Ask for competition package.

Hi~~
I have a question.
My car doesn't have a Competition Package option
I have CP hardware and CP ECU/CAS4.
Can I use the CP option with ECU programming?

Yes. BMW has the software that gives you the 575 HP or 600 HP CP software.

You need to ask your dealer however. The availability is dependent on whether it was offered in your country or not. I don't think it was offered here in the US, but it was an option offered in Europe.

Also, you should ask them if the ECU update is simply for the HP increase. The overall CP updates include remapped MDM and EDC software. Your car doesn't have the hardware for the other CP features such as steering rack and lower suspension springs.

Ultimately, I advise that you should not spend money on any of this. The CP's extra HP only occurs within the last 1000 RPMs or so near redline. How often do you really drive your car at the level? A 3rd party ECU tune would be more useable as it increases power and torque across the entire rev range.
