Dinan stage 1 breaks the 130mph trap barrier on 93 octane
I new she had more in it so I went back out this morning to my testing road and did this on plain old 93 octane without a roll out. I think we can put the Dinan vs BMS discussion to rest.

Didn't you run 11.50@132.8 a few weeks ago on the BMS tune? Same road if I am reading the other thread right...

For people who want to qualify for extended warranty, leased their car, etc, where Dinan isn't an option, the BMS Stage1 has a lot to offer for the price. And they are happy to work with customers to adjust the tuning to their driving taste. Stay safe out there! Mike |

Mike, my local BMW dealer said they would install Dinan equipment on my leased M5.
I didn't realize the Dinan tune would be discouraged on a leased vehicle. Dave |

Check out the Dinan T&Cs to get a feel for what he is referring to.. It includes details on how the factory warranty is augmented/replaced in part, and how it voids any CPO warranty, obviously the CPO warranty issues are not applicable to the initial leasee however I am not sure how BMW handles turn in when they cannot sell it as a CPO car.

I guess I would have thought the SA at the BMW dealer that performs the Dinan installs would have mentioned that to me. He made it sound like it was not a big deal and actually was excited that I was considering the Dinan tune. I will call and double check just to make sure.

The Dinan warranty also excludes coverage for any non-Dinan parts. Like downpipes, intakes, etc, so if say a turbo were to blow, and Dinan was aware of the non-Dinan parts, they could decide to deny warranty coverage. Dinan's warranty also excludes racing. Some warranty is better than no warranty and I don't want to scare anyone away from Dinan. But there are some details to consider. At the end of the day modding a car should be done with consideration and knowing some things can go wrong. This goes with tunes and any other aftermarket parts. Mike |

http://f10.m5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=928061 On your DCT issues or whatever other issues you had with the Stage1 tune, you could have contacted BMS to sort those out if you wanted. And if anyone out there is unhappy with the partial throttle response, shifting, etc, I'd encourage them to work with BMS so the Stage1 firmware can be improved for everyone. To date other than you they've never heard any complaints about the shifting. Mike |

On the Stage1 you're aware it's the same box used in the n63 Stage2 where wires for air/fuel and timing are connected right? BMS had the fuel and timing control connected to their M5 before switching to meth. The box doesn't have CANbus (e.g. it's not a JB4) but there is a lot more they can do with it if customers have specific areas they need help with. In other words just because you are saying nothing can be done doesn't make it so. Someone would just need to email in and ask for help. Mike |
