BMW 116d Stage 1

This BMW 116d went from 116hp and 260Nm to 150hp and 320Nm with our Stage 1 calibration, a gain of 34hp and 60Nm.

Exactly how it should have left the factory

The 116d is built for efficiency but can feel underpowered. Torque now arrives earlier and carries better through the rev range, making overtakes easier and everyday driving far less effort.

ECU and tools

This car has a Bosch EDC17C41 ECU and was calibrated through the diagnostic port with AutoTuner.

Included

  • Speed limiter solution
  • Original ECU file stored

Is a 116d worth remapping?

Yes, for daily drivers it is one of the best value upgrades. We come to you across Bristol, North Somerset, Somerset and South Wales.

About this job

The results

From 116hp as standard to 150hp, the BMW 116d gained 34hp, roughly 29% more power.

Torque rose from 260Nm to 320Nm (+60Nm), which is what you feel most in everyday driving: stronger pull from low revs and easier overtaking.

What the work involved

This was a Stage 1 calibration: no hardware changes, just carefully refined engine software. Boost, fuelling, timing and torque limits are adjusted within safe margins for more usable performance every day.

How we carried it out

  • Diagnostic scan for stored faults before any work
  • Stabilised power supply connected while programming
  • Original software read and saved, so the car can be returned to standard
  • Calibration written, then the car checked again afterwards
