Dinan s3 550gt vs bms 550xi
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Something tells me this is another Dinan car that did not get the tune installed correctly... and this is of how it looks from front Dinan time is on the left my time is on the right, we ran about 6 times and it's the same outcome.

seems like Dealers do not install the software correctly, this is not the 1st car.

Yes that was my GT. The tune was not working apparently, so technically it was a stock GT. I will be speaking with DINAN today on this issue, I am very upset.

How the hell would you not know that the tune just wasn't there?? The difference between any of the Dinan tunes vs stock is significant.

Your time slip indicates that your vehicle is no where near the M5 power you claim. Better get that sorted out

From what I understand, he had stage 2, upgraded to stage 3, but stage 3 wasn't installed properly and is really running stock. He should have easily been able to "feel" the difference when the tune went away.

yeah when i installed BMS i felt it right away the car became more responsive it was a day and night. i guess Dinan increase in stages is so minor people don't feel it ?

I had the same experience as you when I went from stock to Dinan Stage 2. Day and Night. He should have at least noticed that something was different between stage 3 and stock right? Something seems fishy.

But after seeing the 1/4 mile times are the exact same as stock, I was very dissapointed.

I had read your previous review when you got the stage 3 that you felt the difference pretty dramatically (in a good way).....did the tune go away? did you do any work on the car that would alter the tune? Just curious since my car is tuned and would want to be careful to ensure that the tune does not disappear. Just curious...hope it all gets sorted out.
