Dinan Software for M6

LSM · 01-03-2014, 11:37 AM

Is there an ETA for this?? Seems Dinan releases software after the car is replaced by a new model...LOL...I get the R&D but come on already.....

No, I talked to Dinan a few times, there is already a beta software for the new M6/M5. The final version should come out in the end of Jan or mid Feb. Their greatest challenge is to unlock the top speed governor, apparently it's a lot harder on new models.

Thanks Mr Karim...Probably be super expensive but having warranty probably makes some sense

...Glad its going to be released soon...

No problem, I like an idea of keeping warranty also.
It terms of price, just a chip tuning on my 750i costed $3500, and I think it WILL cost more for M6/M5

Any movement on this? Can't believe it's taking so long. Have they thrown in the towel?

Also, any projected numbers on the possible gains?

I heard something interesting regarding Dinan's offering. Its been tested for over 100k miles on Steve Dinan's personal M5 including track days. All good, but I also heard its a "juice box" meaning piggy back not an ecu reflash

I talked with the Dinan rep at Classic BMW (Plano,Tx) today. Word on the street is the stage 1 will created an additional 60-70 HP. However, there appears to be another tune (I'm assuming additional hardware is involved), that will cost $12-13k. I have no idea what that could possibly be.

Curious to see what stage 1 will cost. I also heard that it will not be a flash.

Yea now if they ever release it....Seems they don't release anything until the end of the model cycle...it SUCKS!!

It really is disappointing. My F10 550i hauled serious tail, with the Dinan tuning and I have no complaints on the timing of their development on it. However, the M5 and M6 are a completely different story. Dinan is getting beat to the market by everyone.

Dinan will release a D-Tronics Performance Tuner, which will be a software box with wire harness. This will be available in June from my understanding.
Dinan has a cold air intake available now that will begin shipping next week as well.
