Yes 👍🏻

Go further 😄

100%

Go XHP tcu tune to remove the torque limiters on the gearbox

Is that even a question ? 😄

So true 😂

Yea 70 BHP is a good bump. You’ll definitely feel it and so will the tires 😅

Agreed that smile was real, you could see the child within 😀. Now Joel just try not to get to excited and end up getting pulled over for speeding.

Hehehe I was genuinely shocked and excited by it! :)

Definitely massively improves the fun factor

Thanks dude!

@@itsjoel I don't mean to be rude asking you this question. But what year and price did you pay? I'm considering picking one up with very low miles. Thanks, Joel.

We should put it up against that amazing R8 of yours! 🤪

@@itsjoel challenge accepted 😛

It’s no joke 😂

It was so much fun

Yeah off by 10bhp but I have more torque, so in a straight line there would be no difference

Nope, I’m gonna have to be very careful. Would like to take it to Germany as soon as possible

Has that n55 treated you well I heard that the chargepipe runs out pretty quick on those

I wouldn’t possibly know

It’s so tuneable!

@@itsjoel yes, some people already have some pushing 1,000HP. My goal is only to reach the 600’s

So fun : )

Yeah definitely would like to see how fast it’ll go

Yeah it’ll light the tires up no problem, it struggles to get all the power down most of the time now haha

They came with the car here in the uk

😃😃😃

Thanks buddy! It’s a megamount

I think it’s £500.00. Definitely worth the cash in my opinion

Litchfield quote 435hp, and I’ve had the quicksilver exhaust which is quoted as adding 16hp - that’s why I was “hoping for 450” - but I’m more than happy haha

Hahah so true! I guess they love a bit of everything at Litchfield 😂

Not sure I’d quite get a 22% return 😂

@@itsjoel the Z4 is NA so would only get 10-15 bhp increase however you would notice the better throttle response. I'm currently getting my Z4 turbo'd amongst several other mods and going for about 600 bhp.

Thanks for helping out with the video

@@itsjoel no worries mate 👍🏼

Very nice

@@itsjoel would be good to see a roll to see differences.

@@derekporter66 635nm from a standard engine with just an ecu tune ? They have over exaggerated those figures to make you happy, not a chance you get anywhere near that torque without mods. The bhp is about right, as 420bhp is the absolute mechanical maximum for just an ecu tune, but not a chance on the torque figure.

@@DjNikGnashers srr are meant to be independent. No idea

@@derekporter66 Mate, I am honestly not trying to put your car down, they are brilliant cars, I absolutely love mine. Some companies deliberately use tricks to inflate the figures, so that people will go to them as they think more is better, especially dyno companies. Mechanically, a stock B58 simply can't produce more than 420bhp, it's just not scientifically possible. And anywhere near 600nm is definitely not real, from just a remap. Hell, I have a 200m cell cat, ITG air filter, and mine only dyno'd at 634nm ... but that was on a very accurate dyno, properly strapped down (so no roller riding to increase the figures), ambient air temps and intake temps both shown on the readout to prove no miscalculation, and with a conservative correction ratio. It's so easy to get higher figures, but it's not real. There is a video on KZfaq, from a technician, who gets over 500bhp from a remap, but it's just all tricks and bs, but the readout says 500bhp lol some mug would believe that.

His Z4 is NA is stands to gain very little from a stage 1 map. He would have to supercharge or turbo and as someone going through that right now it's not cheap.

Agree with Martin there, you’d have to put thousands into the Z4 to get a 80hp increase. I’d sooner by a Z4M. Having said that, it’s nice having the Z4 as it is, it’s got just the right amount of power that you can use all the time

That's fair enough. I have thought about going for a Stage 1 upgrade on my Z4M but after doing some research, it appears that the maximum power uplift that is possible is only about 15bhp.

Increased it by about £300 from memory

@@itsjoel have you got modified insurance or have you just declared them on a normal policy?

3.6s

Yeah it’s crazy!

Think it increased by around £300 after declaring those mods

@@itsjoel not bad then

I wish that were true! I do freelance producer work and obviously earn from KZfaq too

😂😂😂

Hundredths of a second aside even if it came in at 4 dead it’s a properly quick car.

Think I timed it frame by frame in the edit, and was about 3.9 to 62. Ridiculous

@@itsjoel Post a draggy result up mate. Not a chance your car does 0-60 in sub 4 seconds. My M140i is 455bhp/634nm and struggles to get 4.5 secs to 60, and I have not seen any others get close to 4 seconds in real tests. unless they are XDrive models.

@nik better tyres+lsd?

Would like to yes

@@itsjoel ive done it done it myself its pretty easy , get xhp software and mhd to go into your obd port and connect with your phone it really does transform the car with that extra clamping force now that you have more power .👍

Yes I’m pretty sure it would do

@@itsjoel I got a decades worth of exp in auto industry. only way to "void" your warranty is thru totaling your car, and even then recalls are still to be serviced on your vehicle.

Most dealers will blacklist your car if they find that it’s been tuned, even tho they’re not supposed to

@@theendangeredpetrolhead I was speaking to a BMW master tech about this. If a customer trade in has been tuned, they cannot sell it on their forecourt and have to auction it. Whether or not it's easy for them to find out save for being told by the customer themselves, I have no idea as I didn't ask that. As for voiding warranties, I always assumed it would but I've never clarified that.

@@64bakes it’s pretty easy for them to check it. If you go in for something big like an engine issue, there is a 99.9% chance they will look for it and find it.

About $750

@@itsjoel wow that's really inexpensive compared to Dinan thank you. I just bought a 2021 m240i xdrive I'm just worried about my new car warranty with going with stage 1. Don't know if it's a risky move or not wouldn't want to lose my coverage!

@@germanengineering204 I just picked up my 2021 M240i a couple of weeks ago. I’m loooooving it and am thinking of the stage I myself!

It’s pretty remarkable to be able to get such a massive power increase for a relatively small amount of cash

Some things they just dont need to know mate

You have no idea what you are talking about. A bootmod 3 93+ octane stage one will give 440bhp. Stage 2 with a downpipe approx 460bhp and stick the HPFP on and you will get approx 490. Have a custom tune you are looking at 510bhp crank. 356bhp stock is normal and I'd expect higher. They are quoted whp.

@@TeacherToolkitDemo I work in the motor trade, I know exactly what I'm talking about. I can show you a video where a standard M140i made over 500BHP from just a remap. Of course, it's complete bullshit, but it's possible for anyone to give a customer a dyno graph which has this figure on it. Just because some clowns believe anything tuners tell them, does not make it accurate or in any way truth. Nobody can say what a certain map will give a certain car, least of all you, there are too many variables, and if you work in the motor trade like me, you would know that if you dyno the same car, on the same dyno, on the same day, 5 times, you will see 5 different results. BHP cannot be measured, only calculated from the torque which CAN be measured. And even then, it varies with every run depending on intake temps, traction on the dyno, fuelling, timing, and a dozen other variables. Max true bhp from a B58 engine remap is about 420, it is scientifically impossible to get more out of an unopened, completely standard B58 engine, and if you don't understand that, I suggest you give up trying to argue against real science because you obviously don't understand as much as I do.

@@DjNikGnashers damn that's some essay 🤣. They make what I said they make. You are talking nonsense.

@@TeacherToolkitDemo If you believe everything anyone tells you, then crack on son. I'll stick to facts, and science thanks. You carry on believing 'bro science' kid, lol !

@@DjNikGnashers How can your M140i have 455bhp if 420bhp is the limit? Are you a real scientist? 🥴.
