BMW datalog analysis

The only way to know what an engine is really doing is to watch it while it works. You record a road datalog in the app, we read it, and we tell you plainly how close your car is running to its limits.

What we read in a datalog

Knock correction

How much ignition the ECU is pulling. Sustained, high correction points to fuel quality, carbon build-up or excessive temperature.

Boost deviation

The gap between requested and actual boost. A persistent gap raises questions about leaks, the wastegate or a sensor.

Air-fuel ratio

Whether mixture holds its target under high load. Going lean is the most serious warning sign there is.

Intake air temperature

How output changes as things heat up — a direct measure of intercooler adequacy.

Torque limiter events

The moments the ECU limits itself. This is usually what explains a car that does not feel like the numbers suggest.

Fuel system headroom

Injector duty cycle and rail pressure. Critical if you are considering E85 or a higher stage.

Who is this for?

If you have just bought a used BMW and want to know its real condition, a datalog tells you a great deal long before a warning light does.

If you had the car remapped elsewhere and it feels somehow off, a datalog separates a calibration issue from a mechanical one.

If you are thinking about a remap, logging first is the sensible order: you fix an existing problem rather than papering over it with a calibration.

Datalogs are recorded from the Logger section of the MOSTUNED app and exported as CSV, which you send to us.

Datalog questions

Can I get this without buying a remap?

Yes, datalog analysis is offered as a standalone service.

How do I record a log?

In the app's Logger section you pick the channels to watch and hit record. We tell you in advance what kind of run to do.

Will a datalog definitively find a fault?

A datalog gives strong indicators but does not replace physical inspection. If the findings point to a mechanical check, we will say so clearly.
