evolve switchable ECU OBD Remap/Flash units X20d X30d X35d

We recently launched the evolve Switch switchable remap unit. This allows the user to flash or remap their own ECU's with our tuned software. This is available for the BMW EDC16 ECU, which includes 1/318d 122 BHP, 1/320d 163 BHP, x25d, x30d 231 BHP and x35d. This is also applicable to other BMW models with the same engines/ECU ie 5/6 series and X6/X5/X3. Not available for the x35i engine yet. This is in development but we have no date on release.





The process works like this:

1. Configure the evolve Switch box using the software we supply on your PC.
2. Take the box to your car - plug in OBD2 cable to read original map file.
3. Connect switch box to PC and transfer original file to PC and then email to us.
4. We send you tuned map file which you load into the switch box. The box now holds both of the maps - standard and evolve tuned.
5. Plug switch box back into cars OBD2 port and load tuned map file into car.

The box has easy to follow on screen instructions, also includes at DTC reader/clearer and automatically clears any ECU faults once it has finished flashing the ECU.

The car can now be returned to stock before any dealer visits and the tuned restored after. The flashing process takes 4-5 mins each way and the unit is powered by the car.

For those of you who don't know our company I have added links to reviews from E90post members. evolve tuned 335d (along with 335i) were tested by BMWCar magazine in a 7 page feature in December 08 issue. The evolve tuned 335d was timed 0-100 MPH at 11.9 seconds.

There are plenty of E90posters in the UK section who have had their cars tuned by us.

If BMW update your ECU software we will provide new software FOC.

Power gains at the fly (up to)

We have been flashing the MSD80/81 ECU via the OBD port since August last year in the UK. I believe we were the first in the UK to do this.

Here is a graph (at the wheels because thats how you guys like them )



The standard figure is about 260 RWHP.

With just our ECU flash the car above was timed by BMW Car Magazine (December 08) at 11.7 0-100 MPH which was 1.9 seconds faster than the standard 335i they tested at the same time.

The switchable solution like the one above is in development for the N54 but I can not say when it will be ready.

What I can say is that we will be providing our ECU tunes for use with BT and Shark Edit when they are available.

Nice, well since I already have a BT, let me know when it's available for the n54 motor.

The last contact I had with BT said they are still testing the flash element of the tool so as soon as they are ready we will be able to provide our tunes for them.

We will need one or two customers to work with us to get some dyno graphs on dynojets - as they read higher than our dyno dynamics. Email me at imran (at) evo-s.co.uk if you are interested.

On the diesels (EDC16 ECU's) it does. This will have to be worked into the development of the evolve Switch for MSD80/81.

The switchable solution is now available for EDC17 equipped diesels like the 318D 143 BHP and 320d 177 BHP. Dyno graphs to follow shortly.

just a question --

what is the base price of the switch unit -- without the tuned software?


*Flashes*

it was only a matter of time -- once you're inside of the box, you start to think "outside of the box" ... good to hear you all are making progress with the x35 platform.

when and if you make something available for the MSD81 i would be very interested in hearing about, or even testing a reasonable beta version
