BMW E60 3.0d — power measurements before and after calibration

BMW E60 dyno measurements after DPF and EGR work and engine control calibration.

ECU tuning DPF EGR dyno testing

Vehicle BMW E60
Year 2005
Engine 3.0 diesel

This 2005 BMW E60 with a 3.0-litre diesel engine arrived with DPF and EGR system issues. After work on these systems or their software controls, the car was first tested without a power-increase calibration. At this stage, the dynamometer showed 239 hp and 535 Nm.

An engine control program was then written and the car was tested again. The video gives a final result of approximately 310 hp and 648–649 Nm. This comparison starts from the vehicle’s condition after the DPF and EGR work, not from a completely unmodified factory setup.

Taking measurements at each stage helps distinguish the result after the system work from the additional increase after ECU calibration.
