About this calibration file
The Stage 1 calibration for the BMW E46 320i Petrol is a drop-in remap that works on completely stock hardware — no turbo, injector, intercooler or fuel-system upgrades required. Injection timing, boost targets, rail-pressure limits and torque maps are rebalanced to extract the safe headroom the OEM leaves untouched for fleet-fuel tolerance, altitude margin and warranty buffer.
This file matches a Bosch ECU with hardware number 5WK90019 and software version 430066. Verify both identifiers in your flashing tool before writing — an ID mismatch is the most common cause of a bricked ECU. If you are unsure, upload a read of your original file via the file-request wizard and our engineers will confirm compatibility before you flash.
Projected output on a healthy, stock-hardware example of this engine: 179 HP and 288 Nm at the crank — a gain of +23 HP (15%) and +38 Nm over the factory 156 HP / 250 Nm baseline. These numbers are sourced from our Vehicle Performance Database, which aggregates dyno results across this engine family. Real-world gains depend on fuel grade, ambient temperature, mechanical condition and intake/exhaust state.
The file is delivered as a ready-to-flash BIN (and ORI backup where applicable) compatible with all major tools — KESS V2/V3, KTAG, AutoTuner, CMDFlash, Dimsport New Genius, MPPS, Flex, BFlash, PCMFlash, MMFlash — via OBD, bench or boot-mode as supported by your ECU family. Checksums are pre-computed and verified; no additional checksum tool is required. All files include a free revision if post-flash logs reveal a fuelling, boost or EGT issue.
