CBS58-0001 – EVO Smooth Power Stage 1 Software for BMW X3M and X4 M Base, Competition 2019-2020

CarBahn’s EVO intelligent software has the ability to adapt to a large range of fuels octanes. Our software retunes and keeps all safety features that are moved out of the way by most tuners. To get a better understanding of these safety limits watch this video. Retuning the safety limits gives our software the ability to adapt smoothly from 91 octane to 100 octane and because it can adapt and still make maximum power with each octane you do not need to purchase a custom tune if you are running race gas! It is designed to deliver the highest safe output possible. Intelligent software means software tuned correctly, not over-tuned.  We always try to make a natural torque curve, not excessive torque at low RPM that falls off rapidly at high RPM.To get a better understanding of our torque limiting watch this video.  Excessive torque will break the tires loose, break the engine and drivetrain. Managed torque with a smooth delivery makes the car easier to drive thereby faster and more reliable. Most if not all our competitor tunes attempt to run too much boost, and then compromise reliability by reducing knock sensitivity and thermal protections in an attempt to extract extra power which can cause engine damage.

Durability:

Most if not all tunes on the market except CarBahn reduce safety parameters in the software to extract more power. These safety parameters such as knock control sensitivity, super knocking control sensitivity, and catalyst thermal protection are tuned into your OEM software to prevent engine and catalyst failure. When we reduced all the supposed power robbing software protections, we lost less than 12 HP. We have seen many damaged engines as result of reducing these safety parameters! It hardly seems worth it for 12HP.

Doing it yourself:

A note on self-tuning tools. There are now programs available that you can buy to tune your car yourself. Many of these tools come with canned programs. Most if not all of these canned programs have safety limits moved out of the way making it very easy to damage your engine. Tuning a high output engine requires tremendous knowledge and experience to extract maximum power without damage.

Emissions legality: 

A note on down pipes (removing the catalyst). We have run back-to-back dyno runs with the cat on and off and the power gain is much smaller than most people claim usually around 11hp. We all need to breathe the air. It is difficult to get your car its required emissions test without catalyst and it is illegal.
