Arrow Was the 1M detuned to 340 hp ?

Wanna know a weird story ? Recently some at 1er forum (Germany) claim
that back in early 2011 BMW (allegedly) launched press car 1Ms with almost 400 hp ("power output for which the 1M was actually built") (original software code E89X-11-03-502) instead of 340 hp ("to set the 1M more apart from the 306hp of the 135i/335i")
...but later detuned those 1Ms with a software update. Reason: BMW wanted to limit wear 'n tear.
Some say they got the info confirmed by "reliable sources". They add that tuners used BMW's aggressive press car set-up software to unlock the 1M to 390-400 hp.

"Offiziell kommuniziert "Reduzierung der Streuleistung" bei dieser Soft. Da alle nach oben streuen is doch klar was das heisst. Und wenn das nach Kupplungswechsel drauf soll, dann is doch klar dass sie untenrum Drehmoment wegnehmen um die Kupplung zu schonen damit das unterdimensionierte Bauteil erst nach Garantie- und Kulanzeit verreckt."
"exakt das richtige File [E89X-11-03-502], was so ganz nebenbei das "sanfte Presse-Setup" ist mit dem die erste Charge kurzfristig aufgrund eine internen Managemententscheidung (hatten Angst das mit dem 340PS Setup zuwenig Unterschied zum 306PS ist) ausgeliefert worden ist (also die ursprünglich Limitierten Anzahl). Das "scharfe Presse-Setup" (für Hochleitungvergleichstest) hat dann ziemlich genau 400PS wofür der Motor selbst eigentlich auch konstruiert und ausgelegt aber dann politisch elektronisch eingebremst wurde. Auch der Grund warum das 390PS Tuning so schnell da war, die haben entweder das Presse-Setup kopiert oder die künstlich Limits rausgenommen. Und ich hab das unabhängig aus 3 internen Quellen ausm FIZZ und Steyr, denen ich vertrauen kann und is mir Nachweis genug.
Und es glaub doch wohl keiner das BMW das offiziell kommuniziert, ansonsten solltest Du Mami oder Papi nochmal fragen wie das mit den Bienchen ist oder dem Stroch so ist. "

Frankly speaking, I'm scratching my head because both claims seem pretty hard to believe. Does anyone have info about this ?

So what were your speeds on the 800M exit?

I don't know as the timing kit was quoting ridiculously fast speeds.

 

[bmsportzn135i]

Damn, thats not cool.
I would love to take the 135 on a 800M topend run. Just to see what it does.

I have done 221km/h on the 1km at ODI on 2 different occasions. So I reckon 800m should be around 195km/k - 200 km/h.

 

[bmsportzn135i]

raise::thumbs:
Thats pretty decent!

Ive done a fair amount of work to my 135 (fbo) and on the 400m im crossing the line at +18X km/h, but i dont think i will gain much more momentum there after.

332kw 1M! raise:
I'll take 2!

We need to get hold of that file from BMW:
original software code E89X-11-03-502

Cant you see it is the prof radio option that gives you a 332kw fake engine sound :roflol:

Seriously, this is not the first I hear about the cars delivered to Joe Public being detuned and the 390Hp (290 KW) is very plausible. I do think that the 332 KW (445 Hp) might be slightly optimistic

ACS software takes it up to 294 kW and 560Nm, and it's m/p friendly.

I miss this car.
