About this remap

BMW Z3 M 3.2 24v 338 bhp Stage 1 — what changes

The BMW Z3 M 3.2 24v 338 bhp (1996–2002) leaves the factory at 338 BHP and 365 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 3.2 24v 338 bhp powertrain (petrol). The result is 363 BHP and 392 Nm with factory smoothness, cold-start protection and emissions behaviour retained.
