Well, I AM getting the Dinan flash.

I said I'd never do it, because of the price. I changed my mind, bought the Dinan oil cooler, changed my mind again and sold the oil cooler.

Then, I bought another Dinan oil cooler, and scheduled the installation. Will be getting the Dinan flash as well, obviously.

I'll post the review/results of the flash + impressions of the high capacity (cost $$ ) oil cooler after the holiday. Probably will look into getting a dyno done as well. I have a step. sedan, with no sport package.

I've flip-flopped worse than a politican on this one guys. But this is my final decision LOL.

That is an expensive ass oil cooler to have to buy twice. Keep us posted on how you like the flash.

Get the flash.....do you have a stock oil cooler? If so....let us know the benefits of the Dinan over stock Oil Cooler.

Cheers...

Stock brokers and psychologists must love you John Kerry.

BTW, keep us posted. I am a little tired going through Orb's metaphysical debates on dynos.

I'm guessing you don't have the stock oil cooler? If not, did you not get the sport package? If not, I hope you upgraded your wheels and tires. I have trouble putting down the stock power with the tires that came with my sport package. I can't imagine tryting to put down the Dinan tune power in the tires that come without the sport package.

Why not try to get BMW to retrofit their oil cooler.

Or if you can't get them to do it then install the BMW cooler which should be a lot less?

Either way, good luck with the tune.

Yeah, and just think of the bath he's going to take when he tries to sell the car or trade it in too. WOW!

Good luck with it, hope you plan on keeping your 335i for many years with that Dinan flash, and $300 oil cooler they are charging you $2K for.

I don't know what the motivation is behind your puerile outburst...have I kicked you in the nuts before, or something? Also, since you are so concerned with my decision making, I plan on turning the car in when the lease is up. Does that bother you? Do I have your permission?
