We are huge fans of the BMW M F8X platform with its award-winning S55 3.0L straight six engine. The first generation of turbocharged M cars, the M3, M4 and M2 Competition were all hugely impressive straight from the factory. However, the BMW M Division allowed plenty of headroom to improve things even further and to create a truly gobsmacking performance car. That's where Enginetuner comes in.

Using our F87 M2 Competition development car, we have created performance packages designed to enhance your F8X without breaking the bank. All our packages use parts and ECU calibrations that we have used on our own M2 Competition - both on the street and at the race track - so we know they are proven and effective.

The performance packages are modular, incremental and cost effective. For example, having already applied the ET500 package to your car, you only need to add the additional parts needed for the ET550 package later on.

The packages come in two forms - Street and Track. You will find details of our Street packages below and these are focussed on extracting reliable power from your car. To convert any package from Street to Track, we can supply and fit the full range of extra enhancements that make our M2 Competition such a weapon on the race track - brakes, aero, suspension and uprated cooling. If you would like more information about our Track package, please get in touch.

Performance Packages

Using the Bootmod3 turning platform by Protuning Freaks, we apply the stage 1 calibration to the mighty S55 engine. At the same time we also fit Masata charge pipes to replace the OEM plastic pipes that are prone to cracking with increased boost pressure. We replace your spark plugs with NGK Iridium 97506 plugs which are two steps colder than the OEM items.

The ET500 package also includes a dyno run before and after the new calibration is applied so that you can see the increased power and torque that the package produces.

The ET500 package will result in engine power of at least 500BHP using 99RON pump fuel. It costs £1,550 including VAT, parts and labour at our Plymouth workshop. The package can be fitted the same day.

*Please note that cars manufactured after June 2019 will require their ECU to be removed and unlocked before we can apply a Bootmod3 calibration. If required, this service will incur an additional charge of £350 (including VAT).
