CBPRC-0047 – Performance Controller Stage 2 for BMW G8X M3 and M4 Competition xDrive & RWD

The CarBahn Performance Controller (CPC) is an easy-to-install electronic control unit (ECU) that significantly boosts the turbocharged cars’ horsepower and torque. This plug-and-play unit offers selectable maps, which can be accessed through a smartphone application via Bluetooth.

To access this app, you can download them from either the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.

NOTE: This product is only compatible with Automatic Transmission equipped cars.

These maps are designed to accommodate different octane fuels for additional increased performance. You can choose between 91, 93 and 100 Octane. As with all CarBahn products an optional powertrain warranty can be purchased.

Additionally, CarBahn offers an optional powertrain warranty for all their products, including the CPC.

If you want to trade your CarBahn Performance Controller in for software in the future, there is a $250 upgrade fee and if you purchased the warranty, it is transferable to the software at no additional charge!

Emissions legality:

Let us address the topic of removing the catalyst, commonly achieved through the utilization of downpipes. Our rigorous testing regimen involved conducting consecutive dyno runs with and without the catalyst, and the observed power gain was significantly smaller than commonly touted, typically around 11 HP. Nevertheless, it is important to acknowledge our shared responsibility towards environmental preservation, as clean air is vital to our well-being. Furthermore, obtaining the necessary emissions certifications without a catalyst is a daunting task and, from a legal standpoint, it is considered an infringement.
