Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 507 to 600 hp (+93 hp, +18%) and torque from 700 to 800 Nm (+100 Nm). ECU — Siemens/Continental MSD85. Flashing method: OBD or Bench depending on the unit's protection. The 2010 generation — mid-generation petrol ECUs (MEDC17/MEVD17/Simos PCR), OBD flash on production revisions.

Alpina is a German BMW tuning brand, founded in 1965. Alpina is known for a balanced calibration that sits between stock BMW and M GmbH. Alpina specialises in premium tuned versions of BMW (B5, B7, XB7, B8). Top M GmbH engines offer significant potential with a downpipe + intake.

The BMW community is renowned for active tuning and a large pool of available Stage files. Top BMW engines confidently reach Stage 2 with a downpipe + intake + intercooler. On older and mid-generation BMWs, Stage 1 is flashed over OBD without Bench. Bench reading is the standard procedure for top engines in modern models. Top BMW engines sit at the power ceiling, and the gain is significant. A well-known base once hardware is added (downpipe + intake + intercooler).
