That isn't written for anywhere outside North America though besides it's called marketing man, they charge 2x's what other tuners here charge for the same product they gotta justify it some how.

I agree it's expensive, but excluding Burger's Juice Box, where else can you get 55HP for $2k? A lot of people spend much more on exhaust mods for 1/2 that gain.

I did read some of the benefits of the Dinan tunes: It raises the speed of the electric water pump, increase throttle and shift response. Does anyone know if BMS does this with the tune as well? Any tuner can remap the fuel/air/boost, but what else does the BMS tune comes with...?! |

That's a bit harsh of a claim, no? I have neither on my car as I am waiting to see if in time they can find more hp. If I recall, I think there are multiple stories about Dinan and there so called "warranty".

Supposedly, Dinan claims that they will pay for the parts and labor charges in dispute because of their flash. They market that any internal dispute between themselves and BMW on warranty claims would be transparent to the end user, as they would pay and then hash it out with BMW afterwards. I asked on the forums before purchasing the Dinan flash about actual warranty payouts by Dinan. Nobody presented a case of an actual coverage event, probably because the tune is very mild and the additional wear and tear will not be noted until you reach 6-digit miles. This has been proven by thousands of N54 users who increased their power to levels significantly higher than what Dinan offers. |

The way I see it, Dinan charges 5X more for the same tune offered by BMS. The extra money goes into their insurance bucket to cover warranty claims. To give Dinan credit, I haven't heard any horror stories of them not living up to their warranty claim. But, it does take longer than usual to get your car fix while BMW and Dinan arm wrestles. |

Message from Dinan on 03/13 regarding status...............
We have been making good progress on the communication “challenges”. Wouldn’t be surprised if they have this cracked in the next month or so. Scott
