Any way to check for Dinan Shockware?

HKD126 · 05-15-2017, 07:33 PM

Is there any way to see if Dinan Shockware is installed on your car? I bought my 2014 335i a few years ago, just looked at the suspension today and apparently it's had Dinan Springs on it this entire time! Now I'm curious as to if I have Shockware... I do have the DHP, so I guess it's plausible.

I found this to be absolutely hysterical.

Thanks!!

You could email Dinan with your vin to have them check. Vins are registered when shockware is installed, to my understanding

What a great find.

If you didn't have the Dinan Springs, I would tell you you know it has Dinan Shockware if Comfort mode feels like sport mode and is not soft an porpoise-like. But, your new-found springs could be providing some of that result. To confirm, I suggest yoiu send a note to Dinan with the VIN and ask.

Got a call back from Dinan and it turns out my car does have Shockware. Score!!! Just need to take it in to the local Dinan dealer to have it reflashed since it was probably flashed over when it was CPO'd.
