• Keep in mind that your module can be sent back at any time to update tuning to the other profile (Economy to Power tune, or reverse) for only $49!

 
• Our Diesel Modules is easy:... Easy to install, easy to move, or easy to remove from the vehicle; even by the novice...Our unit is plug-and-play! Ready to install out of the box, no laptop or programming required. It can be installed and removed as many times as you wish, on any compatible BMW without ill effects. Includes a 'bypass valet key' that lets you disable and remove the IDCM in 10 seconds so no one can access the higher power output map, or steal the unit; you take it with you!
  
  
• It is safe: No "check engine" lights or trouble codes, no flashes, no ECU removal. No permanent modifications. NO PROBLEMS!
  No traces of the IDCM are left behind provided for the dealer to see. Thermal management and fuel management make worries almost non-existent. We are making more power while also keeping in mind not to over-tax the emissions systems or use more fuel. No injector issues either! This module goes above and beyond with no issues.
  
  
• It is elegant:...Compact, look at home installed, yet rugged enough for the toughest the road and track can dish out. We include an OEM grade harness, and the unit is enclosed in either and extruded aluminum case or rubber enclosed case. It can also be hidden to go completely under the radar when you open the hood.
  
  
• It is upgradeable: the IDCM can be reprogrammed and optimized for any driver or future upgrades like exhaust and intake systems that will surely be available soon. Through with the technology of the diesel and the way we implement tuning, you won't have to re-flash with every mod like others.
  ALSO... If you move on to a 335i, or other turbo BMW as they come out, you can take this module with you! Just a new harness and re-flash and your ready! NO others can do this!
   

• It performs!!!: Eliminates Turbo lag brought on by conservative factory tunes.
  Torque that is already mind blowing is positively monstrous! Power is completely linear and controllable yet has ferocious off the line and highway acceleration. Driveability is completely uncompromised.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q) Why doesn't BMW offer these gains?
Well, this is simpler than you might think. They could...
We are not talking about over hyped claims of 25% more performance. We are simply looking for the realistic 10-15% Left on the table by all manufactures to get the most out of what is there from super conservative warranty figures, etc.
You can bet as time marches on, BMW may add to their rated power output 'seemingly from nowhere'.

Q) With more power, how does my car not consume more fuel? Will it be as reliable?
This is a logical and completely normal question from a gasoline car perspective. Many tuners do exactly that: add copious amounts of fuel to the engine to make more power.
Know that the diesel engine is always ingesting the same amount of air per revolution as there is no throttle plate in a diesel engine. What we do is alter how and when fuel is delivered without increasing the amount of boost or fuel... This technology is a new way to us living in the US who have tuned diesels without much regard for economy or environmental impacts, but for our European and other non-domestic friends, this methodology is a very popular tuning method on many late model European cars and is adapted well with some ingenuity to the BMW application.

Reliability is paramount on a new car, especially one that is used as daily transportation. We want to offer the most reliable and long lasting upgrades for the BMW M57T2D30 engine. From our testing over the past 4+ years with the BMW diesels, in Europe and in the US, we are happy that this power level has ZERO complications, no loss of reliability, and NO check engine lights.

Q) Doesn't this have implications on the emissions system / Diesels Particulate Filter?
If the traditional methods of turning ("more boost, more fuel") were implemented, then the DPF will have to work harder to do its job. Getting clogged quicker, taxing the system, decreasing component life and start throwing "Check Engine" codes as a result. With our way of tuning, this module genuinely keeps you Green as well as offering more power without choking up the DPF with soot, or going into limp mode.

Q: What if BMW changes the ECU, or a new feature comes out? Or if I sell the car?
A: We want to offer what no others can. We support our "Intelligent Controller" products 100% and allow you to upgrade to the latest new features for free or very minimal money. In this example, if you were to purchase this unit now and we come up with a new feature like a switch to change features we would upgrade the firmware for free and only charge you for the additional hardware required to do that. This way you get all the benefits of the new features without having to spend a bunch of money! ALSO, if you get a new BMW, like a 335i, or X6M or even new Turbo M3 or M5 (everyone knows that's next). We will be able to offer you a super quick option of a new harness & software reprogram, and now your ITCM works on your new car! The ITCM is very flexible and will be upgraded over the years.

Q: Can we have a way to have both Power and Economy maps on the fly?
A: While a "switch" to offer this feature is in the works, it may not be necessary... The Economy Tune offers improved economy with the regular driver operating the vehicles on a  day to day bassis.
With the power tune, we have actually seen slight improvements in economy; its up to the drivers judicious use of the throttle to make sure they are not constantly flooring it ; )  but test data shows that the the performance tune applied on our IDCM, when driven against the standard BMW ECU with no IDCM matches or exceeds the normal ECU in economy, and obviously offers improved performance whenever the driver wishes.
