About this remap

BMW 5 Series M5 552 bhp Stage 1 — what changes

The BMW 5 Series M5 552 bhp (2011–2016) leaves the factory at 552 BHP and 681 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 M5 552 bhp powertrain (petrol). The result is 653 BHP and 941 Nm with factory smoothness, cold-start protection and emissions behaviour retained.
