Achieve maximum power from the M240i without sacrificing drive ability or reliability by optimizing the engine's air/fuel ratios, timing, and more. We set out to extract maximum possible gains out of the M240i while keeping the operating parameters safely within the confines of reliability and longevity. Fabspeed Motorsport offers an alternative tuning method for vehicles equipped with ECU's that traditionally required bench flashing. No longer do you need to remove your ECU and mail it in for a bench flash. The Handheld device interfaces with the OBD-II port on your vehicle and your computer to complete the tuning process, which is as follows. POWER: While a vehicle equipped with bolt-on upgrades will experience maximum gains as a result of the increased efficiency of the engine, great power gains can be made on a completely stock vehicle! TUNING PROCESS: Read stock data on vehicle via OBD-II port with Handheld Interface Handheld with software on your computer and send in data to Fabspeed Motorsport via email We use this data along with information you provide about your vehicle to write a tune for your specific setup and email back your custom tune in 1-2 business days Write the Fabspeed ECU Tune to your Handheld, then to the vehicle with the Handheld Enjoy your increased performance! No need to send your ECU in to return to stock - simply use the Handheld to flash back, then to your Fabspeed ECU Tune again at any point! NOTES: Only Fits (2016 - June 2020) Models Please review our Tuning Guide in the instructions above and email the ECU Tuning Information form to us. We utilize this form to ensure we meet your needs and consider your modifications to deliver the best possible results. You must have access to a PC / Windows computer (Mac OS not supported) to upload your factory file information to us via email and in turn apply our ECU Tune to your Handheld device. Upon sending us your vehicle information, our tuner will email you a custom ECU Tune(s) within 1-2 business days. The Handheld device "marries" with your vehicle and can only be used on one vehicle. Special requests and tune file upgrades may be subject to additional fees. Why the June 2020 cut-off date? All vehicles that currently use the Bosch MEVD and MG1 family of ECU’s starting mid-June 2020 are completely locked by Bosch. The reason for the update is to provide improved security for autonomous driving and other driving assistance features and keeping hackers away from remotely intervening with the vehicle’s systems. The lock has been introduced in the bootloader of the ECU and is implemented on the processor level, which means that “bench unlocking” with direct access on the ECU is no longer possible.
