Hack Engineering has been responsible for some of the UK’s most powerful BMWs – but not only this, we have been behind some of the most complete and refined tuning solutions for road and track.

We have delivered complete vehicle solutions for 1100+bhp F8X models, and can offer the same precision when it comes to straightforward remaps and everything in-between.

Hardware upgrades from air filters to turbochargers are covered, with ECU tuning always applied and verified by our engineers in-house. We can ensure that a complete package is always supplied and fitted with the utmost attention to detail.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, classic E-series, modern F- and G-series, plus M cars. If you’re unsure, send us your reg/VIN, current mods and goals. We’ll confirm compatibility, flag any model-specific quirks (VANOS, timing chains, cooling, bushings, etc.), and propose the smartest route to power, handling and reliability. We also support fast-road, track and race builds.

We specialise in BMW ECU tuning/remaps, diagnostics and health checks, VANOS rebuilds and specialist engine work (from refreshes to full builds and machine shop services). We also handle suspension and chassis upgrades (bushes, coilovers, geometry), braking, cooling, driveline and clutch upgrades. Add BMW specialist servicing and inspections so your gains are safe and repeatable. Everything is planned around your goals, usage and budget.

Most Stage 1–2 tunes take a few hours. We begin with a health check (fault codes, smoke test if needed, plugs/fuel quality), then read the ECU, calibrate, and verify with data logs and a thorough road test. Hardware installs (intakes, downpipes, coolers, injectors, LPFP/HPFP) add time. You’ll leave with before/after notes and guidance on fuel and maintenance.

Yes, done properly. We prioritise reliability with conservative, data-led calibrations on quality UK fuels. We refuse to chase headline numbers that risk knock, heat-soak or driveline stress. Pre-tune maintenance matters; if we spot an issue, we’ll fix it first. We can also revert you to stock at any time.

Any modification can affect warranty and should be disclosed to your insurer. We’ll explain options, keep your stock file, and can flash back before dealer visits if you choose. Our advice is transparent so you can make an informed call. 

Both. We recommend proven BMW performance parts we know, stock and support. If you already have parts, share brand, part numbers and condition; we’ll confirm suitability before quoting. We won’t fit counterfeit or poor-quality components that compromise safety. All installs follow torque specs and are road-tested; geometry/alignment is offered where relevant.

We use trusted OEM and top-tier aftermarket components we run on our own cars. On the calibration side, we work with reputable tools and strategies suitable for your platform, fuel and hardware. We support common setups (MAF/MAF-less where appropriate), staged packages and custom solutions. The goal is OEM-plus drivability with repeatable performance.

Absolutely. From oil services and inspections to plugs, coils, brake fluid, gearbox/diff fluids and cooling system refreshes, we keep your base strong so upgrades shine. We can combine servicing with tuning to reduce downtime. We’ll stamp service records and note future maintenance so you stay ahead of issues.

Yes. We balance power with cooling, braking and chassis setup so the car is quick and confidence-inspiring. Think pads/fluid/lines, tyre and wheel choices, corner-weighting and alignment, baffled sumps and cooling upgrades. We also offer pre- and post-track inspections to catch problems before they become expensive.

Call us with your reg/VIN, current mods, budget, and how you use the car (daily, fast road, track). Tell us what you want to feel, sharper throttle, more torque, flatter cornering, stronger brakes and we’ll map out a staged plan, clear pricing and timelines. 

We ship worldwide. We’ll confirm availability, shipping options, tracking and typical lead times at checkout or by email. Duties/taxes vary by country.
