If BMW upgrades your software
You will need to reload dinan But dinan does not charge for that

I had the Stage II tune done at my local dealership and I absolutely love it. It wasn't that noticeable at first but after about a 2-3 week "break in" period the torque and response is definitely much improved. I would recommend it to anyone, especially since it is dealer installed and fully backed by the warranty.

Take a peek under N55 Drag Times. The Stage Two Dinan shaved 1/2 a second off my otherwise stock 335.
I just wish the new Stage Three software had bigger gains. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...=504328&page=9 I highly recommend the Dinan Stage Two.

I have had the Dinan Stage II from the release date, Had it installed at Budd's BMW in Oakville. They are one of the largest BMW dealerships in North America and are Dinan's largest dealer.
The car handle's very well. I have had the opportunity to demo a stock vs. PPK1 vs. Dinan Stage II right at the dealership. The difference between all three is real and very noticable. But as others have pointed out, there are other mod options such as AA, JB and others that work very well. In business, a company like Dinan doesn't stay in business for as long as they have if they are "out to lunch on pricing". Bottom line, find a tune that fits your budget and your needs and burn those tires!!! Now I am just waiting for my LSD to arrive....

Yes brother- the only ones in NJ I know of are Prestige in Ramsey NJ
and Circle in Eatontown- both a bit of a hike for me, but hopefully I never have to see them for a 'mishap'... |

who is the retard that takes a tune car to dealer without clearning the codes and taking out the tune it self? So far after 12000 mile cars runs great with jb4, race gas and DP's etc... Dinan is good, JB4 is better and Cobb wlll be my first choice when it first comes out. My neigbhor had dinan stage 2 on his n54 and was anti JB4 until he finaly tried it and never looked back.

As for code clearing, I can do it, albeit not automatically, via my p3 gauge. Thing is I don't have codes to clear just yet. I'm moving up to s3 since there is still no Cobb or GIAC on the horizon. Honestly, the Dinan tune is smoother and better than my prior accessport results on my old wrx and sti. There is always oe tuning for a real custom flash that should be relatively flexible. I'd have gone that route over Cobb and Giac without Dinan being available.

Dinan tune with an automatic trans
Anyone out there have the Dinan tune with an automatic transmission? If so, I would like to know how the shift points are affected. I have owned other cars with tunes and automatic transmissions, and the behavior was negatively impacted. One tune always forced the transmission to hold each gear too long, while another tended to shift too abruptly. Any thoughts here?

Yes I have a stage III with my automatic N55.
Not really versed on the whole shifting thing- I just know it's plenty powerful for me. |

OP, be wary of power claims, dyno results in other threads show about the same power as the PPK for stage 1.

C'mon man, I had the PPK before this. I don't really know what the numbers are, so I will get proven results either way- been meaning to.
I can't wait to get on a dyno...will have results soon I hope...just gotta find one in NJ- anyone know a good one? That's open on Saturdays? Also which KIND of dyno is best for our RWDs? Mustang? Butt dyno? |

I have Dinan stage 2 software and dinan exhaust... plenty happy with it. I run errands and drive spirited on weekends. No real driving during the week since i commute to NYC via bus/train. Its personal preference i guess.
I bought the car new in May and am about to hit 4k miles... shows you how much i drive haha.

Here's a good article on the difference between dynos: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=214597 If you were are serious about the "butt dyno" comment, I'm gonna be nice here, lol... "butt dyno" is just referring to people's perception of their power. As in, "I sat in my car and drove it and it feels like it's got 300hp!" It's not an actual dyno device. If you don't care about absolute power gains and want a little more pep in your car while still maintaning your warranty and not having to worry about that stuff, then the Dinan is a fine choice. I personally think they price gouge and they have had their share of problems with their tunes (do a search on the forums), but you are paying for the piece of mine (warranty).
