Does anyone have any info/ETA on Dinan flash for the N55?

I'm not sure what's going on over there but I've both emailed them and left voicemails asking where they were re: development for the N55 and I've gotten NO response at all. I've been a satisfied customer in the past but their latest showing is pretty uninspiring.....

I think the question should be what is the ETA for N55 flash tuners in general. BMW has apparently tightened the lock on the ECU for the N55.

A response, any response, would be nice though...

Yeah, I agree. I hate it when you don't even receive a response. Even the response of "f*uck off" at least recognizes the fact that they received your email.

A few months back, I saw they were looking for N55 cars so they could further develope the software.

I am sure BMW is doing what they can to keep Dinan from manipulating the software; especially since BMW is planning their own version of tune software.

Dinan is currently not doing anything with the N55 since the software cannot be loaded through the OBD2 plug. To be able to do that the DME has to be modified and that would void any and all warranty, so no deal for now.
I know this because I am a Dinan dealer and work closely with them on vehicle development.

Thank you.

Wish I'd gotten an N63 instead of a N55...
