BMW E46 3.0d — revising an existing calibration

BMW E46 3.0d power comparison before and after revising a previously installed calibration.

ECU tuning EGR dyno testing

Engine 3.0 diesel

This 2004 BMW E46 3.0d had already been tuned in Lithuania. Before the software was changed, the AutoChip dynamometer showed about 241 hp and 531–533 Nm. The factory figures stated at the beginning of the video are 184 hp and 390 Nm.

After a new engine control program was written and the EGR software was adjusted, the measurement reached 263 hp and 588 Nm. The new calibration was therefore compared with an already modified program, not with the factory file.

In this case, the dyno test helped assess what changed with the new program compared with the previous tune.
