They're quoting $1750 plus tax and about a week for the part to come in. I'm going to give it a week or two before making final decision. Since i"m leasing i'm having second thoughts since I will only be able to amortize the cost over 36 months

Is anyone having issues with Power reduction issues from Drivetrain Malfunction and Chassis Dynamic Suspension Malfunction issues that has the Dinan Tune installed?
I've been dealing with it for a few weeks now. I took it to the Dealership that did the install, they claimed that it was a Dinan issue and received a software up date from them. It was installed and things went good for a week. Then the same thing happened again today, hopefully the Dinan Engineering Forum member will add some light to what is going on. The car was in the shop for close to a week for this the first time.

good info...
i have a new 28 GC and was dead set on ordering this and installing it myself because the dealership (in honolulu) doesn't do dinan. this info might prolly be a deal breaker for me since i am not interested nor capable of dealing with issues of this nature.

Is it possible, yes. Is it practical is a different question... The end user would just have to have the same exact specifications of car in order for it to work properly (same wastegate, same stock tuning, same engine, etc). The second owner would also not have the warranty as that ties to the original VIN. The second owner could purchase a second license for the software in order to obtain the warranty but at that point there really isn't any real incentive to not just buy one new.

Does the tune take away the "cruising" of the tranny?
The n2x doesnt have any engine braking and it will just cruise in the same gear when decelerate

I have seen and experienced random fault codes. And by random, I have seen fault codes be cleared for 2-3 weeks and then all a sudden return. The solution that is applied works and it enhances the signal from the connectors. To note, this same solution is used in many vehicle brands and BMW even has a bulletin themselves requiring techs to use this in intermittent scenario's, non Dinan related. |

The vast majority of the items for the 2015 models should work just fine with the 2016 line. Unfortunately, until we are able to physically assess some of the 2016 models and have a broader database to go on for ETK lookups (they are never too accurate in the early days of a model) we will not be able to give any concrete answers on fitment. That process for the next model year typically takes place at the beginning of fall and the website and other sources of data will be updated on additional fitment at that time.

question

Questions:Can you possibly give more light on Engine's long term reliability with the tune? Would a tuned BMW generally have lesser life than a stock all other things being equal? Has Dinan considered this when it develop the tune? I'd like to keep my car until it is about to die so the answers to these questions are important to me. I know there's that warranty by Dinan but I only drive 5-K a year so in about 15-21K miles more (3 years) then I will be on my own. That is why I'm concerned on the impact of tune in general to the engine's long term life. Maybe this has been addressed in one of Dinan's video or article. If you can point me that I'd appreciate it. PS I'm no mechanic of any sort and thus not an expert on this kind of stuff. Thanks. |

CARB Approval
For all of those interested we have just officially received our EO number for the N26 DINANTRONICS Performance Tuner so now ALL applications are 50 state legal. No caveats, they are all simply legal.

In regards to reliability / lifespan... Dinan cars if kept up with regular maintenance, etc commonly are seen on the market with 150k+ miles on them. The lifespan of a vehicle is directly related to how hard original components are pushed past their rated thresholds. The harder you push the less life you are going to see on a vehicle. During testing of our products we subject them to the same standards that BMW does so we are not living outside of threshold each of those parts can handle. Sure each part could be pushed past its "acceptable" tolerances to create additional power/performance but typically that is at the cost of the life span of the vehicle and/or part. Our original motto of "Performance without Sacrifice" can be construed to a lot of things including this. We want to safely maximize what the vehicle can do without somehow crippling some other aspect in the process. |

Dinan is one of the most famous BMW tuners in the world ... a real shame, that your great products are not offered in Europe or especially in the home of BMW ... Germany.
Good tuning with a good guarantee how your offering it would go well in Germany ... especially if you also would offer it about BMW dealers. |
