Dinan D-Tronics for M6

[noushy]

Mine is getting installed this week. Stage 2 is out for m5 and should be for m6 soon. I will post my impressions as soon as I drive it. Warranty was the big issue for me

Any guesses on what the numbers (0-60, etc) will be, with this tune?

One thing is for sure, brake pads will be worn out even faster, thanks to traction control (which will almost be a necessity ALL of the time).

Good statement
Probably we will experience "Christmas light" with traction indicator

Exactly! Just look at the performance data between the SL63 and the SL65. V8 vs v12, but both RWD. The difference is negligible. What good is another say 40-60 hp/tq if you can plant it properly....

Totally agree.

So far the car seems to run smoother with stage 2 programming now installed. Less hesitation and jerkiness compared to stage 1. I assume this has to do with programming for the intake and exhaust which my car had and the stock ECU was having difficulty with.
