Chiptuning med CPA PowerBox för en tydlig mereffekt för ditt fordon. Effektökningen med PowerBox Nitro kan sättas på med fjärrkontroll och anpasser sig till körsituationen.

Vid våra tester förlitar vi oss alltid på omfattande dynotester, inklusive avgasmätning och provning av arbetstemperaturerna hos olika motordelar. Vi använder en uppsättning externa temperaturgivare som kontrollerar och registrerar de viktiga driftstemperaturerna hos olika motordelar med och utan avstämning. Med nya motorer utförs intensiva provningar alltid vid full belastning och med maximal effektökning.

(5) Den ovan nämnda accelerationsförbättring från 0 till 100 km/h är en maximalt nåbar besparing som kan avvika på grund av serietoleransen av de enstaka bilarna.Kärnstorleken hos en processor kan förstås illustrativt som förskjutningen av förbränningsmotorer. Ju större kärnstorlek, desto högre klockfrekvens (kartoptimering) kan utformas. Huvuduppgiften för säker chiptuning är att använda befintliga effektreserver så att inget extra slitage sker. Dessutom detekterar motorsäkertssystemet i PowerBox termisk överbelastning i god tid och reglerar effektökningen dynamiskt. PowerBox levereras med programvaran anpassad för din bil och dess bästa möjliga standardinställningar. Om du vill kan du justera inställningen senare till dina önskemål. Detaljerade instruktioner ingår.Vi har nagelfarit BMW 335i E90 i förbindelse med vår CPA PowerBox. Resultaten? En kraftökning av upp till 80 HK och uttrycksfulla 104 Nm är möjlig med vår PowerBox. Våra extra styrenheter (PowerBox) fungerar alltid intelligent och situationsberoende med vår specialutvecklade programvara. Vi uppnår därmed att en optimering av kartorna endast sker vid behov (vid acceleration eller överkörning). En annan viktig motorskyddsfunktion är strypningen av inställningen för långa resor vid full belastning (t.ex. fri motorväg). Vi hoppas att ni har lagt fram denna viktiga rättsliga information på ett tydligt och begripligt sätt. Om du fortfarande har frågor är du välkommen att kontakta oss.

The rule of thumb is to add another 20% when specifying an injector, which takes into account injector deterioration and provides some spare capacity should the engine need more fuel. To adequately support a diverse variety of vehicles, the ”generic one set for all models” approach is obviously a mistake as engine weights and equipment trim levels all affect the cars handling characteristics. The exhaust & intake valve durations play a major role in your cars power band, but be careful here, getting this wrong can upset the idle and make the car challenging to drive in traffic. You’d need to follow a camshaft upgrade with other mods and finish with a tune/remap for the best performance gains.

Adding a little negative camber to the front and a degree or two of toe (in for better stability or out to improve cornering), will greatly benefit your x7 in handling and cornering.If you’ve enjoyed this page we would be very grateful if you could share a link to it on your favourite forums or on your social media profiles, it helps us keep going.

I do not charge you to access this website and it saves most TorqueCars readers $100’s each year – but we are NON PROFIT and not even covering our costs. To keep us running PLEASE Donate hereYou will need to ensure that the engine is not starved of fuel so need to look at the fuelling when you start going beyond 20% of a torque increase.We would recommend you to be generous with your injector capacity.Maximum power gains come from a full induction kit with a cold air feed on heavily tuned engines, this can be sited within an air box but a performance panel filter should suffice for most applications. TorqueCars suggest you use a panel air filter as these are easy to clean and maintain and generally perform better than paper ones.

For this reason endeavour to keep the overall rolling diameter of the wheel the same as supplied from the factory. In all cases without going above 19 inches.Turbo engines are just pleading to be Reprogrammed. You will see phenomenal power gains on most modern turbo engined cars including diesels making a tune/remap one of the most cost effective and phenomenal modifications for your money.

Gas flowing the head will allow you to maximise your air/fuel charge. Leave this to a professional though with a proper flow bench and machine tools A good fast road upgraded clutch will help to keep that power going where it should. We love hearing about our website visitors projects, especially the mods done and which work best for you on your car. Which helps us keep our guides and tips up to date helping others with their modified car projects. Your feedback and comments are used to keep this page up to date, and help improve the accuracy of these articles which are kept updated and constantly revised. Turbos are often harder to add than a supercharger. Turbos give boost in exponential proportion to the engine speed and this can make mapping difficult.Our aim here is to review and look at x7 tuning and outline the optimum mods that work. BMW x7 offer good returns when tuned and with the ultimate performance parts like a remap, turbo upgrades and camshafts you will dramatically improve your driving opportunities.

In every day driving the brakes are only applied now and then and won’t be all that effective so select brake pads which have a low working temperature.The X7 is a best of a car, aimed at the large luxury SUV market where it actually performs really well. A great overall design and choice of great engines finish off what is a great package.

To be completely frank and honest, on the more modest engine sizes you are wasting your time spending money on modifications, so if this applies to you get yourself an engine swap then apply the following mods.A common misconception is that a non-adjustable suspension system that lowers the vehicle by90mm from a franchised component shop is the best option. But suspension design and setup is quite complex.Using higher octane petrol is another option if you find you are suffering from pinking or premature ignition on your BMW project after fitting other motorsport modifications. Improved injectors will enable you to supply sufficient fuel to the engine.

It is simpler to map a supercharger because the boost is proportional to engine speed on a linear curve. Decreasing the engines compression ratio will allow you to add forced induction, water injection may also help prevent detonation.Alloy wheels will help the brake cooling and are generally less heavy than steel ones. Don’t forget that your choice of rubber greatly affects your cars grip and handling. It is not worth compromising performance with cheap tyres when you can buy track legal slick performance tires.

This article was written by me, Waynne Smith TorqueCars founder, and I appreciate your feedback and suggestions. This entry was filed under BMW. You can leave a response below or join our forum to discuss this article and car modification in detail with our members. Typical stage 3 mods often include: Adding or upgrading forced induction (turbo/supercharger), Sports gearbox, Engine balancing, Competition cam, Internal engine upgrades (pistons/head/valves). Sports exhausts increase the flow of gases through the engine. But if your exhaust is too big, ie: it’s over 2.5 inches bore, you will lose a lot of the exhaust flow rate and end up lacking power and torque.If you would like to know more, or just get some friendly advice on Tuning your car please join us in our friendly forum where you can discuss x7 options in more detail with our x7 owners. It would also be worth reading our unbiased BMW tuning articles to get a full grasp of the benefits and drawbacks of each modification.

We suggest that you fit motorsport suspension and lower the car by 27mm – 38 mm. Larger drops require arch work – especially on models already equipped with motorsport suspension.In this article we shall give a little insight into the world to the best performance parts for your car, but we’d encourage you to spend some time on the site looking into the details of each type of performance upgrade.Fast road cams offer one of the biggest bhp gains for your money as far as a bolt on sports upgrades goes on a NA (naturally aspirated) engine. Getting the best sports parts for your planned usage of the car is a time and money saver. Stage 3 motor sport mods just don’t work well on the road and will make the car undrivable. Nivå 5. – Om produkten är i ett sådant skick att den bedöms vara osäljbar eller att en reparation inte är ekonomiskt försvarbar: 100 % i värdeminskningsavdrag. Om du frånträder detta avtal kommer vi att betala tillbaka alla betalningar vi fått från dig, bland dem ingår inte leveranskostnader (men då räknas inte extra leveranskostnader till följd av att du valt något annat leveranssätt än den billigaste standardleverans vi erbjuder).

Yes, prices start from over £170,000 for the Performante version but that could be seen as relatively good value for a practical Lamborghini with supercar-baiting performance and genuine off-road capability. Of course, you’ll be rocketing past £200,000 with a few option boxes ticked.

This level of performance becomes all the more incredible when you bear in mind the Model X will seat seven and can cruise in near-silence on the motorway. It may lack the wow-factor of a Purosangue or Urus Performante but you can’t argue with that kind of pace.The Tesla Model 3 Performance became an Internet legend thanks to its startling off-the-line pace, and now the same powertrain is offered in the Model Y Performance crossover. Dual motors at the front and rear axles provide instant torque and plentiful traction, launching the hottest version of the big-selling Tesla SUV from standstill to 62mph in a hushed 3.5 seconds. Not bad given its relatively affordable (£60,000) price tag and non-existant tailpipe emissions.

Is Kia’s EV6 an SUV? The debate will rage on but it’s certainly got ‘crossover’ elements to its design and what’s not in doubt is that the GT version is stupendously fast – mind-boggling so by Kia’s previous standards.The Model Y Performance isn’t quite as adept when it comes to tackling corners, although its grip levels will satisfy most drivers. The ride is fairly brittle, and there’s not much feel through the steering wheel so its strength definitely lies on straight, and preferably wide, tarmac.

The 715bhp, 6.5-litre V12 engine pushed way back to the rear of the engine bay produces an experience unlike any other SUV. The 0-62mph sprint of 3.3s puts it firmly towards the top of our fastest SUVs list and the 192mph top speed is only narrowly beaten by its rival from Aston Martin.Its 4.0-litre V8 petrol has been tuned to bring the Cayenne Turbo GT’s power up to 631bhp with maximum torque of 850Nm. In typical Porsche fashion, there are numerous other upgrades too, making this a car that can waft its way to the Nurburgring and turn in a few very lively lap times before whisking you home again in comfort.Aston Martin bills the new DBX707 as the ’fastest luxury SUV in the world’. While Tesla’s definition of luxury probably differs from Aston Martin’s, there’s no arguing that the DBX707 is a seriously impressive SUV.The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk might not have the performance car brand equity of some of the other SUVs in this list, but it more than makes up for it with 707bhp and 881Nm of torque on tap. The engine comes out of a Dodge Challenger Hellcat and it’s a raucous 6.2-litre supercharged HEMI V8. The soundtrack is sensational, so don’t be surprised to see your fuel gauge drop with every dab of the throttle.

Gone are the days when all SUVs were lumbering and slow. Advances in powertrain technology and a shift in focus from off-road to on-road performance mean that even the biggest 4x4s can now compete with supercars when it comes to acceleration. Indeed, the popularity of the SUV formula right across the modern car market has seen many supercar manufacturers build one of their own. It all means that the title of ‘fastest SUV’ is more keenly fought-over than ever.

Since then, BMW’s M division has tinkered with both, and the current versions are among the fastest SUVs in the world. Competition badged models have the twin-turbocharged 4.4-litre V8 from the M8 Competition and 48-volt mild hybrid power, which combined produce a whopping 626bhp. The 0-62mph times stand at 3.6 seconds and if you opt for the M Driver’s Package, the 155mph speed limiter is lifted and you’ll roar onto 180mph. If you’d prefer to judge the fastest SUV by top speed rather than 0-62mph time, The Aston Martin DBX707 is the winner with a 193mph maximum. Described as “the Supercar of SUVs” by Aston Martin, the DBX707 moves high-riding models even closer to the 200mph barrier. To push its bodywork at these speeds, there’s a mighty 697bhp (707PS) tuned version of its 4.0-litre twin-turbo petrol V8, with a revised nine-speed automatic gearbox and 900Nm of torque. The Korean cruise missile has a dual-motor electric powertrain that delivers four-wheel drive. You’ll be glad of the extra traction too, because there’s 577bhp and 740Nm of torque, enough for a 3.5s 0-62mph time and a 162mph top speed.

Thanks to its boxy design and general bulk, the average SUV wages a constant war against the laws of physics. What these top-performing models show is that a portly kerb weight and garden shed aerodynamics are no obstacle to some serious hustle if there’s enough raw power on call. Just don’t mention the fuel economy, or even the efficiency of the electric cars when driven in this manner.A twin-turbo V8 nicked from the Porsche Cayenne Turbo has been tuned to a stonking 657bhp in the Performante model. Select the sportier drive modes and you’ll be intoxicated by the noises coming out of the exhaust as you roar from 0 to 62mph in a scarcely believable 3.3 seconds.

Both the original X5 and X6 were pioneers in their own right. While the X5 showed BMW could make an SUV with surprisingly car-like handling, the X6 heralded the rise of the coupe-SUV class.The standard DBX borrows a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 from Mercedes-AMG and in the DBX707 that same engine is tuned to a monstrous 697bhp. To handle the extra torque (all 900Nm of it), Aston has also fitted a new transmission featuring a wet clutch system and tuned the suspension for even sharper dynamics.The Model X’s brutal acceleration has been well-documented online with multiple videos of the all-electric SUV embarrassing supercars in drag races. The most wickedly powerful Plaid model will see 60mph come and go in 2.5 seconds – although if you regularly do this the 333-mile range drops dramatically.The Porsche Cayenne was the original uber-SUV, and if it wasn’t for the likes of Lamborghini, Ferrari and Aston Martin arriving on the scene, it would still be the undisputed driver’s choice in the class today. A 0-62mph time of 3.3 seconds is supercar performance in anyone’s language and being a Porsche, the Cayenne Turbo GT can back its straight-line pace up with agility levels that belie its size.

As hard to pronounce as it is to catch, the Purosangue is the car that many Ferrari fans didn’t want to see built but thousands of Ferrari customers around the world were crying out for. Whatever your views on the prancing horse badge adorning the nose of an SUV, you can’t argue that Ferrari hasn’t done the job properly.The seats are highly comfortable, it’s as if wind- and road-noise has been snuffed out by goose-down pillows, and the Bowers and Wilkins hi-fi in our car basically turned the entire cabin into a pair of expensive noise-cancelling headphones.It doesn’t feel it, but the X7 is now mid-way through its life cycle having launched in 2019 and needs this refresh in order to keep it on-par with the new seventh-gen 7 Series. For those that didn’t like the looks of the original X7, then the bad news is you’re probably not going to like this one, either. BMW’s doubled-down on the controversy of its latest designs by complementing the ginormous grille with the headlight design and front apron from the 7 Series. Bold.

Despite the cushy ride, BMW engineers have targeted best-in-class dynamics – indeed, one chassis expert with a background in WTCC and DTM was quick to quash any fears that this would be BMW’s least dynamic car (and mumbled something about front-wheel-drive 2-series).The increased array of driver assistance systems is certainly worth a mention and includes a broader range of functions from the front-collision warning system, a new exit warning function (alerts occupants to a risk of collision when opening the door) and something called Manoeuvre Assistant.

Row three also includes Isofix child-seat mounting points – not all seven seaters do, which means child seats have to be locked into row two, with the knock-on that accessing row three is harder for other passengers. Not in the X7. So if you’ve got a young family and regularly carry more than five, the X7’s rear Isofix is a real bonus.It’s certainly a serene environment with two-axle air suspension and electronically controlled dampers There’s a cushioned lull to suspension movements, but while this is very much a comfort-focussed experience, it never feels like you’re sloshing about because suspension movements are so nicely regulated. Admittedly, we haven’t yet tried the car on the new 23-inch alloys, but we suspect the ride will remain surprisingly polished.

Further visual tweaks include the ‘Iconic Glow’ ambient lighting around the grille and, wait for it, 23-inch alloy wheels – the largest factory spec rims that BMW has ever supplied. If that’s not your cup of tea then rest assured that the positively tiny 21-inch versions are standard. BMW’s made some tweaks at the rear end, with 3D sculpted lights and a full-width chrome bar that sits underneath a glass cover.Doing pretty much what it says on the tin, it’s especially useful if your parking space is in a tight parking garage. The function will memorise how to get into the spot and then, when the starting point is reached again, will repeat the manoeuvre by taking control of the steering, brakes, accelerator and forward and reverse gearshifts. Overkill? Maybe. But there’s no denying how effectiveness it is.

Inside, the X7 gets the same infotainment setup as the rest of the 7 family. That means a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel replacing traditional dials, as well as a 14.9-inch curved central screen that runs BMW’s latest iDrive operating system, 8.0. Predictably, it’s rather brilliant and while most users will take some time to get used to its myriad functions, the interface and quality of software design is superb.

A more opulent six-seat layout is available, which switches the middle-row bench for a pair of captain’s chairs. Clearly, you’ll need to leave one passenger at the kerb and you lose the ability to fold row two completely flat and carry really big loads, but there’s more space and comfort for the two remaining, and the gap between the seats makes getting back to row three easier.

It’s also telling that the xOffroad package is optional, with four off-road modes (the unnecessarily pre-fixed xSand, xRocks, xGravel and xSnow), mechanical diff lock and sump guard.Love or hate the looks, there’s no denying that the initial X7 was a very, very competent car, so what has this update done for its standing among rivals such as the Mercedes-Benz GLS and Range Rover. Read on to find out…Chassis tuning was even conducted at the Nürburgring. Apparently the chassis engineers reached an impasse until someone suggested they changed tack from a conservative chassis set-up to one as agile as possible, with software for the all-wheel drive, steering, differential and suspension layered on to keep owners out of trouble. ‘It took two months but immediately it went five seconds faster at the Nürburgring,’ says our man. You’d certainly move out of its way on the touristfahrten days.

With all three rows raised, the boot is smaller than a Golf’s at 326 litres (the electric split tailgate actually helps to stop the stuff you’ve crammed in falling out) but row two and three can electrically lowered at the press of a button, providing 750 litres and 2120 litres of space respectively.The BMW X7 is what you can get when you take a BMW 7 Series, swap out the saloon body for an SUV shell, add in a couple of seats and give it the kind of off-road ability that looks great in the brochure but will almost certainly never be tested in the real world. In other words, it’s the biggest, baddest SUV that BMW makes – and for 2023 it’s had a facelift.

It goes well, too. Of the engines available post facelift, we’ve driven the top-dog M60i xDrive and it’s got all the guts you’d expect from a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8. Brawny low down and reasonably keen to rev, its 530hp and 553lb ft torque output propel the 2.7-tonne X7 from 0-62mph in just 4.7 seconds and onto a top speed of 250km/h. Sounds the part, too, with a M-Division rumble emanating from under the humongous bonnet.We didn’t drive it on the ’Ring, but some of the windier roads on our California test route (it’s a myth that American tarmac is all set in a straight line) the X7 performed with aplomb. The steering had a familiarly pacey, weighty and precise feel, and the X7 certainly turned in well, resisted roll, gripped hard and felt suitably rear-biased when driven more aggressively. It feels both far more dynamic than expected, and like a much smaller, nimbler machine that the proportions suggest.

Inside, the X7’s dashboard is dominated by a massive digital display that’s slightly curved. The panel boasts a 12.3-inch gauge cluster for the driver and a 14.9-inch touchscreen that the infotainment system operates through. Plenty of luxury features can be found inside as well, including heated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, a power-adjustable steering wheel, and ambient interior lighting. However, we were irritated by how slowly the power-operated, second-row captain’s chair moved when trying to let people in and out of the third row. Likewise, the way-back seats aren’t especially roomy for adults during prolonged drives. Still, no one will complain about the X7’s ample interior cubby storage. While we only managed to fit three carry-on suitcases behind the third row, we fit 33 total with all the back seats stowed.Every X7 has an assortment of standard driver-assistance technology in addition to several more advanced options. For more information about the X7’s crash test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Key safety features include:

The entry-level X7 xDrive40i is powered by a 375-hp turbocharged inline-six-cylinder, and the M60i has a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 that makes 523 horses. The Alpina XB7 has a specially tuned version of that V-8, which develops 630 horsepower. All three engines pair with an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. At our test track, the racy-looking M60i model managed to hit 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds, but the xDrive40i wasn’t far behind, hitting the same speed in just 4.6 seconds. Every X7 rides on an air suspension with adaptive dampers, and the chassis can be further enhanced with the available rear-axle steering and active anti-roll bars that reduce body motions. Both features are standard on the M60i, which has a sportier suspension setup by default. Handling is surprisingly lithe for a large SUV and the X7’s steering is accurate and nicely weighted. The smallest wheels on the X7 measure 21 inches in diameter, but BMW now also offers 23 inchers for the first time; on the big rollers, though, the X7’s ride quality takes a hit.

The 2023 X7 is most efficient when it’s equipped with the standard inline-six. That xDrive40i model received EPA ratings of 21 mpg city and 25 mpg highway. Going with the V-8–powered M60i model will mean hitting the pump more often, as that model is rated for 16 mpg city and 21 mpg highway. On our 75-mph highway fuel economy route, which is part of our extensive testing regimen, the M60i we tested surprised us with a 23-mpg result. For more information about the X7’s fuel economy, visit the EPA’s website.The X7’s iDrive 8 infotainment system is already eligible for an update to iDrive 8.5, coming sometime in the summer of 2023. The system operates through a 14.9-inch touchscreen that’s housed in the curved glass panel atop the dash. The system can also be operated by a large rotary knob on the center console as well as through gesture controls that are more gimmicky than useful. Along with a Wi-Fi hotspot (subscription required), every X7 is available with BMW’s Digital Key which allows users to control vehicle functions remotely via a smartphone app. A more powerful Harman/Kardon stereo and wireless charging are optional features. When it comes to moving an affluent family, there’s no better BMW than the X7, the brand’s luxurious three-row SUV. While its cargo area and rearmost seats aren’t as spacious as rivals such as the Jeep Grand Wagoneer and Mercedes-Benz GLS-class, the Bimmer boasts better driving manners as well as an impressive selection of engines. They range from a 375-hp turbo-six to a 523-hp twin-turbo V-8, with the latter making 630 horses on the highest-class, max-performance Alpina XB7. All models have all-wheel drive and an adaptive air suspension system that promotes a pillow-like ride. The 2023 X7’s interior is serene, but it’s also packed with upscale materials and modern tech such as the dash’s giant curved glass display. Those features, combined with the X7’s towing capability and an array of standard active-safety tech, make the biggest BMW one of the best. Do you live in California?

Modern engines have come a great distance in a very short amount of time. The combination of new technology and better components, such as, variable valve timing, Valvetronic, and forced induction result in better performance and increased fuel mileage as compared to the same displacement engines only a few years ago. One of the rapidly evolving components is the Engine Control Unit (ECU). Modern ECU’s contain new powerful processors. The processors’ performance is measured in megahertz allowing performance in millions of calculations per second.

When calibrating an engine, manufacturers consider all of the above-mentioned factors , which leads to a conservative end product. OEM calibrations must function in all environments and take in to account countless variables. This means they are restricted when it comes to performance. However, this also leaves great room for improvement when recalibrated in the aftermarket.Our performance calibrations will increase a stock engine’s performance. As a car is modified from its stock form, the benefit from remapping becomes increasingly important and more beneficial. As restrictions are removed by adding cold air intakes, exhausts, headers, cams, et cetera, the amount of potential airflow is increased; as a result, the torque curve shifts and the ignition angle, valve timing, and the fuel curve need adjustment. Our performance calibration will maximize the benefit of your aftermarket parts and maintain drivability.

All of these advances in performance and fuel mileage are running concurrently with stringent manufacturer emissions standards. These standards are very restrictive in nature; power output is greatly affected as a result. A single vehicle model will sell 100,000+ units worldwide and each unit must meet varying countries’ emission standards. In the US, the EPA requires manufacturers to cover specified major emission control components for the first 8 years or 80,000 miles. A manufacturer cannot risk their reputation or their bottom line if they sell a car that has difficulty passing post-sale emission testing. To meet required standards, a significant margin for error is built into the calibration, which leaves power on the table.Engine sensors are built to read within certain tolerances. As these sensors age they will often degrade and the reading sent to the ECU will vary slightly. Knowing this, manufacturers err on the conservative side to help avoid emission/warranty issues by building in a margin of error. In addition to building in flexibility for ailing sensors, manufacturers are also forced to consider other wear items either from lack of service or neglect. Old spark plugs, dirty air filters, low grade fuel accidently or intentionally run through the engine are all taken into consideration when calibrated by the manufacturer. As a proponent of performance you wouldn’t do such a thing, right?
