Just curious Mo- how is the drivability of the car after the tune? I am picturing myself just spinning in placing jerking around everywhere -that isn't the case right?

No way!! You won't notice a difference in ANYTHING except when you put your foot on the gas. WOOHOOOO!! Idle fluctuated a bit for the first 500 miles or so on start up (for maybe 5 seconds) since the computer was learning the tune. That happened to me, but most others said they didn't even get that. Either way, its normal if it does happen.

Haha- thanks brometheus! Will report back
Tomorrow can't come soon enough! Would you even bother with the black diamond? The only sad thing is I'll lose my burble pop from my PPK ...but I'm sure I'll forget all about that once I put my foot on the gas |

The stage 2 was $1750 for parts and labor, but there was another grand and a half added on top of that for the other parts and labor. I also had the performance suspension put in at the same time and was told some additional work would have to be done to bring it up to sport spec.

Now all I really want to do is get a performance steering wheel with paddle shifters and a driver's side sports seat.
Oh, and some decent rims and tires too.

I have had the Dinan Stage II Tune since it came out. They have done an amazing job as usual. I have tried other tunes and they all have their unique features. What I like about the Dinan tune is that it enhances the day today drivability as well and being able to respond on demand.
Adding a great exhaust really makes it a fun car to drive and listen too. I get all kinds of comments on my OEM Performance Exhaust as well.

I have driven the \n55 with a few other tunes from guys at the track. The gains from the Dinan tune are very noticable. If you check for a local BMW dealership that is a Dinan Centre, I am sure you can do a test run with your car versus a similiar Dinan tuned one.
The dealership I had my done at did exactly this for me and it was very noticeable!

I am willing to take anyone who might be near me in the NJ area on a run- even though I have AT...there will be no doubt after a test run
Stage 3 suspension is next |

So long story short I disagree with your post.....And for $5,000 you can pick up a Kenne Bell blower and all supporting mods and run 10's and rape evertything on the street pretty much. But what do I know about cobras....

There is a very long thread on Dinan in the 1 series forum. After reviewing and comparing dyno charts for both Dinan and BMW's PPK 1, I came away unconvinced that Dinan was any better. The BMW PPK is no fuss no muss. The warranty is not affected and extended warranties are available. It is $1,000 less than Dinan. I am very happy with the PPK1.
If you want the maximum power per dollar, get a JB4 and hope for the best as far as the warranty goes. I have had some communications with forum members who get great results from the JB4 but further mods (down pipe, FMIC, exhaust, intake) caused problems. That is not to say that these items do not work. It appears there is more involved than just bolting things on.
