I believe I've been noticing my car running slightly warmer as well, and hoping it's not a bad thing. The gauge is showing the temp at almost half after the tune.

For $3k why didn't you go the Dinan route? |

To get a tune from Dinan, additional hardware and their exhaust, it would run him way over $3k including warranty issues. The main reason people go with BMW upgrades is because it's factory-proof.

This is why I initially posted in the overall section, but I guess when they moved it here, it works as well. The tune brings the same result for both N54 and the N55, so people can expect the same results, hence why I posted it there. I believe the N55, with time, will surpass the common discussions of the N54 since all new 335i's have it.

I see your point; that's true. But hopefully some F30 owners might drop by for our knowledgeable advice every once in a while, lol.

120 C was the normal operating temperature, I believe there is nothing to worry about unless you go over 130 C A few weeks ago I had Evotech flash and still keep the hardware of PPK , I see lower temperatures compared to PPK.

The Stage 2 from Dinan is MSRP @ $2k. Dealers here are negotiable on price. The only other performance difference was the exhaust. Plus, with Dinan you get a lot more for your money and they pick up the warranty. |

Yeah, that stage 2 is only the software from them. The exhuast is another 2k, then the hardware under the hood is another 2k, whereas he got everything from under 3k with the PPK. The Dinan warranty is great, but just wait till an arguable component in your cars fails, causing Dinan to say it's BMW fault and BMW to say it's Dinan fault. You get more for your money with Dinan, yes, but you get even more for your money with all the other vendors like JB, Vishu and so on. Sometimes, less is more--there are pros and cons, and PPK is a conservatie, factory mod. Your Dinan-badged car will look a lot more abused when you're selling it as compared to a legit factory upgrade. The PPK doesn't win because it's more for your money, it wins because it has no other cons other than price, which, still, is fairly reasonable. Moreover, the PPK is a small boost upgrade whereas the Dinan tune is a fairly big boost upgrade, which is almost guaranteed to not be as reliable despite the warranty. It's all about what's important to you: Conservatively safe or hardcore?

I'm waiting to see some Cobb people here with the N55 here! Haven't heard much about it at all, otherwise.
