Unhappy just had my F10 dinan stage 2 tune, and the results were disappointing !! Heeellpp !!

so i picked my car couple of days ago from the new dinan dealer here in dubai, and was really excited to try it,, but the results were really depressing as the car showed slight improvement that's not even considerable, and actually got my friend to try the car without telling him about the tune, and asked him "Did you feel something different?" he was like mmmmmmm no its the same ,, guys any ideas or suggestions ??


pm; ill upload a video soon to show the car's performance after the tune

495hp and 573tq for stage 1 and 501hp and 580tq for stage 2 That's not much of a difference that you could feel in the seat imo. I assume you had a stage 1 right? Or did you go straight to stage 2?

If you went from factory to a stage 2, don't worry. It actually seemed to take a day or two for things to really kick in. Not sure why. However, don't panic. Give it 48 hours or so. This may not be the case for everyone. Just seemed so for me. I felt the same way. However, I certainly don't anymore!

What is the reason for the delay?

My Hartge tune was instant raw power that is the same the day it was installed to today.

you should have done a baseline dyno first instead of relying on the butt dyno.

yes!. Imagine if the n54 tuners get their hands on one of these. It would be a 550-600 hp beast. With a tune and meth injection .

I dont think the market is big enough for the f10 550 guys though.

i really wish there were more tuners on this platform, I really dont want to dish out dinan prices, but it appears there isnt much of a choice at this point

Anyone else have the Dinan S2 on a 2012 550i M-Sport?

I have been waiting to add it to my car along with the springs and am interested to know how others like it.

Also, any other tuning options?

Thanks!

I have the S2 and love it. It transforms the car into a fast moving beast. With my 550xi, I consistently run 0-60 at 4.0 seconds and the quarter mile at 12.5 seconds at 112 MPH.

The driveability is the same as stock. In comfort+ mode cruising around town at low RPMs, you would not think that the car is tuned at all. Smash the throttle and you are pushed deep into the seats as the car accelerates. In sport mode, the car is a rocket.

No issues with this 14.0 psi tune. However, I wish it made even more power. Dinan's 580 #-ft in a 550 is less thrilling than JB3's 425 #-ft in a 335. Perhaps the Dinan tune does not develop peak torque at very low RPMS. The 5-series is much heavier and the cabin is very isolated from the road, which further contributes to a rather dull experience. However, you can be moving at tremendous speeds and don't notice it until you look at your speedometer.

I would recommend Dinan, even with their high price, as there are little if any other alternatives in the US. If you financed and like to get new cars every 3-years, or leased for that matter, then it makes little sense to be waiting for the release of cheaper tune. By the time one is released, you will be that much closer to moving on to a newer vehicle.

I'm running Dinan exhaust and Stage 3 software on my 2012 M Sport. It is a big difference over stock. Exhaust could be a little louder, but it sounds good for a big sedan and remains mellow until WOT.

Pricey parts, but the software is the biggest difference.
