Frequently Asked Questions
What does an ECU remap do on the BMW 3 serie 318i 118hp ( 118 PS / 87 kW )?
An ECU remap (chiptuning) modifies the engine control unit software to optimise parameters like injection timing, turbo boost pressure and fuel delivery. On the 318i 118hp ( 118 PS / 87 kW ), this typically results in more power, better throttle response and improved fuel efficiency at part load.
How much power gain is possible with Stage 1 on the 318i 118hp ( 118 PS / 87 kW )?
Stage 1 brings the 318i 118hp ( 118 PS / 87 kW ) from 118 PS to 127 PS — a gain of +9 PS. No hardware modifications are required, making it the most popular and cost-effective tuning option.
