Dinan F30/F32 Tune
Hey all,
I'm digging for information, and its driving me crazy, I know there are a couple other tunes, but I really don't want a piggyback and would prefer to have a warranty backing a product (Dinan). If anyone has any news, please post it I know a couple of guys who are dying for more info.

I contacted Dinan back in August 2013 and received this response...
"We are still diligently working on a software solution for the F30 328i and 335i. We obviously know the N55 engine very well, seeing as how it came out in 2011. The issue is that the newer chassis’s that the engines are mounted in are massively complex, with numerous communication systems that we haven’t seen before. Which is why we haven’t been able to release a software solution for the F30 as of yet. That being said, I am hopeful that we’ll have something for the F30 cars in the latter part of this year. I can’t predict if that’ll immediately translate to your 435i, as we don’t have a 435i in development as of yet." I'm still hoping to see something from them in late summer, but I don't have any official information other than the quote above. |

I know this isn't what you're looking for, but a BMS Stage 1 or JB4 is a great way to go. These things are thoroughly tested (been around for many years) and I've yet to hear of any issues. I was initially hesitant to, got tired of waiting for Dinan, and now couldn't be happier. Just a thought.

Just get a JB4 and remove before you visit to the dealership.

Isn't Dinan's recently released F30 Shockware evidence that their engine tune is probably just over the horizon?

The JB4 is a great tune but for someone who might be happy with Dinan power levels check out the BMS N55 Stage1. Installs and removes in minutes, costs less, and is a nice kick in the pants to tide you over.

I'm thinking Shockware is evidence of Dinan getting past BMW's encryption. The rest is relatively easy.

Must be why they are releasing a piggy-back. What happened to that encryption bypass? |

At any rate, the info about their tune being a piggy-back is incorrect...

Well...
I'd be happy just to get Dinan springs and Shockware for my 435i xDrive. I had Dinan Stage 2 on my 2007 335i manual coupe, and the chassis couldn't handle the torque. With the MPPK and the 8 AT this thing is pretty close to my 2010 M3 DCT in a straight line. What it really needs is a better suspension and tires.

Nope, just spoke to them on the phone about it numerous times.

No offense but I don't believe it,
Dinan has been saying all along that they have no interest in piggyback systems and the issue has been the ecu encryption. They have been able to get past this now....shockware is evidence as the others have pointed out. Tune should not be far off....my bet is it comes by end of June.
