I just installed the Dinan CAI. I have not done the software upgrade yet, but am planning on it.
It does get confusing, it seems Dinan would have you get the CAI, Throttle Body and the level 3 software and the exhaust for that matter. I don't plan on purchasing the throttle body, so what software package is needed? Is it needed, or suggested? I have not called anyone there yet, but have just been reading their website. My car runs great with just the CAI. Without a question a noticeable difference from stock. Surprised the dealer won't install it without the software. What level software are they suggesting? |

From reading their site, changes the mixture, increases the rev limiter, removes the speed limiter, ups the shift points.

Performance Engine Software (Stage 1).Dinan Performance Engine Software unleashes more power by re-programming the fuel mixture and ignition timing parameters of the engine management system. Furthermore the software safely raises the rev-limit, giving your BMW a broader power band and greater road speed potential in each gear. Significant gains are also achieved at part throttle, making extra power available where you spend the bulk of the time driving. The top speed governor has also been eliminated, enabling the vehicle to achieve it's ''natural'' top speed.
Dinan Software is done is stages - Stage 2 Engine Software optimizes performance and drivability when installed with the High Flow Cold Air Intake System. Stage 3 Engine Software is for use with the High Flow Throttle Body optimizing performance and drivability. Stage 3A Engine Software is for use with the Cold Air Intake System and High Flow Throttle Body optimizing performance and drivability. Stage 4 Engine Software is for use with the High Flow Air Mass Meter Cold Air Intake System and High Flow Throttle Body, optimizing performance and drivability. Stage 5 Engine Software is for use with the High Flow Intake Manifold High Flow Air Mass Meter, Cold Air Intake System and High Flow Throttle Body, optimizing performance and drivability. |

I think that only applies to the 4.8. I have a 4.4 and it goes from stage 1 to 3 and 3a. Seems the 4.6 is the same as the 4.4. Not sure what the OP has. See what I mean about the confusion. |
