BMW Tuning, Built and Tested in Manchester

BMW Specialists

Manchester’s BMW Tuning Specialists

117Speed is a Manchester tuning workshop built around one engine family: BMW, and the BMW-derived engines under the bonnets of the Toyota GR Supra and the Ineos Grenadier. Every car that comes through the door goes on our own four-wheel-drive dyno, gets a full health check before any work starts, and leaves with a map built from its own logs, not a generic file loaded from a shelf.

We cover the full range, from a straightforward Stage 1 remap on a daily-driven 3 Series to a fully bespoke big-turbo build on an M3 or M5. We also service a wider range of European makes. BMW tuning is what the workshop is actually built around.

In-House

ECU Unlocking, Now Done In-House

Every ECU has to be unlocked before it can be recalibrated, and until now that’s meant sending it away and waiting. That’s no longer the case here. 117Speed unlocks ECUs in-house, using both AutoTuner and FEMTO — the two tools the trade relies on for this. It’s the same low-level access a tuning file needs either way; the difference is that the process now happens on-site rather than through a third party.

That covers effectively everything we tune. The only ECUs that still have to leave the building are the 2026 Euro 7 S58 cars and the 2026 B58 Gen 3, and even then it’s a 3–4 day turnaround rather than the open-ended wait sending an ECU away used to mean.

About Us

About 117Speed

Prefer Remote Tuning?

Everything here is calibrated by Samuel, whether your car’s on the dyno in Manchester or you’re sending logs in from anywhere else. The exception is the S58 (current M2, M3, M4, X3 M and X4 M), which needs an in-person ECU unlock and so is workshop-only.

Questions

FAQs

The things drivers ask us most before booking a remap.

Will a remap affect my warranty?
A remap modifies the manufacturer's software, which can affect your warranty. We always back up your original file so the car can be returned to stock, and we're happy to talk through the implications for your specific vehicle before any work is done.
Is a remap safe for my engine?
Every map is developed in-house on our four-wheel-drive dyno and validated with live data logging, staying within safe limits for your engine and drivetrain. We run a full health check first so we only tune a mechanically sound car.
How much power will I gain?
Gains depend on your exact vehicle, engine and current spec. As a guide, a Stage 1 remap on a BMW M140i adds around 95 bhp and 140 Nm — we'll give you a realistic figure for your car before you book.
Do I need any hardware for Stage 2?
Stage 2 typically requires supporting hardware such as a downpipe or intake to unlock its full potential. We'll advise exactly what your car needs and can supply and fit everything under one roof.
How long does it take?
Most Stage 1 remaps are completed within a day, including the health check, dyno runs and road test. More involved builds or hardware fitment may take longer — we'll confirm timings when you book.
