About this tune
The G82 M4 CS (2023-present) is the lightweight, more aggressive derivative of the G82 M4 Competition, same S58 twin-scroll twin-turbo straight-six, with a sharper factory map (550 bhp / 650 Nm vs 503 / 650 on the standard Competition). Coupe only, xDrive only, M-DCT only. The CS treatment includes lighter wheels, a stiffer chassis setup and an aggressive factory throttle calibration, and it tunes identically to every other S58 car from a hardware ceiling standpoint.
BMW M4 CS (G82) tuning
The BMW M4 CS (G82) (G82, 2021–present) runs the S58 and leaves the factory at 550 bhp · 650 Nm, M xDrive, 8-speed M Steptronic. Samuel tunes the G82 Coupe to the same standard — every map hand-calibrated for the specific car, its fuel grade and its installed hardware, not a base file loaded and left. M4 CS (G82) Stage 1 alone takes it from 550 bhp · 650 Nm to 650 bhp · 800 Nm on the standard turbo, flashed over OBD on BM3, MHD or MG Flasher.
Add the Stage 2 hardware and the M4 CS (G82) targets 720 bhp · 900 Nm; from there the S58 stretches to around 1500 bhp on a hybrid or big-turbo build with supporting fuelling. Whichever stage suits the M4 CS (G82), the file is delivered within 24 hours and is fully reversible to the supplied stock calibration.

BMW M4 CS (G82) tuning, stages, hardware and what to expect from the S58
The G82 M4 CS runs the S58, same twin-scroll twin-turbo straight-six as the standard G82 M4 Competition and the G80 M3 / M3 CS. BMW set the M4 CS at 550 bhp / 650 Nm versus 503 / 650 on the standard M4 Competition. The engine, turbos, fuelling and DME are identical between the cars; the CS adds a sharper factory map, a stiffer chassis setup and lighter wheels. BMW M4 CS G82 tuning with Samuel uses the same map ethos as the standard M4 Competition, the CS just starts from a higher baseline, so the Stage 1 / Stage 2 ceilings sit at the same final figure.
Stage 1
650 bhp · 800 Nm
No hardware required. The MG1 DME is flashed via the OBD port, boost pressure, ignition timing, fuel delivery and torque limiters all revised. BMW M4 CS Stage 1 unlocks 650 bhp / 800 Nm from the OEM hardware (up from 550 / 650 stock). Same Stage 1 ceiling as the standard G82 M4, the hardware is identical between the two trim levels.
Every M4 CS tune Samuel produces is calibrated individually for the specific car, fuel grade and installed hardware, not a base map loaded and left. BMW M4 CS G82 tuning done correctly accounts for the CS chassis stiffness, the M-DCT calibration and UK fuel quality; the map is reviewed against your data logs after the first flash and revised before sign-off.

FAQ
M4 CS (G82) tuning — frequently asked questions
M4 CS (G82) Stage 1 lifts the S58 from a stock 550 bhp · 650 Nm to 650 bhp · 800 Nm, with no hardware required. The map is flashed through the OBD port on BM3, MHD or MG Flasher and is the starting point for almost every M4 CS (G82) owner — broader torque and sharper throttle response from the factory hardware.
This page covers the G82 Coupe (G82). They share the S58 engine and run the same core calibration, but every M4 CS (G82) tune Samuel delivers is tailored to your exact car, fuel grade and installed hardware — never a base map loaded and left.
Stage 2 on the M4 CS (G82) targets 720 bhp · 900 Nm and needs downpipes + midpipe + intakes. Everything else — turbo, fuel system, intercooler — holds within the Stage 2 figures on the S58.
On the right hardware spec the S58 in the M4 CS (G82) reaches around 1500 bhp. Stage 1 and Stage 2 run the standard turbo; beyond that needs a hybrid or full big-turbo conversion with supporting fuelling, and the calibration is built bespoke per car.
Yes — later M4 CS (G82) (G82) cars ship with a locked DME that must be unlocked once before any map can be written. It's a one-time step; after that the M4 CS (G82) flashes normally over OBD and the tune is fully reversible to the supplied stock file.
Remotely. Once Samuel has your build details, the calibrated M4 CS (G82) map is delivered to your flashing tool account (BM3, MHD or MG Flasher) within 24 hours and you flash it yourself over OBD in about 15 minutes. It's fully reversible — the original S58 stock file is supplied before you flash, so the car can return to factory at any time.
A factory warranty can be voided if BMW shows a tune caused a specific failure, so it's a personal call. Samuel's M4 CS (G82) maps are calibrated to stay within the mechanical limits of the S58 hardware, and because the tune is reversible to stock before any dealer visit, many owners run a tuned M4 CS (G82) without issue.
