2020+ BMW F90 M5 & F91, F92, F93 M8 Remap
2018-2023
Stock Figures:
600 – 620 bhp / 500 – 520 whp / 750nm / 100-200kph 7.0 sec / Quarter Mile 10.9 Sec.
The F90 M5 in standard form makes 600-620 BHP and 750 NM of torque, There are two common versions the standard M5 and the competition version. The comp makes slightly more power but engine and its turbos etc are all the same and because of this the standard and comp m5 both achieve same power when tuning this is also true of the rarer CS model.
We offer tuning for this platform world wide & in house at our Workshop in Colchester Essex, We have managed to carry on in the same manner as we had with the previous generation winning UK events and establishing ourselves in the top of the leaderboards for Stage 1/ Stage 2 cars. We are 3 years into owning our own F90 Shop car and have used it at Santa pod, terminal velocity & euro trips to Nurburgring regularly with success enabling us to build on the great car BMW have created. Our customers have also enjoyed success all around the world and been able to enjoy their cars to the full potential.
Tuning methods available:
-
ECU Unlock
ECU Unlock VideoBMW cars manufactured after June 2020 require an unlock process that takes a few days. Currently worldwide there is no alternative to unlocking the ecu in this manner, this is a required step to gain write access to the ecu . Due to this extra step we ask the vehicle is left with us for 1 week.
Over time this has become a very regular process for us and one we are confident in providing.
For those interested here is a video of one our customers lci f90 m5 and the unlock process.

VT700 - Stage 1
Only ECU Flash Required
705 – 715 bhp / 595 – 600 whp / 850nm / 100-200kph 6.0 sec / Quarter Mile 10.4 Sec.
Our Stage 1 looks to achieve 700-720 BHP and 850NM. When we obtained our M5 shop car we first ran the car for a month at standard power and whilst the power from a standstill was impressive and exciting, we found that past 100mph the car did begin to flatten off and reduce the rate at which it continued to accelerate, Stage 1 tuning changed that. Once we went over to our own software the car felt like it did not ease off and was able to maintain that exciting feeling through the higher gears.
Stage 1 tuning does not require any physical changes to the car, intakes, exhaust system, spark plugs are all able to be left completely factory. It is common for owners to wish the car was louder and made more noises in sport mode. When mapping we are able to keep the exhaust valves open in sport mode and also adjust the burbles however you prefer.
With Stage 1 mapping optional gearbox mapping is also available, For those coming from previous generation M cars, the newer 8 speed gearbox can feel very soft and smooth and lack that fast aggressive shifting we had with the DCT gearboxes. The gearbox mapping also removes the 194mph speed limiter which is found once the engine ecu speed limiter is removed.

VT800 - Stage 2
Exhaust modifications required
(99ron) 790 – 810 BHP / 660 – 670 WHP / 900 NM / 100-200kph 5.5 sec / Quarter Mile 10.1 Sec
(E30/Meth) 830-850 BHP / 950 NM / 100-200 4.9 sec / Quarter Mile 9.9 Sec
For those wanting to extract the true potential of their F90 M5 look no further than our stage 2 mapping. This level of tuning is hard to match and there is not much out there that can keep with a stage 2 F90 let alone out pace it. Stage 2 requires exhaust modifications and as such is strictly for off road/ track use only. Stage 2 power can range from 790 BHP all the way past 850 BHP depending on what fuel type its for. Most customers especially in the UK are mapped for 99ron premium fuel and as such 790-810 BHP can be expected.
When stage 2 tuning we often disable cold start and either reduce or increase the burbles depending on what the customer would like to hear. We can also keep the exhaust valves open in sports mode, remove speed limiter and recalibrate sports display to show new power output.
Most Stage 2 cars have gearbox mapping carried out along side the engine mapping as they compliment each other and allow the car to not only maximise its potential but also remove some limitations.
We also offer our Stage 2 tuning for 95ron, 97ron, E30 fuel and also those running port meth injection (common in hot climates)

Stage 3
Available upon Request (Requires Built Engine)
Ethanol Mapping
Methanol Mapping
Hybrid Turbo Mapping
Dialling in for compression ratios, Port/ Polish heads, Bigger Fuel Pumps

VT Gearbox Mapping
Our development for m5/m8 focused heavily on the engine tuning but we started to see limitations with the 8hp75/76 gearbox software. Slow shifts, launch control limitations, gearshifts at incorrect rpm and torque limitations.
Our gearbox software is optimised to work with our engine software and this combo is magic on this platform drastically improving 0-60, 1/4mile and drivability. Our gearbox mapping literally makes the difference between winning and losing.

Progressing from the F10 platform we have the F90 M5, This is a S63T4 V8 4.4 coupled with an automatic 8speed gearbox instead of the previous generations DCT 7Speed. The Car features an intelligent XDRIVE system capable of 4 wheel drive and also 2 wheel drive if desired.
What BMW decided to do here is take the F10 M5 limited traction and turn it on its head offering mind blowing levels of acceleration & grip.
We spent many months developing and testing multiple stages of tuning from completely stock to full system, intakes & Ethanol Race fuel blends. This was carried out with 1000s of miles of datalogging & many days on our dyno. What we found was a extremely capable setup from factory but one that left so much more to take advantage of.
What we have ended up with now is fully developed tunes suit all types of customers needs. We have our stage 1, normal stage 2, aggressive stage 2 and our ethanol based stage 2 packages.
FAQs:
-
My M5 / M8 is an LCI will I need to have my ecus unlocked?
Unlock info videoYes from June 2020 BMW ecu security was changed and bypassing security is not as quick as pre June 2020. We offer an unlock service which takes a few days, for more info watch our video on the process below.
-
If I map remap my car, can I return it to stock to maintain its warranty?
Once your car is remapped, it will always be detectable by BMW even if car is flashed back to standard afterwards, therefore only tune your M5 if you are not keeping your warranty.
-
Are your maps custom?, Can I determine whether I have moderate power or maximise engines potential?
Custom Mapping is a term used loosely in the automotive industry but yes our maps are custom and written in house by Tommy. Because of this you can determine the aggressiveness of your tune and also you will see datalogging and adjustments made whilst you visit.
-
My car software was updated by BMW and now it no longer burbles in sport mode, Can you revert this back?
Much to the annoyance of many owners BMW removed the exhaust Burbles with a software update. We are able to re-enable burbles and also adjust them to suit your wants.
