There is always a risk of falling between the cracks of the Dinan warranty and any potential BMW warranty refusal. That is why I suggested working with one dealer, preferably one you have a relationshipo with, who can help to bridge those potential gaps.
Or you could wait and buy the performance software kit directly from BMW. |
Spot on advice.
The ONLY advantage Dinan has over any other vendor is their warranty...
It is also the reason Dinan's power increases tend to be somewhat conservative when compared to what other vendors might eek out of a motor. I suspect Dinan has access to engineering design spec limits, which allow them to better understand where then can expand the envelope.
I am not a dinan fan, BTW. Most of their stuff is grossly over-priced for a name and bragging rights, but their power mod warranty is not to be under-appreciated.
