How to unlock your F90 M5 ECU for Tuning - Full DIY Tutorial

  • All BMWs built after June 2020 have their ECU locked in such a way that there is no simple unlock procedure. For a long time tuning them was impossible! But now they can be tuned via a company called FEMTO, but you need to remove your ECU and physically send it to them.
    In this video we guide you through the entire process, from removing your ECU, to tuning the car once they are unlocked.
    We offer an express service for this if you want to send your ECUs to us, or we can carry out the entire process including tuning if you wish to drop the car to us and pick it up ready to go.

    Hey Imram, I have an odd question. We have 93 AKI here in the US, which is 98 RON over in the UK. Recently, Sunoco reintroduced 94 AKI octane here, which is 99 RON UK and you've guys mentioned you use that with your dyno runs and such. Would I see a benefit running 99 over 98 in a car meant for this sort of gas?

    • @EvolveAutomotive
      @EvolveAutomotive  Рік тому +1

      Typically 98/99 is fairly interchangeable, from memory BP ultimate is 98. Would I use it for a race event or getting performance data? No. But other than those times where I need every tiny bit of performance 98 is perfectly acceptable.
      When custom tuning we tell customers to run whatever fuel they would normally, and we push to the limit of that fuel, whatever it may be.

    Doesnt Bootmod3 unlocks it without removing the ecu, with the same steps with the windows, seatbelts etc

    • @EvolveAutomotive
      @EvolveAutomotive  Рік тому

      No, all tuning platforms require this same unlock. We can custom tune via BM3 once this process is carried out.

      It’s entirely possible the Femto process is possible through OBD, we don’t know as they’re protecting the process to stop it being patched.

    Femto has been doing this unlock for the G80 as well same process to unlock.
    I don’t understand why they haven’t used a universal unlock so I don’t have to uninstall the ecu and send it to them.
    Another negative is if BMW sends and OTA update it wipes the ecu and locking it Agia n. I know many will disable the ota update to retain the tune. Christ what a pain in the ass

    • @EvolveAutomotive
      @EvolveAutomotive  Рік тому +1

      Yes, we will be doing a tutorial for G8X also.
      They are being very cautious about the unlock as Bosch as supposedly are in a contract with BMW with financial clauses if the ECU is cracked, which it has been. So they are incredibly motivated to fix the flaw, and then we can’t tune at all.
