As an illustration to how rare the failures are.... of the various shockware skus there have been a total of 1164 successful installs to date. Last I saw the amount of failed installs was under 20. It should also be noted that it is not limited to 4 series--2&3 series have had some instances as well. The 5 and 6 series I think have escaped any failures but they also are much lower volume. |

I talked to a DINAN rep shortly after my failed installation and was told specifically it was my car and not their software. I even asked if I should try another DINAN authorized dealer and they sounded pessimistic. I'm glad I was stubborn and scheduled an appointment at the other shop. Turns out the install succeeded and without a hitch.
Although I'm still scratching my head as to why it never took the first time, I don't care anymore because it worked out in the end. |

congrats on having it work! that makes it even more puzzling that something prevented it working the first time and subsequent attempts but then the issue cleared to allow it to work later. that's weird.

Shockware Failure
I have a 13' F30 335xi m-sport and my car failed to take the shockware update as well. I'm super disappointed and thought about asking them to try to reflash it to see if it would take. Since they had to reset the suspension to factory they weren't willing to due to the time involved. Gives me a bit of hope reading that someone else was able to get it to work at another dealer. Unfortunately I live 8+ hrs from a BMW dealer much less a Dinan one so it will be awhile. Actually making me think about getting rid of the thing since it wouldn't work. Makes all my hopes and dreams of what the car could be go up in smoke.

Much to my dismay, I'm the latest victim of the [supposedly rare] Shockware installation failure
Car: bone stock 2015 F30 N55 ///M Sport 6MT Location: Reggie's Motorworks, Indianapolis, IN (they're a Dinan-approved shop, they were very nice and apologetic about it, and they didn't charge me a dime so I'm definitely not hating on them) Date/Time: THIS MORNING Issue: The shop tried to install it for 2h and even talked to a Dinan tech on the phone for 45mins straight during that process. I called Dinan as I was driving home (nearly in tears!) and talked to the guy my shop was consulting throughout the process. He's gonna have their tech guys look into the data logs and get back to me in the next few days. He didn't seem super optimistic, but he did say that it's possible they'll find something correctable and get it done. Dinan_Engineering , if you're out there, PLEASE HELP!! I've heard such good things about this product, I was super psyched to finally install it, and, to be honest, it's one of the main reasons I bought a car with adaptive suspension

It's official...I'm f--ked. This just in from Dinan today: "Unfortunately, Shockware will not work with your specific vehicle. We’ve checked your BCU & PCU numbers and your combination cannot be flashed. We sincerely apologize for this."
Disappointed doesn't even begin to express my feelings about this situation right now.

Yeah just tried to have shockware installed on my 2017 340i xDrive. It took 3 hours the first time and once installed, it threw a Chassis Malfunction warning that locked the car in comfort mode. Flashed back to stock and tried again and still didn’t work. No luck. God, i miss my E90. Suspension and steering were perfect without any of this active bullshit

Add me to the list of failed Dinan Shockware attempts. Tried today on my 2015 335i with no luck. The Dinan authorized shop I went to, E1 Motorsports in Houston, tried multiple attempts and got the guys at Dinan on the phone. If I'm remembering correctly, the response was that Dinan's flash couldn't find the suspension EDC. My car is a factory M-Sport with M-Adaptive suspension, so all the goodies should be there for it to find. The shop I was at commented that the recent successful flashes they had were on newer model year vehicles. It doesn't sound like the shop has ever seen a failure before.
It took a two hour drive to my nearest Dinan authorized dealer to find this out. Oh well, at least I met some good people while I was there.
