The Siemens MS43 engine control unit (TCU) uses an Infineon C167CR_SR CPU in combination with a 4 megabit AMD AM29F400BB flash memory. This ECU controls the BMW M54 inline six engine.
Memory Layout
The MS43 can be seperated into three major sections, first comes the bootloader, then the program code, and last the calibration data.
See this table for file locations:
Start | End | Section | Size |
---|---|---|---|
00000 | 0FFFF | Bootloader Code | 64 kByte |
10000 | 1FFFF | Program Code | 384 kByte |
20000 | 2FFFF | ||
30000 | 3FFFF | ||
40000 | 4FFFF | ||
50000 | 5FFFF | ||
60000 | 6FFFF | ||
70000 | 7FFFF | Calibration Data | 64 kByte |
Bootloader Section
The bootloader code section is the most important section of the MS43 and doesnt have to be touched for at least 99% of all use cases.
This section is 64 kByte in size and contains the interrupt setups, input and output initializations, as well as immobilizer information and the UIF (user information fields).
The significant difference between the bootloader section and the others is, that it's only one time programmable under normal operation. That means once a byte has been changed from FF to another value, it is not changeable again.
Unlimited write access to the bootloader section can only be archieved through JMGarage Flasher and is ONLY needed for virginizing the ECU to pair it with a different EWS module or to alter the UIF without increasing the flashcounter.
Tip: The newest version of immobilizer and checksum delete will not need bootmode flashing.
Programm Code Section
All of the MS43 program code is located here.
Calibration Data Section
Checksums
Checksums are used to verify that the data written to the ROM has not become corrupt.
The MS43 uses three CRC16 checksums that covers the boot, program and calibration sections and two addition checksums that covers the data for the monitoring (_mon_) routines.
The variables that the ECU uses to calculate the addition checksum is located in the program section so tools like Ultimo Checksum Corrector can only correct this checksum in a 512KB file.
Both addition checksums have to be corrected before the CRC16 checksums, as the addition checksums are located inside the CRC16 checksum areas.
The checksums are located at the following addresses:
CRC16 | Location |
---|---|
Boot | 0x3C24 |
Program | 0x6FDE0 |
Calibration | 0x73FE0 |
Addition | Location |
Program Part 1 | 0x6FDAE |
Program Part 2 | 0x6FD80 |
Calibration Part 1 | 0x72FFC |
Calibration Part 2 | 0x72FFE |

Injection
The MS43 fuel injection maps are based on engine load over engine speed and the lookup value is injection time in miliseconds.
The lambda sensors for closed loop operation are narrowband. Fuel trim learning only happens during closed loop operation, but the learned fuel trims do affect full throttle fueling as well.
There are a lot of blending factors, enrichments and also enleanments involved to calculate the final injection time. The following tables are the most important ones.
- ip_tipr_cst__tco - Pre cold start injection time basic value
- ip_ti_cst__n__tco - Cranking injection time basic value
- ip_tib__n__maf - Basic injection time under VANOS fault condition
Without any active VANOS fault codes the engine interpolates between the cold and warm injection tables. There are individual tables for each cylinder bank.
- ip_ti_tco_1_is_ivvt__n__maf - Cold engine injection time used during idle
- ip_ti_tco_1_pl_ivvt_1__n__maf - Cold engine injection time used for bank 1 during part load
- ip_ti_tco_1_pl_ivvt_2__n__maf - Cold engine injection time used for bank 2 during part load
- ip_ti_tco_2_is_ivvt__n__maf - Warm engine injection time used during idle
- ip_ti_tco_2_pl_ivvt_1__n__maf - Warm engine injection time used for bank 1 during part load
- ip_ti_tco_2_pl_ivvt_2__n__maf - Warm engine injection time used for bank 2 during part load
Blending between cold and warm injection maps is done by the following factor tables. Both tables are engine temperature over egnine temperatur at engine start.
- ip_fac_is_ivvt__tco__tco_st - Weighting factor for blending between idle speed injection tables
- ip_fac_pl_ivvt__tco__tco_st - Weighting factor for blending between part load injection tables
The full load enrichment ip_ti_fl is a multiplier of the part load calculations and added to them respectively. Further explaination is located in the full load section.
- ip_ti_fast_wf_thd_min__tco
- ip_ti_slow_wf_thd_min__tco
There is a fuel enleanment ip_ti_cat_var__n__maf when the c_conf_cat variant has learned CATV and full load condition inactive, so you might want to zero it out to prevent the engine going lean.
Aftermarket Injector Scaling
Changing the fuel injectors will be needed at some point when you change your engines aspiration to forced induction, therefore some constants and tables need to be adjusted.
To find a suitable baseline for your new injestion tables you will have to calculate the volume flow difference between the stock and your new injectors.
By dividing the flow rate of the old injectors by the flow rate of the new ones at the same fuel pressure you end up with a scaling factor.
You can use the injection time multiplier of the MS43s application system that is able to adjust every single cylinder injection duration with a factor t_ti_as_[cyl].
Playing with these six constants is much easier than always changing all the injection tables.
Nevertheless, once you've found a suitable factor for your injectors, apply it to the fuel tables directly and return to factor 1.0, because the application system will NOT alter the injection time reported by the MS43s logging routine.
Additionally you must adjust the following injector specific values:
- c_ti_min_iv - Minimum injection time
- ip_ti_add_dly__vb - Injector dead time correction with battery voltage compensation
Go here for a list of suitable fuel injectors and their deadtimes.
Correcting Fuel Consumption Gauge
When changing injectors you will discover that the fuel consumption reading on your cluster and other monitoring apps is off.
The table ip_fco_map_cor__pq_main_col handles injection value reporting towards the cluster over CAN bus.
For example: You've lowered your fueling tables by MULTIPLIYING them with 0.46, you must DIVIDE the mentioned table by 0.46 to fix readings.
Fine tuning should be made in the secret menu of your cluster (+- 25%). This is excplained here under "Test 20" INFO: E46 Instrument Cluster Test
Upgraded Fuel Pumps
Under some circumstances like a forced induction conversion the OEM fuel pump can't deliver enough fuel to the engine and needs to be upgraded.
The MS43 has two time values (in seconds) for controlling the electronic fuel pump relay before starting and after stopping the engine:
- c_t_efp_prev - Time the electronic fuel pump relay is enabled after ignition turned on
- c_t_efp - Time delay to disable the electric fuel pump relay after ignition turned off
Slightly rising these values may eliminate starting issues.
Tip: Some aftermarket fuel pumps don't come with an integrated check valve end therefor let the fuel flow back into the tank once the engine is turned off.
If this is the case consider adding a check valve right after the pump to keep stock-like cranking behaviour.
Ignition
The MS43 uses many ignition maps depending on the engine state and quality of fuel used. Like the injection maps, they are also based on engine load over engine speed but obviously the lookup is ignition timing in degrees BTDC (before top dead center).
- ip_iga_ron_91_pl_ivvt__n__maf - Target ignition angle for RON91 during part and full load
- ip_iga_ron_98_pl_ivvt__n__maf - Target ignition angle for RON98 during part and full load
ip_iga_ron_98_pl_ivvt__n__maf is the main table used with a healthy engine (so no VANOS fault codes, normal warmed up operating temperature) running RON98/PON93 gasoline.
There is a knock based interpolation between the RON91 and RON98 RON tables. The other tables should be kept safe.
"Ignition at part-load, cold engine (16x20) Airflow -vs- Engine speed" is used on a cold engine, and blended/interpolated towards "Ignition at part-load, RON98 (16x20) Airflow -vs- Engine speed" during warm up.
Catalyst heating "_CH_" in maps retards ignition during warm up.
Antijerk "_AJ_" retards ignition during rapid throttle opening to smooth out torque (can be removed by increasing c_tco_min_aj to 142.5C. Reported to sometimes cause transitional knock on boosted engines, if so consider adjusting other tables designed for this (tra_knk).
Experience on standard or near standard European 330ci in cool climate and with 99 RON fuel suggested sporadic pulling of timing here and there up to a few degrees is common, but rarely sufficient even in hard track use to produce more than 1 degree of learned ignition retard from the 98 RON base map. Shows the RON98 map on a standard car is quite good. Question if fueling could be richened to allow more ignition timing and torque/power.
VANOS
This section contains information on how the dual VANOS system is actuated by the MS43 and how to modify it. Both, intake and exhaust camshaft can be set independently in relation to the crankshaft.
The VANOS system uses engine oil pressure to control a set of gears at the end of each camshaft. The goal of the VANOS is to optimize emissions, produce better torque at low engine speeds and have more top end power.
Even though the variation of °CRK is pretty limited, it can be used to compensate for different intakes, different camshafts and even forced induction application may be benefitting from perfectly tweaked camshafts.
The main maps used for intake camshaft are:
cold engine
- ip_cam_sp_tco_1_in_is__n__maf_ivvt
- ip_cam_sp_tco_1_in_pl__n__maf_ivvt
- ip_cam_sp_tco_1_in_fl__n
warm engine
- ip_cam_sp_tco_2_in_is__n__maf_ivvt
- ip_cam_sp_tco_2_in_pl__n__maf_ivvt
- ip_cam_sp_tco_2_in_fl__n
The main maps used for exhaust camshaft are:
cold engine
- ip_cam_sp_tco_1_ex_is__n__maf_ivvt
- ip_cam_sp_tco_1_ex_pl__n__maf_ivvt
- ip_cam_sp_tco_1_ex_fl__n
warm engine
- ip_cam_sp_tco_2_ex_is__n__maf_ivvt
- ip_cam_sp_tco_2_ex_pl__n__maf_ivvt
- ip_cam_sp_tco_2_ex_fl__n
Blending between cold engine and warm engine is done by:
idlespeed
- ip_fac_cam_sp_in_is__tco__tco_st
- ip_fac_cam_sp_ex_is__tco__tco_st
partload
- ip_fac_cam_sp_in_pl__tco__tco_st
- ip_fac_cam_sp_ex_pl__tco__tco_st
VANOS Tweak for little extra midrange power
Insert the following tables into the desired part-load map where you need the effect ( part-load cold / part-load warm / both).

Info
For stock engine with stock exhaust and intake flow, above VANOS tune works best.
For a modded engine, or stock with free flowing exhaust and cold air intake, valve overlap can help increase volumetric efficiency at higher engine speeds (above ~4000rpm), which results in more power.
Taking as a base M54B30 engine with intake cam 126° for max, and 86° for min ; exhaust cam -105° for max and -80° for min
126° represents intake cam in its max retard form, and 86° in its max advance position
-105° represents exhaust cam in its max advance position, and -80° in its max retard stage
General rule for overlap :
- Advancing both cams - more low end torque and less top end power
- Retarding both cams - less low end torque and more top end power
Tip for full load VANOS table: Begin from low rpm with max number for your cam (intake 126° , exhaust -105°) and progressively reduce number until you reach 4000rpm and lowest cam number (intake 86,exhaust -80)
From 4000rpm upwards, use inverse technique, start to rise again numbers, progressively. (every engine responds different by exhaust config) Test combinations until you are happy.
Also, do changes for intake only, leave exhaust alone if you are on stock exhaust manifold.
note Theoreticaly, there is no risk of damaging the engine (valve hits piston) if you stay within specified range for your particular cams. (m54b30 intake 126/86 ,exhaust -105/-80)
Drive-By-Wire
This section contains information on how the Drive-By-Wire system is controlled by the DME and how it can be modified.
Drivers Wish Tables
The Drive-By-Wire system is setup so that the ecu uses both the throttle valve and the idle control valve to control how much air is going into the engine.
- ip_tps_sp_pvs is used by the ecu to decide how much it should open the throttle for a given pvs input.
- ip_isapwm_pvs is used by the ecu to decide how much idle control valve duty cycle should be used for a given pvs input.
If we look at these tables side by side we can see that a stock ecu is setup to primarily use the idle control valve to control airflow when the pvs input is in the range between 0° and 15° and when the pvs input is higher the ecu will switch over to the throttle valve.
Drivers Wish Input Correction
The MS43 actively limits how fast the drivers requested pvs input can increase to provide a smoother driving experience.
ip_pvs_cor_max_rpl_[gear] is used by the ecu to decide if the drivers requested pvs input should be limited. The values in the table is the lower limit and the X-axis is the upper limit. If the drivers requested pvs input is between these values then the ecu will start limiting the pvs input.
If the following conditions are met then the ecu will not try to start limiting the pvs input:
- The driver requested pvs input is decreasing.
- The driver requested pvs input change gradient is larger than c_pvs_grd_max_rpl(59,99° pvs).
- The clutch is pressed.
- The driver requested pvs input is higher than c_pvs_cor_max_rpl(42,5° PVS)
When the ecu starts limiting the pvs input then the pvs input will be increased by the value taken from ip_pvs_cor_rpl_lgrd_[gear] until the following conditions are met:
- The limitation duration specified in ip_t_pvs_cor_rpl_[gear] has expired.
- The driver requested pvs input change gradient is larger than c_pvs_grd_max_rpl(59,99° pvs).
- The limited pvs input is larger than the driver requested pvs input.
If any of those conditions are met then the ecu will use the driver requested pvs input and will not start limiting the pvs input again until the time specified in c_t_dly_pvs_cor_rpl(0,2s) has expired.
The easiest way to disable this function is to set either c_pvs_cor_max_rpl or c_pvs_grd_max_rpl to zero.
Idlespeed
This section contains information on how the idle is controlled by the DME and how it can be modified.
MS43 has a few different tables that affect the nominal idle speed
- ip_n_sp_is Nominal idle speed without additional load on the engine.
- ip_dri_n_sp_is Nominal idle speed with drive engaged for AT gearbox.
- ip_acin_n_sp_is Nominal idle speed with air conditioner switched on.
- ip_dri_acin_n_sp_is Nominal idle speed with air conditioner switched on and drive engaged for AT gearbox.
The idle setpoint is modified from the nominal speed above by
- ip_n_sp_add_cha_cdn_bat Nominal idle speed offset for battery charge state.
- ip_n_sp_add_heat Nominal idle speed offset with catalyst heating function active.
In addition, the idle speed change rate can be changed with c_n_sp_lgrd_is.
Full Load Detection
On MS43 we have an accelerator pedal angle (°PVS) dependent full load detection.
In full load operation (ES = FL) the engine will leave stoichiometric combustion and enriches the injection for preventing knock and maximum power production.
The whole lambda learning adaption from the O2 sensors is stopped while the engine operates in this state. Already learned long term fuel trims (LTFTs) will still be applied.
The engine will never enter full load state unless the engine speed is greater than c_n_min_fl which is the lower limit for FL detection. Setting this to 8160 rpm will disable full load state completely.
Additionally, either one of the two following conditions has to be fulfilled to activate full load detection.
- c_vs_min_fl - Minimum vehicle speed for full load detection after engine start if c_tco_min_fl has not been exceeded.
- c_tco_min_fl - Minimum coolant temperature for full load detection after engine start if c_vs_min_fl has not been exceeded.
Finally, once the accelerator pedal angles defined in the following tables are exceeded, the respective function will enter the full load state.
- id_pvs_fl__n - Accelerator pedal position threshold for full load detection - Injection
- id_pvs_fl_ivvt__n - Accelerator pedal position threshold for full load detection - VANOS
- id_pvs_fl_vim__n_vim - Accelerator pedal position threshold for full load detection - DISA
In the full load state, the MS43 changes VANOS and DISA to seperate tables, but for injection it adds a specified amount of fuel.
This leaves us the following tables that actually alter injection, VANOS and DISA behaviour.
- ip_ti_fl__n - Full load enrichment factor for nominal injection time
- ip_cam_sp_tco_1_in_fl__n - Intake camshaft setpoint during full load with cold engine
- ip_cam_sp_tco_1_ex_fl__n - Exhaust camshaft setpoint during full load with cold engine
- ip_cam_sp_tco_2_in_fl__n - Intake camshaft setpoint during full load with warm engine
- ip_cam_sp_tco_2_ex_fl__n - Exhaust camshaft setpoint during full load with warm engine
- id_vim_fl__n_vim - Variable intake manifold (DISA) activation setpoints at full load
To extract every last bit of power out of your engine, there is c_pvs_fl_accin that handles the deactivation of the AC compressor when exceding the configured value.
Tip: To make tuning at full load (and wide open throttle) operation easier, you can change the conversion factor of the ip_ti_fl__n table to display lamba or AFR depending on your preference.
Title | Conversion | Low Range | High Range |
---|---|---|---|
ip_ti_fl__n (Lambda) | 1-(0.0039058823*X-0.5) | 0.500 | 1.500 |
ip_ti_fl__n (AFR Gas) | 14.7-(14.7*(0.0039058823*X-0.5)) | 7.409 | 22.050 |
Warning: Keep in mind, that all full load injection edits rely on a proper part load fueling table.

Extra Features
Engine Coolant Temperature Control
The M54 engine family is fitted with an electronic thermostat that the ECU can control to alter the engine coolant temperature.
By altering these values we can change how hot the engine will run in different conditions.
E-thermostat minimum conditions
- c_tam_min_ect - Minimum ambient temperature threshold for e-thermostat activation
- c_tia_min_ect - Minimum intake air temperature threshold for e-thermostat activation
- c_toil_min_ect - Minimum oil temperature threshold for e-thermostat activation
- c_tco_min_ect - Minimum coolant temperature threshold for full energization of the e-thermostat
E-thermostat maximum conditions
- c_tia_max_ect - Maximum intake air temperature threshold. When exceeded target coolant temperature will be set to c_tco_sp_tia_max
- c_tco_ex_max_ect - Maximum radiator outlet temperature threshold. When exceeded target coolant temperature will be set to c_tco_sp_tco_ex_max
- c_toil_max_ect - Maximum oil temperature threshold. When exceeded target coolant temperature will be set to c_tco_sp_tia_max
E-thermostat target coolant temperature
- c_tco_sp_toil_min - Target coolant temperature until the thresholds set by c_toil_min_ect, c_tam_min_ect, and c_tia_min_ect are exceeded.
- c_tco_sp_tco_ex_max - Target coolant temperature if c_tco_ex_max_ect is exceeded
- c_tco_sp_tia_max - Target coolant temperature if c_toil_max_ect or c_tia_max_ect are exceeded
- c_tco_bol_ect - Target coolant temperature if an external low coolant temperature request has been received
E-thermostat target coolant temperatures maps
- id_tco_sp_ect__n__maf_sub - Target coolant temperature when c_toil_min_ect, c_tam_min_ect, and c_tia_min_ect are exceeded - AC off
- id_tco_sp_ect_acin__n__maf_sub - Target coolant temperature Target coolant temperature when c_toil_min_ect, c_tam_min_ect, and c_tia_min_ect are exceeded - AC on
E-thermostat regulations
- ip_ectpwm_i__tco_dif - e-thermostat I component
- ip_ectpwm_p__tco_dif - e-thermostat P component
- id_ectpwm_add__n__tco_sp - Required e-thermostat duty cycle to achieve coolant temperature setpoint
PS : some of you may experience loss of power setting coolant temperature too low on M54B30. Seems that those engines likes higher temp for optimal run.
Secondary Air Pump Delete
For forced OBD Readiness set C_CONF_SAP: "1"
Lambda Sensor Configuration
Constant "c_conf_cat" has five different options which represent the ecu´s ability to work with different lambda probe setups.
Set the following values that suit you needs:
- 0: Single bank with one pre-cat lambda sensor or cat-preparation (SA199)
- 1: Twin bank with two pre-cat lambda sensors or cat-preparation (SA199) and automatic learning of postcat sensors
- 2: Single bank with one precat lambda sensor and one post-cat lambda sensor
- 3: Twin bank with two pre-cat lambda sensors and one post-cat lambda sensors
- 4: Twin bank with two pre-cat lambda sensors and two post-cat lambda sensors
The automatic learning process of post-cat lambda sensors starts after deleting "learned variants" with INPA.
After installing catless headers, it could be useful to eliminate post-cat sensors with setting "c_conf_cat" to "1".
MAF Sensor Scalar Adjustments
The standard MAF sensor map is a non-interpolated 16*16 lookup table, that can also be shown as 1*256 "voltage (v) vs. airflow (kg/h)" table. The 10 bit analog to digital conversion is reduced to 8 bits and 4 bits of each are used to lookup the MAF value.
There are differences in flow between the M54B22/M54B25 and M54B30 MAF sensors, as the diametre is different. Differences in cross sectional area would be expected to rescale the values, but the sensor is part of the tube and not easily modified.
Replacement slot type sensors (Ford based) are often used in high output blow through configurations for turbocharging, as the BMW OEM sensors are not well suited to boost in blow through setup.
"Engine load (mg/stroke) is proportional to "airflow (kg/h)" divided by RPM and is used to reference most of the important injection and ignition tables.
There is a factory airflow limit of 1024kg/h that can be doubled or quadrupled with a patch that has undergone basic testing, but the maximum engine load is still limited to 1389mg/stroke, unless there are massive code rewrites.
A M54B30 pulls about 600mg/stroke in cold conditions with a maximum airflow of about 630kg/h.
Changes to MAF tables should be kept smooth and progressive. Fuel trims plotted against MAF voltage can be used to fine tune the closed loop areas.
RPM limiter
The Siemens MS43 has two gear dependant engine speed limiters, a softlimiter and a hardlimiter for each gearbox type (manual or automatic transmission).
The softlimiter works by cutting single injectors based on fuelcut pattern, whereas the hardlimiter immediately cuts off all cylinders.
- id_n_max_at: softlimiter for AT gearbox
- id_n_max_mt: softlimiter for MT gearbox
- id_n_max_max_at: hardlimiter for AT gearbox
- id_n_max_max_mt: hardlimiter for MT gearbox
In addition to that, you will want to raise id_n_max_vs_max_at or id_n_max_vs_max_mt slightly above the hardlimiter.
The Siemens MS43 receives the current vehicle speed (_vs) via CAN bus from the rear right speed sensor signal of the ABS control unit. This is new and differs from older chassis that got it from a sensor inside the differential.
In case the ECU doesn't get a valid vehicle speed signal, for example when you put an M54 engine in an older chassis, or strip out the ABS block for weight reasons, a third RPM limiter is applied:
- c_n_max_cs_diag C_N_MAX_VS_DIAG: RPM limiter in case of missing vehicle speed
For aggressive HardCut:
- c_n_max_hys 32 to 0
- c_n_max_hys_max 320 to 32
VMAX limiter
The Siemens MS43 has two gearbox dependant speed limiters, set them to 255 to have unrestricted vehicle speed.
- C_VS_MAX_AT_1
- C_VS_MAX_MT_1
Fake Race Camshafts / Lumpy Idle Mod
Faking some serious camshafts is pretty easy as M54 engine has adjustable camshafts. So basically whats happening when going camshafts is, the valve overlap will be increased by a huge amount. This means, intake and exhaust valves are open at the same time.
- ip_cam_sp_tco_1_ex_is__n__maf_iv
- ip_cam_sp_tco_2_ex_is__n__maf_iv
- ip_cam_sp_tco_1_in_is__n__maf_iv
- ip_cam_sp_tco_2_in_is__n__maf_iv
- c_n_min_er >idlespeed, to not trigger during when engine idles lumpy.
Max adjustable value for the different engine specs:
The biggest valve overlap will be achieved when using the lowest adjustable value on the intake side (80° respectively 86°) and the lowest adjustable value on the exhaust side (-80°)
A good starting point for further optimization could be:
Safety Features
The following information need to be handled with care as you´re able to turn off safety features! This can lead to severe damage to your engine.
Catalyst Overtemperature Protection
To disable Catalyst Overtemperature Protection, or short COP, set ip_maf_min_cop__n__iga_dif and ip_maf_min_cop_ron__n__iga_dif to "1389".
CAT Heating
- id_t_ch_ti_cat_var__tco_st - Duration after start to switch on the injection time correction for catalyst heating function with cat-preparation (c_conf_cat 0 or 1)
- ip_t_ch_ti__tco_st__km_ctr - Duration after start to switch on the injection time correction for catalyst heating function
- id_t_iga_ch_cat_var__tco_st - Duration after start to switch on the ignition angle intervention for catalyst heating function with cat-preparation (c_conf_cat 0 or 1)
- ip_t_iga_ch__tco_st__km_ctr - Duration after start to switch on the ignition angle intervention for catalyst heating function
Set them to "0" to disable catalyst heating injection and ignition altering.
Misfire Detection
- c_n_min_er: minimum engine speed for detection of misfire!
- c_n_max_er: maximum engine speed for detection of misfire!
Knock Detection
- id_iga_dec_knk_1__n: ignition angle reduction based on knock stage1
- id_iga_dec_knk_2__n: ignition angle reduction based on knock stage2
Injection Adaptation
- c_n_ti_ad_fac_min: min engine speed to allow adapation of fuel trim, multiplicative
- c_n_ti_ad_add_max: max engine speed to allow adapation of fuel trim, additive

Here are some handy mods when going forced induction Forced_Induction_Upgrades
Idle Control Valve Delete
Removing the idle control valve (ICV) / idle speed actuator (ISA) is possible due to the motorized throttle body the M54 engine uses.
Disconnect the idle control valve connector and either remove the idle control valve and plug the hole in the intake manifold (preferred) or use something to seal the idle control valve air tight.
If you want to machine a matching plug, use this template: ISA_Delete_Plug.pdf
The way the ICV delete works is by utilizing the ip_pvs_isa_isapwm table. This table dictates how much pvs input should be added to the drivers requested pvs input for a given idle control valve load.
In a stock engine this table is used to extend the idle control valve load so when the idle control valve load goes above 100% the throttle will start to open to deliver more air into the engine.
By rescaling this table we are able to completely remove the idle control valve.
But be aware that the values in ip_pvs_isa_isapwm is dependent on the values in ip_tps_sp_pvs so if ip_tps_sp_pvs is modified then ip_pvs_isa_isapwm also needs to be re-scaled accordingly to maintain a stable idle.
The ip_pvs_isa_isapwm values in the picture are made for a M54B30 so the values may need to be modified to get a stable idle with M54B25 and M54B22 as these engines have a smaller throttle body.
This modification modifies a monitoring table so the calibration addition checksum needs to be corrected or disabled after applying the changes. Check here for more information about checksums.
Exhaust Pop Modifications
When tuning for exhaust pops there are two approaches that can be taken.
Toggleable exhaust pops
This approach disables the trailing throttle fuel cut by raising the minimum engine speed threshold for trailing throttle fuel cut to an engine speed that the engine can't reach, this will produce continuous exhaust pops as soon as the throttle is lifted. As the MS43 has two separate tables for when the AC is on or off we can use that logic to for example only activate exhaust pops when the AC is on.
- ip_n_min_puc__tco - Minimum engine speed for trailing throttle fuel cut activation with AC off
- ip_n_min_accin_puc__tco - Minimum engine speed for trailing throttle fuel cut activation with AC on
To tune the intensity of the exhaust pops the following ignition tables can be used.
- ip_iga_pu__n__tco - Target ignition angle in case of trailing throttle
- ip_iga_puc__n__tco - Target ignition angle in case of trailing throttle fuel cut-off
- ip_iga_accin_puc__n__tco - Target ignition angle in case of trailing throttle fuel cut-off with AC on
Timered exhaust pops
This approach uses a built in timer function in the MS43 which delays the activation of the trailing throttle fuel cut by a set amount of time. With this approach it's possible to achieve a set amount of pops before the trailing throttle fuel cut is activated.
- c_t_puc_deacc_vs - Delay before activating trailing throttle fuel cut when car is stationary
- ip_t_puc_deacc_1__n__maf_mmv - Delay before activating trailing throttle fuel cut. First gear
- ip_t_puc_deacc_2__n__maf_mmv - Delay before activating trailing throttle fuel cut. Second gear
- ip_t_puc_deacc_3__n__maf_mmv - Delay before activating trailing throttle fuel cut. Third gear
- ip_t_puc_deacc_4__n__maf_mmv - Delay before activating trailing throttle fuel cut. Forth gear
- ip_t_puc_deacc_5__n__maf_mmv - Delay before activating trailing throttle fuel cut. Fifth gear
To tune the intensity of the exhaust pops the same tables as the toggleable exhaust pops approach can be used.
Both approaches can also be combined in the following way to have short pops with AC off and continous pops when the AC is on.
M Cluster LED Control
After swapping in an M3 cluster into a E46 or M5 cluster into E39, there is no more ecometer displaying the momentary fuel consumption, but a more useful oiltemperature gauge.
Using this cluster and some additional code we can also control the LEDs around the RPM gauge to work similar to the E46 M3 and also manage shiftlights behaviour.
Following maps are used:
- id_icl_toil_led__n - LEDs used at the given oil tempetature for the warmup light feature
- ldpm_toil_led - Oil temperatur axis to adjust the switch points of the led array for the warmup light feature
- id_icl_led__n - LEDs used at the given enginespeed for the shift light feature
- ldpm_toil_led - Engine Speed axis to adjust the switch points of the led array for the shift light feature

Launch Control
Setting up LC:
Set the following maps in TunerPro:
Configuration Launch Control
- Launch_PVS_min (i suggest to set this switch over 50% and UNDER 70%. Anything different may lead to non-working LC)
- Launch_TCO_min (and this to "-48" )
- Launch_RPM_max
- Launch_VS_max (set to "1")
Using LC:
- Make sure coolant temp is equal or above the threshold and ASC/DSC is turned off
- Depress the clutch pedal
- Put car into first gear
- Floor the accelerator pedal! (At least that °PVS matches the threshold!)
- Engine speed should bounce at chosen rpm setpoint. There may be offset which engine speed bounces, like +/- 200rpm
- Release clutch pedal while holding accelerator pedal down.
- Engine speed will be reduced until vehicle speed exceeds chosen threshold (currently not working!)
Engine RPM setting may be adjusted according to road conditions/tire setup, in order to minimize wheel spin.
For additional aggressiveness set "c_n_max_hys_max" to 32 or 64, then LC is much less bouncy
