About this remap
BMW 8-serie XDrive40i 340 hp Stage 1 — what changes
The BMW 8-serie XDrive40i 340 hp (2019–) leaves the factory at 340 BHP and 450 Nm of torque. Manufacturers deliberately detune this engine to separate it from more expensive variants in the range — a Regal Tuning Stage 1 calibration safely recovers that headroom through the ECU alone: no hardware changes, no dyno risk, fully reversible.
Fuelling, boost pressure, ignition and torque limiters are optimised within the safe tolerances of the XDrive40i 340 hp powertrain (petrol). The result is 420 BHP and 580 Nm with factory smoothness, cold-start protection and emissions behaviour retained.
