We are one of the most popular G80 & X3M tuners in the world but before we show off our achievements lets learn about this legendary platform.


The S58 is currently the greatest BMW engine ever made. It is a 3.0 litre with a  9.3:1 compression ratio in a inline six arrangement with twin turbo chargers, The engine has multiple improvements over its predecessor the S55. Such as the fuel system increased to 350bar of pressure from 200bar on S55, improved ignition system, Larger turbos which are if anything oversized in stock power but brilliant for us looking to increase performance, the crank hub issue from S55 is no longer here because of a keyway crank hub.


The conrods are noticeably thicker meaning more torque can be generated, the lower compression allows for more boost and the 8hp76 gearbox is able to handle large amounts of torque compared to the previous gen DCT gearbox. This engine is a tuners dream.


Our G80 shop car sits at 1480 BHP but we have developed the power of it in stages starting with just ECU tuning resulting in our VT650 package, then exhaust modifications which is our VT700 package. So although this car maybe unrelatable to the average G80 it started off with just a basic tune showing how easily these performance mods can get out of hand.


From that initial point we introduced flexfuel (ethanol) and created our VT800 package.  Its at this power the latest supercars will not be able to keep up anymore. The engine and turbos are still able to create more power but its at this point we near the limits of the cars fuelling capabilities and to maintain fuelling reliability cap around 800 BHP.


Always looking to push and develop we increased fuelling capability with a secondary fuel system. With the increase in fuelling our VT900 Shop car was born. This featured on some race channels and attended multiple events for testing and promotion. The car became the fastest 'Stage 2' or Stock turbo G80 in the UK running a 4.3 100-200 and a 9.4 1/4mile.


We were then at the limit of engine & gearbox capabilities with our VT1000 setup. Our car ran hybrid turbos with all mentioned above. Next update was forging the engine and building the Gearbox which is required at this point but we did run this on a stock engine for 6months as we like to show what is possible with precise careful mapping. The car ran a 3.6 100-200 and was the fastest in the country on a hybrid turbo setup.


Now our G80 is at 1480 BHP on our built engine & a precision 7680 turbo. Our gearbox was also built in house with the stage 2 kotte transmission and we are now running a 2.9 100-200kph which is faster than a Bugatti Chiron. Not bad for a four door 3 series.


Keeping with constant development we also have our shop X3M which remains on its standard engine & turbos. This combo of extreme power and daily usable power allows us to stay at the forefront of development on this platform.


Our tuning is offered inhouse on our braked 4wd v-tech dyno or remotely anywhere in the world using datalogging to fine tune and customise your mapping.

Tuning methods available:


  • ECU Unlock

    ! 1769 Unlock ! : We are the only UK company offering a Same day unlock and tune. Our VT650 & our VT700 tuning is now available same day for S58 based cars. We can unlock, tune and provide physical work required for these packages in a single day. As well as this Remote Engine Start can also be enabled with this type of unlock. This is made possible by 1769 Performance, a partner company that is focused on advanced BMW programming solutions.


    MHD is available for this without MHD+ features


    Femto Unlock: BMW cars manufactured after June 2020 require an unlock and femto offer a solution that takes a few days. It is a required step to gain write access to the ecu . Due to this extra step we ask the vehicle is left with us upto 1 week to allow this process to complete


    Over time this has become a very regular process for us and one we are confident in providing.


  • Single Midpipe & OPF Coding

    Want more noise but do not want to send your ecu away for unlock?


    Keep warrenty intact with no custom software and go for a single midpipe with just coding to eliminate errors.


    Easily reversible and finally allows your S58 engine to sound like a true M car.


    Coding can be provided at our workshop or remotely

  • Servicing & Maintenance

    We recommend changing your oil every 5000miles. At Velocity Tuning we use Motul 8100 Power 5w-40

    Oil Filter: 11428092620

    Oil Required: 7 Litres


    We recommend spark plugs every 15k for daily use cars and every 10k for cars seeing race use

    OEM Plug: 

    NGK Long Number: SILZKGR8E8S

    NGK Short Number: 96206

    BMW Part Number: 12125A4EF60


    We recommend servicing the gearbox at 50,000 miles. 




  • Tuning Boxes

    The S58 runs very lean in standard form and increasing boost without the ecu having the fuelling adjusted is a unsafe way to increase power. 


    We have had multiple G8X on dyno with tuning boxes with them making less power than quoted and logs showing high timing corrections and knock detected showing the engine is not running in a safe manner.


    Leaving the car stock or using the M2 CS software is recommended over a tuning box if not wanting to fully tune the vehicle.

  • VT650 Stage 1

    Only ECU Flash Required - No Hardware 

    620-640bhp 740nm 760nm

    6.0 100-200 kph.

    Our own G80 was used for development in our stage 1 tuning, we was able to achieve some fantastic times and dyno figures whilst maintaining safe boost, ignition and temperatures ensuring the car can be used in all enviroments, The car felt completely transformed. 


    Our custom mapping for the S58 completely transforms the car and adds the ability for customised burbles, exhaust valve control and multiple maps switchable whilst driving. Our software coupled with gearbox mapping awakens the S58 into a different level of machine. No hardware modifcations are required.

    This is a one day turn around starting in the morning and ready by afternoon. We take power from 510bhp to 700bhp. Performance is unrelatable to a standard vehicle with real world performance rarely matched in other vehicles. For those wanting that extra performance flexfuel capability can be added taking power to 800bhp with no need to switch maps and the car detecting the change in fuel with our VT800 Flex Package.


    Our own shop car g80 runs this package and is currently the uk fastest stock engine/ stock turbo car. We have tested the car at santa pod, on officially gassed, at a 1mile event against our own f90 m5 and the car has been to the nurburgring to see how it performs in every condition. 


    We believe its important to develop reliable but also fast packages which has been possible for us with extensive developement and testing. Our M3 has performed over 150 Launch controls and exceeded 200mph in testing.

  • VT800

    Need more than Stage 2 power but wanting to keep reliability and daily driver benefits?


    We are able to offer our VT800 in three variations depending on your needs


    • VT800 Hybrid Turbos
    • VT800 Methanol Injection
    • VT800 Flexfuel

    VT800 Hybrids

    Great for daily power, 800 BHP with just 99ron. The turbos are capable of upto 1100BHP with supporting mods also making them a solid base for building a high power G8X


    VT800 Meth

    Also capable of 800BHP daily power utilising an auxiliary fuel system that activates only at full throttle/ high boost.  Stock turbos + Methanol keeps the engine cool and making great power.


    VT800 Flexfuel

    This system is great for those wanting 700BHP Daily but occassionally gaining an additional 100 BHP when adding 40% Ethanol to their main fuel tank. Especially useful for race days.


  • VT900

    This is the package we used to create the UK's Fastest Stock engine, Stock turbo & stock gearbox car. Competing and beating other s58 with fully forged and upgraded turbos.


    This package is not available to all customers and can only be completed after experience with our VT800 package beforehand.




    • Methanol + Flexfuel
    • Port injection & Flexfuel
    • Hybrid turbos + Methanol
  • VT1100

    Using hybrid turbos is a great way to increase power whilst remaining on 99ron fuel.When used with 99ron 800bhp is possible. They also offer huge power for future proofing and as such using these turbos our own car is making over 1100bhp using these hybrid turbos combined with a built engine and port ethanol injection. At 1100 BHP the cars acceleration times are faster than most hypercars including the bugatti chiron.


    Hybrid Turbo Video
  • VT1500

    A product we  finished developing in october 2025. Our shop car was able to produce obscene power and acceleration utilising our forged engine, single turbo, built gearbox & port fuelling system.


    This is the maximum power we create for the S58 platform. Taking the G80's stock 8second 100-200kph down to 2seconds.

  • Gearbox Mapping

    A common complaint with the s58 is the delayed slow shifts with gearbox. All this potential for power but its important the gearbox can allow that power to be transferred to the wheels quickly and effectively. Using XHP with our custom settings works perfectly for Stage 1 and Stage 2 cars and those with higher power or racing we are able to provide fully customised gearbox mapping allowing the gearbox to handle high torque levels and maintaining crisp shifts.
