler system would require a tune for real performance gains. With our software, we have extensively tested our tune with our intake, downpipe, and exhaust upgrades and found that we can add over 100hp and 175ft-lbs of torque.

For your BMW, making the most out of your engine’s performance and efficiency is the best way to enjoy it to the fullest. What makes software upgrades so appealing is that they are an upgrade you can make in little time and with nearly any skill level that provides an excellent bang for your buck. There aren’t too many upgrades that can add double or triple-digit horsepower increases with just a simple reflash. Bonus points: you don’t need to leave your house to do this flash, which means you can maintain that social distancing everyone is demanding.
