Stage 3 B58 π¨
BMW M140i, B58 Gen 1, in for a Stage 3 package, same day turnaround. Fitted with a Littco L540 Hypercore turbo, sports cat downpipe, and Bosch TU pump. Loaded onto MHD with an XHP gearbox flash, and custom tuned with switchable maps, map one as the high power setting, map two running slightly lower boost.
This L540 is a development from the long-standing L520 we've used and tested for years, so we were genuinely excited to see what it could do.
Final figures on this setup came in at 530hp and 720nm of torque. We did have it running slightly higher, but dialed it back given the sports cat downpipe and 99 octane fuel. With some ethanol and a Decat downpipe, we're confident this will clear the 600hp mark. Very impressed with the turbo, stock-like spool and a whole lot more power on tap.
Get in touch for any B58 tuning packages. We tune in house and remotely via www.samueltuned.com, with MHD, MG Flasher, and Bootmod3 support.
