The second most common issue on the BMW M2 with the N55 isn’t tuning — it’s cooling. PART 3

The problem comes from three temperatures:
• Intake air
• Oil
• Water

Oil temp management depends on how your M2 is used.
A cost-effective solution is a lower-temperature oil thermostat.
We often install the BimmerTune oil thermostat, which opens around 80°C and typically reduces oil temperatures by 10–20°C.
If that’s not enough, an upgraded oil cooler is the next step.
Keeping oil and water temperatures under control is critical for engine longevity, especially bearings.

The second most common issue on the BMW M2 with the N55 isn’t tuning — it’s cooling. PART 2

The problem comes from three temperatures:
• Intake air
• Oil
• Water

Water temperature, in particular, can be optimized through software.
By adjusting electric water pump behavior and the cooling targets inside the ECU, overall thermal control improves significantly.
Most tuning platforms support this, or a reputable tuner can implement it as part of a proper custom calibration.
Cooling strategy matters — power and reliability depend on it.

The second most common issue on the BMW M2 with the N55 isn’t tuning — it’s cooling. PART 1

The problem comes from three temperatures:
• Intake air
• Oil
• Water

The stock intercooler is simply too small, even on a completely standard car. Intake temperatures rise fast, timing gets pulled, and power drops.

In my opinion, tuning an M2 without upgrading the intercooler is a no-go.

For road use, we recommend the Wagner EVO 1.
For track use, the Wagner EVO 2.

Cooling first. Power second!

BMW F15 X5 40d Stage 1

De 3.0d werd geoptimaliseerd op onze eigen vermogensbank, waarbij we stap voor stap hebben gewerkt met datalogs om alles netjes binnen de veilige marges te houden.

Resultaat:
313 pk → 398 pk
630 Nm → 760 Nm

Naast de motortune kreeg ook de automatische versnellingsbak een custom software-aanpassing, wat zorgt voor snellere, logischere schakelmomenten en beter gebruik van het extra koppel.

Meer kracht, meer controle en vooral: betrouwbaar vermogen dat past bij het karakter van deze X5.

BMW E82 120D – 569.000 km en klaar voor een upgrade

Deze E82 120D met N47-motor kwam binnen met 569.000 km op de teller. Na een grondige controle bleek al snel dat de wagen maniakaal onderhouden is: alles netjes opgevolgd en heel wat onderdelen al preventief vervangen. Een perfect uitgangspunt om verder te optimaliseren.

We hebben de wagen voorzien van een Wagner EVO 1 intercooler, een downpipe en custom software.
Het resultaat:
177 pk → 240 pk
380 Nm → 529 Nm

Een mooie verbetering in vermogen en trekkracht, mét behoud van betrouwbaarheid — zelfs op een kilometerstand als deze.
