BMW M5 (F10) tuning
The BMW M5 (F10) (F10, 2010–2017) runs the S63 4.4L twin-turbo V8 and leaves the factory at 552 bhp · 680 Nm, RWD, 7-speed DCT. Samuel tunes the F10 Saloon 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. M5 (F10) Stage 1 alone takes it from 552 bhp · 680 Nm to 650 bhp · 850 Nm on the standard turbo, flashed over OBD on BM3, MHD or MG Flasher.
Add the Stage 2 hardware and the M5 (F10) targets 720 bhp · 900 Nm; from there the S63 stretches to around 1000 bhp on a hybrid or big-turbo build with supporting fuelling. Whichever stage suits the M5 (F10), the file is delivered within 24 hours and is fully reversible to the supplied stock calibration.

BMW M5 F10 tuning, stages, hardware and what to expect from the S63 V8
The F10 M5 runs the S63, BMW M's 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged V8, with twin-scroll housings and direct injection. From the factory, BMW M calibrated the F10 M5 at 552 bhp / 680 Nm (Competition trim 567 / 680). BMW M5 F10 tuning with Samuel exploits the substantial fuelling and turbo headroom the S63 carries from the factory, Stage 1 alone closes the gap to a stock F90 M5. The MEVD17.2.G DME flashes cleanly via the OBD port; no bench work required.
Stage 1
650 bhp · 850 Nm
No hardware required. The MEVD17.2.G DME is flashed via the OBD port, boost pressure, ignition timing, fuel delivery and torque limiters all revised. BMW M5 F10 Stage 1 unlocks 650 bhp / 850 Nm from the OEM hardware (up from 552-567 / 680 stock), with significantly more accessible torque through the mid-range. The single most cost-effective change available on the F10 M5.
Every M5 F10 tune Samuel produces is calibrated individually for the specific car, fuel grade and installed hardware, not a base map loaded and left. BMW M5 F10 tuning done correctly accounts for the F10 chassis behaviour, the M-DCT gearbox calibration and UK fuel quality; the map is reviewed against your data logs after the first flash and revised before sign-off.
Compatibility
This M5 (F10) tune runs on Bootmod3, MHD or MG Flasher — all three flash the S63 over OBD. Compare platforms or see full S63 compatibility.

FAQ
M5 (F10) tuning — frequently asked questions
It can. BMW calibrated the first-generation S63 conservatively, and Stage 1 releases that margin: 552 bhp and 680 Nm become 650 bhp and 850 Nm with every mechanical part left standard. The file writes through the OBD port using BM3, MHD or MG Flasher, and the difference is felt most in mid-range pull rather than just the headline number.
The F10 sends everything rearward, so Samuel shapes the torque delivery to build progressively rather than arrive in one hit. At 720 bhp and 900 Nm with downpipes and intakes, traction in the lower gears becomes the limiting factor before the drivetrain does, which makes decent tyres matter more than any mechanical concern at this stage.
The S63 V8 runs a pair of DMEs, one per cylinder bank, and each has to be unlocked before it will accept a modified calibration. It is a single job done once in the car's life; every flash afterwards, including going back to the standard file, happens normally over OBD.
The tune is an engine calibration, so the M DCT stays exactly as BMW built it. Torque is shaped with the transmission in mind, keeping shifts clean under load, and Samuel will always match the map's delivery to the hardware actually in the car rather than chasing a number the driveline dislikes.
Yes, octane is one of the first things Samuel asks for. The quoted Stage 1 and Stage 2 figures assume good-quality super unleaded; run something lower and the calibration is adjusted to suit rather than left to pull timing on its own. State your usual fuel when you order and the file is built around it.
