The owner had already modified the exhaust and intake systems on this BMW E92 3.0d. After ECU calibration, the dyno recorded 325 hp and 723 Nm.

This BMW E92 with a 3.0-litre diesel engine came in for ECU programming after the owner had made several mechanical changes. The DPF and catalytic converter had been removed, while the EGR system and intake swirl flaps had been modified or removed. AutoChip worked on the engine control unit software during this visit.

Before the new calibration, the dyno already recorded approximately 255 hp and 575 Nm. Those figures reflected the car with its mechanical changes but without the new ECU calibration. The video lists 245 hp and 520 Nm as the standard specification.

After programming, the dynamometer recorded 325 hp and 723 Nm. The measurement shows the combined result of the changes and illustrates how actual dyno readings can differ from factory specifications when a vehicle's configuration has already been altered.
