BMW N54 & DCT Tuning

Tuned from thefirmware up

Developed by reverse engineering the factory logic from scratch to create a unique tune. All the power of a tuned engine but with the original BMW refinement still intact.

Benefits of a CAFlash DME tune

The power delivery stays as smooth and progressive as the factory calibration, at the output of a tuned map. That is what separates these tunes from the others available on this platform.

01 / Delivery

Stock smoothness, tuned power

Torque arrives progressively and predictably, with no surge in the middle of the rev range like other tunes. Factory delivery characteristics at tuned power levels.

02 / Fixes

Fixing common tuned N54 problems

All my tunes incorporate fixes for the common surging issues that users experience at part load.

03 / Character

Torque ramps and OE-level burbles

Torque ramps adjusted to suit how the car is driven, and overrun burbles built from factory logic.

04 / Driveline

6AT and DCT optimisation

The transmission is calibrated alongside the engine map, with separate optimisations for the 6-speed automatic and the DCT.

05 / Hardware

Built for modified cars

Full access to the tables covering deleted air conditioning and electric engine fan systems, so a stripped car runs properly instead of dropping into limp mode.

DCT · Transmission

GTS DCT software on an N54!

A conversion of the BMW M3 GTS (CRT) transmission logic to support N54 equipped vehicles. With support for the 135i, 335i and Z4.

01 / Source

Ported from the M3 GTS

The M3 GTS (CRT) transmission software, converted for use with the N54 engine.

02 / Shifts

Faster in both directions

Upshift and downshift speed improved across the range, with noticeably more accurate rev-matching on the way down.

03 / Refinement

Smoother in normal driving

Shifts are smoother at low load and more accurate at high load, which reduces transmission wear and reduces the chance of traction loss during shifts.

04 / Fixes

Common DCT complaints addressed

Hesitation pulling away at junctions and other well-known DCT complaints are dealt with as part of the rework.
