About this tune

The G02 X4 M40i (2018-present) is the coupe-SUV variant of the X3 M40i, same B58 Gen 2 drivetrain, same MG1CS003 ECU, in a lower-roofline body with the same xDrive system. Stock is 374 bhp / 500 Nm. The X4 M40i is the rarer of the two SUV variants in the UK; tuning works identically to the X3 M40i and uses the same map.

BMW X4 M40i tuning

The B58 Gen 2 in the G02 X4 M40i is the same 3.0-litre single-turbo straight-six fitted to the X3 M40i, M340i, M440i and Z4 M40i — same MG1CS003 DME, same hardware ceiling, coupe-SUV body. Stage 1 targets 440 bhp / 680 Nm from OEM hardware: 66 bhp / 180 Nm gained with no mechanical changes. Stage 2 adds downpipe (OPF delete if applicable) and intake for 480 bhp / 700 Nm. The X4's lower roofline and slightly different xDrive rear bias mean the power delivery character differs from the X3 M40i; the calibration accounts for both. Every map hand-calibrated for the specific car — not the model family.

The G02 X4 M40i (2018–2025) is the coupe-SUV variant of the X3 M40i — same B58 Gen 2 drivetrain, same MG1CS003 ECU, lower roofline and slightly more aerodynamic body. xDrive standard, 8-speed ZF automatic. The X4 M40i is the rarer of the two M40i SUV variants in the UK; the tuning path is identical to the X3 M40i. Samuel calibrates the G02 to the same standard. xHP gearbox calibration is available as an add-on and is recommended at Stage 2 and above.

Engine guide

What the X4 M40i map revision covers: B58 Gen 2 stages explained

The numbers progression on the B58 Gen 2 is straightforward: 440 bhp / 680 Nm at Stage 1, 480 bhp / 700 Nm at Stage 2. In the X4's coupe-SUV body the torque gain is absorbed with a slightly different chassis feel than in the M340i — the lower centre of gravity makes the additional torque more apparent through direction changes. The TU fuel pump is factory-fitted on all B58 Gen 2 cars, so no additional pump upgrade is required for Stage 2. Stage 3 is bespoke around whatever hybrid or big-turbo spec is submitted. Every map is log-reviewed after the first flash before sign-off.

Stage 1

440 bhp · 680 Nm

No hardware required. The MG1CS003 DME is flashed via the OBD port. BMW X4 M40i Stage 1 unlocks 440 bhp and 680 Nm from the OEM hardware (up from 374 / 500 stock). The BMW X4 M40i G02 tuning starting point, the most cost-effective change you can make to BMW's coupe-SUV performance variant.

Every X4 M40i tune Samuel produces is calibrated individually for the specific car, fuel grade and installed hardware, not a base map loaded and left. BMW X4 M40i tuning done correctly accounts for the G02 chassis weight, xDrive calibration and UK fuel quality; the map is reviewed against your data logs after the first flash and revised before sign-off.

Compatibility

This X4 M40i tune runs on Bootmod3, MHD or MG Flasher — all three flash the B58 Gen 2 over OBD. Compare platforms or see full B58 Gen 2 compatibility.
