BMW E60 3.0d — checking and revising an existing calibration
Power testing and EDC16C35 calibration revision for a BMW E60 3.0d.
This 2006 BMW E60 with a 3.0-litre single-turbo diesel engine had already been tuned, but the owner was unhappy with the previous result. Before the new revision, the dynamometer showed about 246 hp and 531 Nm, compared with stated factory figures of 231 hp and 500 Nm.
AutoChip revised the EDC16C35 control unit software and tested the result on a dynamometer. The video title gives 294 hp and 613 Nm, an increase of 63 hp and 113 Nm over the factory figures. These are the final figures published in the video title.
A dyno test makes it possible to compare the previous and new calibrations against the specific car’s measured output, rather than relying only on nominal factory data.
