BMS vs Dinan D tronics Tuning for M6
Does anyone has experience with the new D-tronics stage 1 from Dinan?
I know it's 3500 dlls vs 500 dlls for the BMS. I haven't heard about anyone's feedback http://dinancars.com/product/d440-16...ries&mid=1172/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://<a href="http://dinancars.com...&mid=1172/</a> |

Apparently the gains on the Dinan do not justify its price.

My boy's 2015 M6 was the first one to get the Dinan stage 1 about a half a week ago and it wasn't worth it. After getting it done for $3500 and another $500 to get it install the car felt the same, 646hp not even close. We tested it out with one of our friends 2014 M6 Convertible and we had the convertible by two cars at 145-150 mph. After a couple of days he took it back to the shop, they took the Dinan out and refunded the money. Went to this other shop, put the BMS on and it was huge difference compare to the Dinan u could feel it and for the price worth it. He just order the AMS Downpipes from IND and we will see how that goes.

What was the convertible running? JB4 w/ downpipes or something? You seem to be implying that the convertible was stock vs the Dinan stage 1 non-convertible. The laws of physics say that is an impossibility given the weight difference in the cars. Either that, the Dinan modded started off broken, the Dinan tune somehow subtracted power, or the driver of the Dinan car was incredibly bad (or the other driver was really good is also a possibility). The one thing I did take away from this though is that a refund was given so at least they are honoring their word on the 3 day return policy I suppose. Any clarification on the other car would be appreciated regardless. |

I read that line as the other way around with the convertible pulling 2 car lengths in front of the dinan vehicle. Hence the impossibility statement. I stand corrected.

Motor trend guy tested the stock M5. He got 0-60 in 3.7 second and 1/4 mile in 11.9 second @ 120.3 mph. The same guy tested the stock M6 convertible; 0-60 in 3.9 second and 1/4 mile in 12.3 second @ 115.2 mph. So if two cars race, when M6 convertible reaches 1/4 mile, M5 is 0.4 second ahead and even if the driver of M5 keeps the same speed (120.3 mph) in last 0.4 second after he passes the 1/4 mile and does not accelerate, he is about 21 meter (almost 4 car lengths) ahead. In reality M5 keeps accelerating and when M6 reaches 1/4 mile the distance is more than 4 cars. They keep going until M5 reaches 145 mph and the distance between them is getting more and more since M5 has better power/weight ratio and is faster. We know stock M6 coupe is not slower than stock M5 (actually it's a bit faster) so if M6 coupe races the M6 convertible the distance between them at the time M6 coupe reaches 145 is more than 5-6 car! How is it possible a car with Dinan mode to be slower than stock car, unless the convertible is tuned or they had rolling race starting at 60 mph or higher... These are links to those Motor Trend reports: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyzCeB8jaUY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VleiMvdB84s

Twich I have a question since I think both of us have about 10k on the clock, don't you feel a lot less grip compare to the day first when tires were brand new? with MDM mode enabled, every time I mash the gas, car does side skidding a lot more than months ago, before DSC engages. you have the same feeling?

My front tires are still good (5/32") but my rear tires are almost worn (3/32")...time to get new tires. I don't know if there is any street tire than PSS to have better traction

I've been considering it. Don't know if I should keep them or not. Some people have told me to keep them so I can sell the ADV1s separately when I sell my car. But it's nice to have the option to sell them just in case and it looks like they sell for more than I expected. Thanks for the link.

Even I keep checking the tires to make sure I haven't destroyed them yet at 6000 miles. I drive in south Florida weather were road is HOT! And still have traction issues My real question is if this tunes for the cars help on higher gears to pull off at highway speeds on lower revs let say 4th gear at 80-90 mph. Not those all non sense numbers .3 faster here than rhis and that I want real life performance delivery no bragging rights of numbers under the hood which is the same as bragging who's dick is bigger. |

The M6 convertible was stock. We did it at a roll with nothing in front of us and the convertible was there. The Dinan shop say that there was nothing wrong with the tune but there was. Both guys could drive the hell out of these cars. I wish I had a real camera to record to show u guys.

Of course these are the numbers collected by professional drivers but the point is that M6 is much faster than M4 in long distance race (and not in 0-60) because of its power/weight ratio
