In the Kommunist Republic of Kanada, the Dinan SW is $2400 CDN (which is $2400 USD! with current exchange rates) plus an hour of labor.

It is confirmed that the 08 3 series use the D-CAN cable to upload software to the ECU. Unfortunately all the Dinan MIPP cards + programmers use the PT-CAN. So for 08 3er, you need to send in your ECU, major PITA.

I noted the PT-CAN / D-CAN distinction awhile ago when I had my M6 programmed.... Because of the way Dinan controls the licensing with their programmers, they are not keeping up with BMW and the way BMW programs their ECUs.

Have fun!
