Just read on dinan's website that M6s manufactured after 7/2014 have an electronic wastegate instead of a mechanical one. When will the software for the new M6s be available? Is there a way to get this done in California?

In regards to when it will be available for the EWG version we have yet to to acquire a vehicle with an EWG in our shop so we haven't been able to test the new version of the tune compatible with it. Liek mentioned before all of the cars we have brought in so far have all been MWG cars even thought the cut-off date was passed. If anyone relatively local to the bay area has an EWG M5/M6 that they would be willing to let us use for some development we could get it to market much faster. Plus you will get a free tune out of it. Lastly, as for California legality (CARB) on city streets, we should have an answer for you in the very near future. If you are just tracking the vehicle there are a multitude of shops I can point you too that will be able to install it for you. PM your general location and I can direct you to a close one. |

Usually just a lurker here, but I have 2014 M6 GC with CP and I inquired today about the Dinan Tune at my dealership. While the dealership was very complimentary of the software and in fact recommended it, they noted that due to recent changes it would in fact greatly compromise the BMW factory warranty on the car.
According to my Service Adviser, BMW will now likely not honor any warranty work on issues with engine/transmission on Dinan equipped vehicles and the Dinan warranty will only cover items very specifically related to the software. This leaves a massive grey area where neither Dinan nor BMW will claim responsibility for work that would otherwise be covered under warranty. Again, these are NEW CHANGES instituted recently by BMW regarding Dinan products. Can anyone confirm if this is the actual case? |

That BMW dealer is not a Dinan shop, sucks for them. Call a dealer that is and they will not only install the item but never hassle anyone with warranty scare tactics. Regardless, Dinan is backing up everything like they claim. Win all across the board !! |

Thanks for your replies. To clarify, in my view the dealership in question is extremely "Pro-Dinan". They even had the parts in inventory and recommended the install. The Service Advisor didn't necessarily employ "warranty scare tactics" as he was mainly just responded to my many, pointed questions.
I agree that Dinan_engineering provided a very clear and honest picture of the warranty situation. |

Good info, thank you Dinan.
Have there been any reports of engine/transmission issues after the software upgrade? |

Not saying it cant happen but, I hear different answers from different dealers. There is the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act, so it needs to be proven before any warranty can be denied |

Not that I am aware of. The only issue that has popped up was the MAF sensor issue that has been pretty well documented here on the forums but that was related to the CAI and the (3) different versions that BMW employed. Those issues have been rectified and fixes are available for the various versions now so that problem is no longer.

So in regards to your original warranty being voided and replaced with a Dinan, is the entire BMW warranty voided or just engine related parts. For instance, my seat's ventilated fan is making noises and I am still under warranty until 11/2020 form my 2016 BMW M6 Gran Coupe and it is certified for another year after that, would i lose all that and would it not be covered?
also do you lose your certification warranty if you install this? |

As far as the new car warranty go that Dinan matches it would have no bearing on the warranty on unaffected systems such as the ventilated seats. |

Link provided Dinan_Engineering says it covers up to 2016 CP Gran Coupe m6's, how about '17-18?
Thx. H Quote:
