Standalone Engine Management Without Rewiring
BMW performance builds demand engine management that can support serious power without turning the car into a wiring project.
AMP Engine Management offers vehicle-specific BMW Plug-and-Play (PNP) ECUs that replace the factory computer and connect directly to the original BMW ECU connector and factory wiring harness — no cutting, splicing, repinning, or adapter harnesses required.
From classic inline-six platforms to modern high-performance BMW builds, AMP delivers true standalone control while keeping installations clean, OEM-style, and serviceable.
✅ True plug-and-play factory ECU replacement
✅ Uses the stock BMW harness and factory connectors
✅ Built for high-performance BMW applications and racing
✅ Supports drag racing and track use
✅ Made in the USA + real in-house tech support (20 years)
True Plug-and-Play BMW ECU Design (What Sets AMP Apart)
Many standalone ECUs advertise “plug-and-play” but still require wiring changes, patch harnesses, or sensor conversions. AMP BMW Plug-and-Play ECUs are engineered differently.
What “True Plug-and-Play” Means for BMW Platforms
Unplug the factory BMW ECU
Plug in the AMP ECU using the factory connector
Retain the original engine wiring harness
Retain factory sensors (where applicable)
No adapter harnesses
No repinning
No cutting or splicing
You get full standalone control without compromising the factory wiring layout.
Built for High-Performance BMW Builds
BMW enthusiasts push their platforms hard — and the ECU has to keep up.
AMP BMW Plug-and-Play ECUs are designed to support real-world high-performance builds, including:
Built engines
Camshaft and valvetrain upgrades
Intake and airflow modifications
Turbocharged and supercharged applications
Race-oriented engine combinations
Custom BMW engine projects
Whether the goal is high-RPM naturally aspirated performance or forced-induction power, AMP provides the tuning control required for serious BMW builds.
Track & Power Control Features for BMW Platforms
BMW platforms are widely used in drag racing, road racing, and track-focused builds, and AMP ECUs are designed with those demands in mind.
