Stage 2 is engineered for vehicles fitted with supporting hardware upgrades such as downpipes, upgraded intake systems, intercoolers and performance spark plugs. These calibrations allow the engine to safely produce significantly greater performance while maintaining smooth operation and long-term consistency.
Every Stage 2 calibration is individually tailored to suit your exact hardware combination and fuel quality.
- Designed for modified vehicles
- Supports upgraded bolt-on hardware
- Increased power and torque output
- Sharper acceleration and stronger top-end performance
- Custom calibrated to suit your setup
WERKE Calibration Development by TUNE+
Every WERKE ECU calibration is custom developed by TUNE+ and validated in-house using our Mainline Prohub 3600CS Dyno.
Rather than chasing unrealistic dyno figures, WERKE calibrations prioritise:
- Smooth and repeatable performance
- Safe ignition and boost strategies
- Strong real-world acceleration
- Reliable operation under Australian conditions
- OEM-level drivability and refinement
The result is a vehicle that feels sharper, faster and more responsive while maintaining the reliability expected from the BMW S58 platform.
Stage Calibration Information
Actual performance gains vary depending on vehicle model, fuel quality, hardware configuration and drivetrain condition.
If you would like to discuss expected power figures or determine the ideal setup for your vehicle, please contact our team.
WERKE Performance Philosophy
WERKE calibrations are designed to enhance the complete driving experience, not simply produce large dyno numbers.
We focus on creating vehicles that feel sharper, smoother and more engaging in real-world driving situations while maintaining long-term mechanical reliability.
Every calibration is built with a balance of:
- Throttle response
- Torque delivery
- Thermal management
- Transmission behaviour
- Long-term engine safety
Understanding Your Calibration Options
Please select the calibration option best suited to your vehicle configuration:
- Stage 1 / Stage 2 For stock or lightly modified vehicles
- Flex Fuel For vehicles fitted with flex fuel hardware running ethanol blends
- Hybrid Turbos For vehicles fitted with upgraded hybrid turbochargers
- Flex Fuel + Hybrid Turbos For vehicles running both flex fuel and hybrid turbo upgrades
Please Note: Flex fuel hardware is not included with tuning purchases.
BMW xHP Transmission Tune Upgrade
To further enhance gearbox performance, shift speed and drivability, we strongly recommend pairing your ECU calibration with a WERKE Custom xHP TCU Tune.
xHP transmission tuning improves:
- Shift speed and responsiveness
- Torque management behaviour
- Launch control performance
- Gearbox calibration logic
- Overall drivability under spirited driving
xHP TCU tuning is available as an additional upgrade option for supported BMW automatic applications.
DME Unlock Information - Important
Some modern BMW platforms require a DME (ECU) unlock before custom tuning can be performed. Unlock requirements vary depending on vehicle production date, ECU version and software level.
In most cases, BMW models produced prior to July 2020 can typically be bench unlocked in-house at our Castle Hill workshop. Newer vehicles generally require a FEMTO unlock service before tuning can proceed.
During the booking and consultation process, our team will confirm whether your vehicle requires unlocking and advise the appropriate process for your specific platform.
DME unlock services are not included in the advertised tuning price unless otherwise specified.
If you are unsure whether your BMW requires a DME unlock, please contact our team directly:
Spark Plug Requirement - Important Information
For all in-house custom ECU tuning appointments, vehicles must be fitted with fresh spark plugs prior to tuning.
Worn or unsuitable spark plugs can lead to ignition issues, poor performance and potential engine damage under increased load.
If required, our workshop can supply and fit the correct spark plugs during your appointment at additional cost.
Tuning Delivery Options
WERKE Custom ECU Tunes are available both in-house at our Castle Hill workshop and remotely for supported vehicles.
- In-House Custom Tune Vehicle is tuned at our Castle Hill workshop using live dyno development and road testing.
- Remote Custom Tune Calibration is supplied remotely for supported vehicles and platforms.
Following purchase, our team will contact you to organise your booking and discuss your vehicle setup.
Please add your preferred booking date within the order comments at checkout.
If you are unsure which option best suits your vehicle, please contact our team prior to purchase.
