Dinan suspension tune

I saw dinan offers a software tune the EDC suspension on my 340i xdrive m sport with THP. Does anyone have any experience with this? Is it worth the money ($200)? Curious as to what they would be tuning. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Nick

Just search dinan shockware...tons of info available. You lose comfort mode as you currently know it, and sport/sport+ is remapped. Steering is unaffected.

I've read generally good things, nothing bad. For $200 it's worth a shot. You can always sell it. Look for a discount. Try GetBMWParts website since I have seen them sell Dinan less than list

I got Shockware installed on my 2016 340i xDrive. It was well worth the $200 cost plus the additional $120 I paid the shop to install it. The car handles so much better. The descriptions you'll find are accurate. The settings for Sport/Sport + are moved up to Comfort and Sport/Sport + get the Dinan setting. The car is a lot more fun to drive. Go for it! You won't be disappointed if you want to improve the handling of your 340i.

I got Dinan Shockware on my 2014 328 m-sport with DHP. It made a huge positive difference. Switching out the run flats for proper go flats completed the transformation.

Go for it!

I'm waiting for my run flats to need to be replaced before I switch them out for go flats. I'm not looking forward to the bill when I get new tires but I am looking forward to the better ride quality.

It is so worth it. The ride is so much better. Please let us know after you switch share your experience.

I'm almost 40k on go flats (Bridgestone G Force) and I love them. I have and I'm getting wear on the inside rear (typical for BMW) so I just ordered Michelin Pilot Sport AS 3+. Can't wait to try those out.

You're right. I had the Michelin Pilot A/S 3+ on my prior 3-series. They are great tires and they will be what I get when the time comes. I think you'll really like them. I can't wait to see how good the ride quality and fun factor are with those tires and the Dinan Shockware together.
