MHD Flasher License for N55e: The Ultimate Tuning Solution for BMW Enthusiasts

The MHD Flasher N55 E-Series license represents a significant leap forward in BMW tuning technology. For owners of BMW vehicles equipped with the N55 engine, this flasher license offers a comprehensive and user-friendly solution to unlock the hidden potential of their cars. Unlike traditional piggyback modules, the MHD Flasher provides complete Digital Motor Electronics (DME) remapping. This crucial distinction ensures that while you’re maximizing your vehicle’s performance, all of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) safety mechanisms are meticulously maintained. This approach guarantees not only unrivaled drivability but also peak performance without compromising safety.

Imagine being able to install a sophisticated tuning solution right in your garage and immediately start enhancing your N55e’s performance. With the MHD Flasher N55-E app, this is your reality. By simply downloading the app on your Apple iOS or Android device and connecting it to your vehicle’s OBD-II port via the MHD Wireless Adapter, you initiate a process that takes just about 7 minutes for the initial setup. Subsequent map changes are even quicker, completing in a mere 60 seconds. This ease of use is further enhanced by the ability to revert your vehicle back to its original factory OEM flash at any point, and there’s no need for an initial backup – simplifying the entire tuning experience.

The Super License is your all-access pass to the full spectrum of MHD functionalities, bundling everything you need into one powerful package.

• Flasher License: Core Tuning Capabilities

At its heart, the Flasher License unlocks the fundamental ability to flash your DME with MHD. This includes a range of options, from MHD OTS (Off-The-Shelf) maps and JB4 backend maps to fully customized tunes.

Features:

1. Stage 0 Stock Power: Even at the base level, the Flasher License provides a “Stage 0” option, maintaining stock power levels but enabling all flash options. This is perfect for users who want to explore customization without immediately increasing horsepower.
2. Diagnostic and Maintenance Functions: Beyond performance enhancements, the license includes essential maintenance features such as reading and deleting engine codes and performing adaptations resets.

Available Flash Options: Tailoring Your Driving Experience

The MHD Flasher License goes beyond simple performance boosts, offering a range of customizable features to fine-tune your driving experience:

• Exhaust Burble Adjustment: Customize your exhaust burble with adjustable parameters for duration, aggressiveness, minimum RPM, and minimum speed. You can even set different burble profiles for different driving modes.

• Kick-Down Deactivation: Gives you more control over gear changes by deactivating the kick-down function.

• Cold Start Noise Reduction: For a more subtle start-up, reduce cold start noise.

• Variable Coolant Targets: Optimize engine temperatures with variable coolant targets.

• Top Speed Limiter (Vmax) Removal: Unleash the full potential of your BMW by removing the factory top speed limiter.

• Linear Throttle Mapping: For a more responsive and predictable throttle, activate linear throttle mapping.

• Individual Minimum Idle RPM: Fine-tune your engine’s idle speed to your preference.

• Aftermarket Parts Support: The MHD Flasher is designed to support a wide range of aftermarket modifications, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance.

• MHD+: Advanced Customization and Control

Stepping up to MHD+ unlocks a suite of advanced, custom-coded features that provide an unparalleled level of control over your N55e engine’s behavior.

1. On the Fly Map Switching: This feature allows you to switch between up to four different maps on the fly, within the same stage. This is invaluable for adapting to varying fuel qualities (like switching between pump gas and ethanol blends such as E30) or adjusting power levels. If you have a flex fuel sensor installed, you can still dedicate all four slots to pump gas maps, allowing for quick adjustments based on the current fuel quality.

   Beyond octane adjustments, a power level slider for each map slot lets you reduce power output from 100% down to 50% in 5% increments. This is perfect for creating a valet map or a lower-power cruising map.

2. Antilag System: Experience rapid boost building with the integrated antilag system. By holding the volume down button on your steering wheel (or cruise control stalk) and applying heavy throttle, the system pre-spools the turbo. Once you release the button, you’re launched with minimal turbo lag.

   Safety is paramount: the antilag system incorporates safeguards for coolant temperature, exhaust gas temperature (EGT), maximum usage duration, and cooldown periods. These parameters are set to safe values for OTS maps, and users can adjust the boost target within safe limits.

3. Switchable Burble per Map Slot: Customize your exhaust burble settings for each map slot. Set up your primary Map 1 with your preferred burble, and then fine-tune the aggressiveness and duration for the remaining slots. This integrates seamlessly with the On The Fly Map Switching feature for dynamic burble adjustments.

4. On The Fly Exhaust Flap Control: Take command of your exhaust flap with real-time control via the MHD+ Live Menu. Choose to keep it always open, always closed (it will still open under high load for safety), or revert to OEM operation.

5. Ethanol Content Quick View: If you have a compatible Ethanol Content Analyzer installed, the MHD+ Live Menu provides a direct readout of your ethanol content.

6. Motiv ReFlex Controller Integration: Enjoy full and native integration with the Motiv ReFlex controller through two-way CANBUS communication. This enables advanced features like DME limp mode activation in case of port injection (PI) injector errors and DME control of external wastegates.

7. Overrun Brap Noise: Emulate the distinctive “brap” noise of M-cars when releasing the throttle after acceleration.

8. No Lift Shift (NLS) for Manual Cars: Manual transmission drivers can execute full-throttle shifts without lifting off the accelerator pedal (clutch depression is still required). NLS allows for quicker shifts, maintains boost pressure between gears, and eliminates “shift bog.” It’s safe for high-power and port-injected cars thanks to the PI Safety feature.

9. PI Safety (Coil Cut): This crucial safety feature, initially introduced on N54 platforms, prevents lean cylinder conditions when the DME cuts fuel injection to individual cylinders (e.g., during misfires or clutch-in shifts). By also preventing the corresponding cylinder’s coil from firing, the system avoids an overly lean mixture from the port injectors alone. Combined with ReFlex integration, which already includes limp mode for PI injector errors, this coil cut safety elevates MHD to the safest platform for running supplemental port injection.

• Monitor License: Engine Health at Your Fingertips

The Monitor License transforms your mobile device into a comprehensive engine monitoring tool. Utilize a configurable and highly responsive gauge layout with up to 8 customizable gauges to keep tabs on over 50 engine parameters.

Parameters such as Boost, Boost Target, Lambda (AFR), Intake Air Temp (IAT), Ignition Timing per Cylinder, Coolant Temperature, Oil Temperature, Oil Pressure, Transmission Temperature, HPFP, Throttle Position, Wastegate Duty-Cycle (WGDC), RPM, Speed, and EGT are readily available. Advanced parameters, not typically exposed by BMW, like Timing Corrections per Cylinder and Boost setpoint, are also accessible for in-depth monitoring and tuning (availability depends on DME software version if MHD is not flashed). Background logging saves data to standard CSV files for later analysis using the integrated log viewer, and professional log analysis services are also available.

• All MHD OTS Maps by Twisted Tuning: Performance Right Out of the Box

MHD includes a wide selection of Off-The-Shelf (OTS) maps developed by Twisted Tuning, catering to various modification levels and octane ratings. These maps are rigorously tested on both roads and dynos, providing a reliable and potent performance boost right after flashing.
