Planning your first BMW tune? Start with these three checksānot just the absence of a warning light.
ENGINE HEALTH: Scan fault codes, diagnose the cause and repair the actual problem. Check ignition parts and maintenance. Clearing codes isn't a repair.
CORRECT FUEL: Match your tune's approved octane or ethanol blend. Ethanol content varies, and your fuel system must support the blend. Don't guess at compatibility.
MATCHING PARTS: Some maps use factory hardware; others need upgrades. Follow the requirements for your exact engine, fuel and tune. Extra fuel-pump capacity or cooling is not an automatic requirement for every car.
Save the checklist before your next upgrade. Send it to a friend choosing their first BMW tune.
