Chiptuning allows the engine management of your MINI to be adjusted in a targeted way. Depending on the engine and its technical condition, more power, higher torque and a sharper throttle response may be possible. We use proven software calibrations and adapt them to the specifications and fitted equipment of your MINI.
Chiptuning matched to your MINI
Effective chiptuning is not about blindly uploading the highest possible values. The fitted engine, software version, existing hardware and technical condition of the vehicle are decisive. We take these factors into account when selecting and adjusting the software.
- More power and torque: The engine management is adjusted so that the available reserves of the particular engine are used sensibly.
- Sharper throttle response: Depending on the model, throttle response, power delivery and acceleration can be noticeably improved.
- Matched to the vehicle configuration: Model generation, engine specification, factory configuration and any components already fitted are considered when selecting the software.
- Proven performance figures: We use calibrations with which we have practical experience instead of pursuing the highest possible figures without considering the additional load on the vehicle.
What performance increase is possible?
The following charts show power and torque figures with which we have experience across various MINI models. They are intended as a guide and do not represent a general performance guarantee for every vehicle.
The figures that are realistic for your MINI depend on factors including the engine variant, software version, mileage, technical condition and existing modifications. We therefore inspect the vehicle before providing a specific assessment.
How the chiptuning process works
- Identify the vehicle: We record the model generation, engine specification, vehicle identification number, software version and any existing modifications.
- Check the technical condition: Before making any adjustments, we read the diagnostic trouble codes and check the vehicle functions relevant to the chiptuning.
- Adjust the software: Based on a proven calibration, the software is selected and adapted to the specifications and existing configuration of your MINI.
- Check operation: After installing the software, we check the vehicle and carry out a test drive.
What chiptuning cannot repair
A software adjustment cannot repair worn or damaged components. Problems involving the turbocharger, supercharger, ignition, cooling system, clutch, transmission or fuel system must be resolved before chiptuning. Otherwise, the additional load may cause existing weaknesses to become apparent more quickly.
If we identify a fault or technical issue during the inspection, we discuss the necessary work with you first. Repairs and additional components are not fitted without prior consultation and are not automatically included in the price of the chiptuning.
If you are planning modifications to the cooling system, intake, exhaust, forced-induction system, suspension or brakes in addition to the software, you can find further information on our MINI performance upgrades page.
Time required, price and road approval
For software-only chiptuning, you should normally allow one full workshop day. This provides enough time for vehicle identification, technical inspection, software adjustment and the final checks. Technical issues or additional modification requests may increase the time required.
Chiptuning costs from 425 € including VAT. The exact price depends on the vehicle, the fitted control unit and the work required. Repairs, hardware modifications and other additional work are not automatically included.
A change in engine output can affect the vehicle’s road approval and registration documents. Whether an inspection, approval or registration is possible depends on the vehicle, the software and any other modifications. If approval for use on public roads is required, this must be discussed with us individually before the work begins. Successful approval or registration is not automatically included with the chiptuning.
Request chiptuning for your MINI
Please include the complete vehicle identification number, mileage and any existing modifications in your appointment request. Also briefly describe what you expect from the software adjustment. This allows us to identify your MINI correctly and assess in advance which calibration is technically appropriate.
