M6 (F1x)
S63
The S63 V8 in M6 coupe, convertible and Gran Coupe form, hand-calibrated from Stage 1 to a fully bespoke big-turbo build. Choose your package, send your build to Samuel, and get a tune that fits the way you actually drive.
BMW M6 (F06 / F12 / F13) tuning
Samuel starts with the M6's MEVD17.2.G DME — its specific calibration, your fuel grade, and the hardware sheet you submit. Before any map work begins, the twin-ECU S63 architecture requires a one-time unlock; after that the M6 flashes over OBD normally. Stage 1 targets 650 bhp / 850 Nm from the 552 bhp / 680 Nm factory baseline — no hardware changes beyond the ECU unlock. Stage 2 is calibrated around downpipes, midpipe and intakes, targeting 720 bhp / 900 Nm. Stage 3 is bespoke, built around the hybrid or big-turbo spec you submit. Every file hand-calibrated for the specific car — coupe, convertible or Gran Coupe — and reviewed against data logs before sign-off.

About this tune
The BMW M6 (F06 / F12 / F13) (F06 / F12 / F13, 2011–2018) runs the S63 4.4L twin-turbo V8 and leaves the factory at 552 bhp · 680 Nm, RWD, 7-speed DCT. Samuel tunes the F12 Coupe, F13 Convertible and F06 Gran 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. M6 (F1x) 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 M6 (F1x) 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 M6 (F1x), the file is delivered within 24 hours and is fully reversible to the supplied stock calibration.
Compatibility
This M6 (F1x) tune runs on Bootmod3, MHD or MG Flasher — all three flash the S63 over OBD. Compare platforms or see full S63 compatibility.

BMW M6 F1x tuning, stages, hardware and what to expect from the S63 V8
The F12 / F13 / F06 M6 runs the same first-generation S63 V8 as the F10 M5, 4.4-litre twin-turbo, twin-scroll, direct injection. From the factory, BMW M calibrated the M6 at 552 bhp / 680 Nm (Competition 567 / 680). BMW M6 F1x tuning with Samuel exploits the same OEM headroom the F10 M5 carries, the engine and DME are identical between the platforms. BMW M6 Coupe tuning, M6 Convertible tuning and M6 Gran Coupe tuning all use the same map.
Stage 1
650 bhp · 850 Nm
No hardware required. The MEVD17.2.G DME is flashed via the OBD port, boost, ignition timing, fuel delivery and torque limiters all revised. BMW M6 F1x Stage 1 unlocks 650 bhp / 850 Nm from the OEM hardware (up from 552-567 / 680 stock). The single most cost-effective change available on the F1x M6 platform.
Every M6 F1x tune Samuel produces is calibrated individually for the specific car, fuel grade and installed hardware, not a base map loaded and left. BMW M6 F1x tuning done correctly accounts for the body variant (Coupe / Convertible / Gran Coupe), 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.

FAQ
M6 (F1x) tuning — frequently asked questions
They do. All three F1x bodies, F06, F12 and F13, carry an identical S63 installation, so the stage structure and pricing are shared across the range. What is not shared is the file itself: each M6 map is written for that one car, reflecting its hardware, its fuel and anything already modified.
Stage 1 needs nothing fitted, so most owners start there, taking the standard car to 650 bhp and 850 Nm. If you plan to run downpipes and intakes, fit them first and order Stage 2, which calibrates around them for 720 bhp and 900 Nm. Tell Samuel what is on the car either way, and the file will match it.
A long way. Hybrid turbochargers take the M6 into the 800 to 1,000-plus bhp range depending on specification, and full-frame big-turbo kits with supporting fuelling reach the platform's roughly 1,000 bhp ceiling. These are bespoke calibrations: you submit the complete parts list and the map is built around it, not around an assumed setup.
Like every S63 car, the M6 carries two engine control units and both must be unlocked before a first flash, a one-time procedure per ECU. Once completed the car accepts maps over OBD indefinitely, so later stage upgrades or a return to the factory calibration need no further unlocking.
You never bring the car anywhere. Order the package, share your build details, and Samuel writes the calibration and delivers it to your BM3, MHD or MG Flasher account within 24 hours. You flash it through the OBD port yourself, keeping the original file on hand so the M6 can revert to standard whenever you want.
