About the remap

Stage 1 optimization for the BMW 1 serie 118i 129hp increases power from 129 to 147 hp (+18 hp, +14%). Naturally aspirated petrol engines have limited scope for power gains, but optimizing ignition and fueling maps delivers a smoother power delivery, more responsive throttle, and a noticeably more pleasant driving experience.

The remap is performed on the Bosch MEV1746 ECU (engine code N46B20) via the OBD2 diagnostic port – no ECU removal required. We use Alientech K-TAG, Alientech KESSv2, Dimsport New Genius. Results are verified with a dynamometer measurement.

In addition to Stage 1, we offer the following services for the BMW 1 serie 118i 129hp: XHP gearbox tuning. All work is performed using professional equipment.

Every vehicle undergoes full diagnostics before and after the remap. We keep a backup of the original ECU calibration and guarantee the option to revert to stock settings at any time. JVK PRO is a professional chip tuning service in Riga with 16 years of experience.
