Superchips BMW X5 3.0D

Superchips are ready with another performance package specially for BMW. This time they offer a new ECU remap for the mighty 3.0 liter straight-six diesel. The engine is mounted on 3er (E90/E91/E92/E93), 5er (F10), 7er (F01), GT (F07), X5 (E70), X6 (E71).

by 44hp at 4183 rpm and 90 Nm of torque at just 2222 rpm. This brings the total output to 313hp and 627Nm of torque. In order to accomplish this task, Superchips had to perform a remap of the engine while taking into consideration the "careful optimization of fueling and turbo boost settings". According to Superchips, this reconfiguration allows for a sharper throttle response, a keener, more urgent engine, a harder pull throughout the rev range.

Installation of the Superchips ECU remap for BMW 3.0 D models entails customers visiting one of approximately 80 Superchips performance centres where trained technicians can undertake the remapping procedure.

The Superchips conversion is covered by a full Customer Service Guarantee and an industry-leading 12 month / 30,000 mile supplementary vehicle warranty.

The Superchips BMW X5 3.0D price is 445.00 GBP including VAT.


Press Release

BMW’s 245 bhp 3.0-litre, six-cylinder, direct injection common rail power plant is arguably the most refined and potent mainstream diesel engine on sale today. However, given the nature of the brand, it’s no surprise that there is strong demand from BMW owners seeking to tailor their car’s features to their own individual driving preferences.

Hence why Buckingham based automotive electronics experts Superchips are pleased to announce the launch of a new ECU remap designed to increase the potency of the 2993cc BMW diesel engine, as found in the following popular applications:-

• 3 – series (E90 / 1 / 2 / 3)
• 5 – series (F07)
• 7 – series (F01)
• GT (F10)
• X5 (E70)
• X6 (E71 / 2)

Diligent analysis of the BMW’s Bosch EDC17 ECU enabled Superchips technicians to pinpoint potential areas of improvement to both the performance and efficiency of the 3.0 D engine, involving the careful optimisation of fuelling and turbo boost settings within the revised Superchips remap. These changes have then been rigorously validated through a combination of real world road testing and extensive chassis dyno assessment.

The performance gains from the Superchips ECU remap are significant. Power increases by 44 bhp at 4183 rpm, resulting in an impressive maximum output of 313 bhp (up from a measured 264 bhp as standard.) Importantly, these power improvements are realised throughout the rev range, from 1500 rpm all the way to the rev limiter at 4500 rpm. For safety reasons the 155 mph rev limiter is left unaltered.

However, the Superchips BMW 3.0 D remap also provides a noticeable increase in torque output, resulting in a maximum gain of 90 Nm of torque at just 2222 rpm, taking the peak figures from a measured 549 Nm to 627 Nm (457 lb.ft.)

Behind the wheel the Superchips remapped BMW 3.0 D feels much more potent. Throttle response is sharper, the engine feels keener, more urgent and more willing, pulling harder throughout the rev range. Meanwhile, the additional torque available from the Superchips ECU remap enables relaxed, stress-free overtaking, cruising and towing.

And thanks to careful work of Superchips ECU experts, these performance improvements have little or no impact on the BMW 3.0 D engine’s renowned frugality. In practice the Superchips ECU remap delivers extra fuel efficiency thanks to a combination of performance optimisation and the removal of factory compromises designed to cater for service neglect or low grade fuel.

Superchips is confident that if a remapped version of any BMW 3.0 D model is driven in a ‘like for like’ manner against the standard version, owners will experience noticeable fuel economy improvements due to the additional low rev torque delivered by the Superchips upgrade.

Installation of the Superchips ECU remap for BMW 3.0 D models entails customers visiting one of approximately 80 Superchips performance centres, where trained technicians can undertake the remapping procedure.

Customers can be assured that the Superchips conversion is covered by a full Customer Service Guarantee and an industry-leading 12 month / 30,000 mile supplementary vehicle warranty.

Available now both directly from Superchips and its UK dealer network, the BMW 3.0 D ECU remap is priced at £445.00 including installation and VAT.

A generation in advance: With the CL, ANDERSON GERMANY has created a new category of vehicles which, for the first time, has combined the elegance and dynamic of a Coupé with the performance of a sports car. The high performance Coupé with the powerful V12 motor and exquisite fittings from Düsseldorf is a synonym for exclusive performance and elite style.

The increased performance should be mentioned first: The engine performance has been improved using software optimisation, sports air filters, a sports exhaust system (plasma coated) including racing catalysors and larger pulleys and now boasts a startling 670 HP.

The new lacquered bodywork in satin matt de luxe/black gives the car an even more elevated status.

Big Brother: BMW X6 Widebody by Enco Exclusive!

It's unlikely that any other BMW has had such a polarising effect as the gigantic X6. The Munich SUV, with its suggestive coupé silhouette, possesses proportions that seem enormous, and is the perfect embodiment of a luxury all-terrain vehicle. Positioned above the much-loved BMW X5, in recent years the X6 has quietly developed into a real sales hit for the Bavarian carmaker.

The name Enco Exclusive is now famous all over the world, and the Chemnitz manufacturer has specialised in refining luxury vehicles since the beginning of the new century. The newest creation out of Saxony is a complete body kit for the BMW X6. The Enco designers have developed a widebody kit that makes the X6 even wider, brawnier and, naturally, more sporty.

The new front bumper has three large air intakes to improve cooling of the engine and brakes, as well as integrated LED daytime driving lamps. Full wheel arch surrounds are responsible for a brawny appearance, complemented by a pair of new side skirts. The rear doors have been specially modified to flow seamlessly into the new rear bumper. The rear appears extremely brawny, thanks to a diffuser integrated into the bumper, and a new, centrally positioned sports exhaust system with four round stainless steel tailpipes.

The four Jura model rims, exclusive to Enco, ensure a suitably impressive appearance. The impressively sized 11 x 23 inch wheels fill out the oversized wheel arches, and are fitted with 315/25 R3 tyres.

The Chemnitz manufacturer is asking approx. EUR 15,000.-, including VAT, for the complete conversion including fresh paintwork.
