Ok. Maybe I should post this elsewhere, but I want to go on record that the best thing about the Dinan stage 2 tune is that solved all of my DCT related drivability issues. All of them!! No crazy confusion at low speeds, no more herky jerky when coming to a stop then go situation. It holds the gear just a bit longer, and downshifts earlier. When I asked the install shop if it would change any of the shifting they said no. So I don't know what the exactly it did, but I suspect it just prioritized performance over economy? Whatever, I love my car now! And the added power is a massive bonus. So happy I chose Dinan.

I have an F80 DCT non-ZCP with the Dinan Stage 2 tune + cold air intakes.
Dyno results: Stock, Stage 1, Stage 2. I do like to point out that at that time I did not have the Dinan Cold Air Intakes installed. Last edited by silverstar335; 12-15-2017 at 09:35 PM.. |

I've got a 135i with full DINAN stage 3: tune, intake, exhaust, intercooler, oil cooler. Plus strut tower brace, springs and struts, LSD, brembo brake kit, rear subframe braces, and (I think) sway bars (I'm not sure because I'll have to check; bought the car modded).
Why not? I know that my tune feels like the power pulses a bit sometimes |

BM3 with larger than Dinan turbo plus e85 is the sweet setup it seems if you don't care about warranty and the added stress on the engine/tranny/etc.
Going from Dinan Stage 2 to Stage 4 on the N55 453i did FEEL a bit less strong due to the way the power is delivered. Dinan Stage 2 has lots of low rev grunt, yet falls over itself at higher RPMs, whereas Stage 4 has low rev pull, yet maybe a touch less yet pulls hard all the way to the top rev range. JMHO and how it FEELS to me on the N55 engine 435i. Have about two years left on warranty and so like keeping that. Once warranty is done, then other options are on the table

The supporting upgrades from dinan I feel were well worth it (exhaust, intercooler, res delete) but the upgraded turbo (lack thereof) and the stage 4 tuner isn't worth it at all. This is just my personal experience and opinion.
If I had to do it all over again. I'd still buy dinans supporting mods but go with a solid tune from bm3 and have the real "big turbo" upgrade from pure. |
